Nothing wrong with an egg crate, but every designer wants to add their flair to it...

I am not a big fan of the grill but the flowing lines of the Roma come closer to my idea of a Ferrari than many of the companies recent designs……….

Agreed, the grill on my home air conditioner is nicer.

Ditto...  I think that grill looks like a high school metal shop project.

I have to admit that I am not a big fan of the Roma.  And my family is Roman.  The grille just seems odd to me.

My impression of car design nowadays is that they’ve run out of ideas and are just doing outlandish for outlandish’s sakes. You could get away with that back in the ‘80s as it was that last coke-fueled hoorah left over from the 1970s spaceship school of design.

 

It’s why I really appreciate the look of the new Roma. It’s a really nice clean shape that introduces new features to the traditional elements that (maybe) Ferrari had been hanging onto for too long. Without all of the extra stuff that seems to have become de rigueur (slats, slashes, scoops, creases, etc). This car has really grown on me in just a short time since it’s introduction.

 

My Mondial gets compliments every time I park it somewhere. People are shocked when I tell them it’s 32 years old...

Lash posted “All wonderful designers and shapes.” List

 

 

Good list Lash . . .

 

Sports car design in general – lets take Porsche and Ferrari as sports cars on the same continuum.

 

Porsche does it’s “Form Follows Function” schtick and says “like it or leave it.”

 

Ferrari designs the sexist most bodacious beauty’s and then asks – where do we put the gas tank(s)?  Passengers?  Luggage . . . .

 

Gotta love our 308GTS, exceptin’ for changing sparkplugs, carrying Hershey bars in my luggage, doing a suspension over haul . . . .

 

Cheers

Doug
