See I still just do not get it. The classic V12 cars from Ferrari, sure I get those, and absolutely they have some beauties. But the 550? (or even the 456), while nice looking, are nice looking in the same way that a 4th gen Corvette, or a Nissan 300ZX are nice looking to me at least. I consider those two cars low points on the style meter from Ferrari, even the 308GT4's with their attempts to be Lotus Esprits are better looking and more timeless overall.

If you look at it long enough you can see 50 years of Pinin Farina styling, and when you drive it, it is all Ferrari. The Dino isn't bad either. Thanks Gary for the post.
