I'm not gonna argue, those are beautiful, but if I do ever get my 80s-90s Ferrari it's just gonna have to be Rosso Corsa with the tan leather. I just... want.

Dunno, I always found the 308/328 to be a bit tacky

That just looks like Miami Vice. How about the red interior you could get in a 355?

White Ferraris really only work if you wear a white suit with a pastel t-shirt, though. (Dammit, beaten)

F355 is still that last Ferrari that I really, really like the look of, and would actually consider buying. Conveniently, it's the only one that fits in the middle of the Venn diagram of "do I like it?" and "could I afford it at some point?".

Conveniently, it's the only one that fits in the middle of the Venn diagram of "do I like it?" and "could I afford it at some point?". I'm the same way. I've been thoroughly nonplussed by every Ferrari since the 355 with a minor exception for the FF. I liked the 550 and 575 as well, but they look drat close to the 355. 360 - blah 430 - worse than the 360 458 - whatever 612 - ugh California - UGH FF - ehh Enzo - big ugly shoe FXX - Jesus, they somehow made the Enzo worse F12 - blargh LaFerrari -  I don't know; maybe I'm weird for not liking all these modern Ferraris. I like the 400 too, so maybe I'm broken  Edit: the door scoops were a bit of an evolution of the strakes on the 348, which were an evolution of the strakes on the 512/TR. I like 'em.

I have been in love with the 355 because it loving ruled in Forza 2, but I really do not care for it in that British Racing Green color. I guess I'm a traditionalist who thinks Ferraris' primary color should be red, with yellow or white as suitable substitutes. The only black Ferrari I've cared for was that 599XX posted in the awesome pics thread. On the other hand, I feel like Lamborghinis should default to black, unless it's that neon green seen on some Gallardos. I'm a weird dude.

My favorite modern Ferraris based on looks are the 308 with euro bumpers, 328, 355, 360, 456, F12, and my most favorite, the 550/575 Marinello. I dunno what it is exactly about the 550/575 shape that does it for me, but I'm in love with that car. I personally think either silver or black look best, but it really is drop-dead gorgeous in any color.

That car is so gorgeous you could paint it with a form of paint that causes people to vomit just looking at it, and it would still look good.

I think I might be the only person that actually likes the look of the California. It doesn't really seem likes its trying too hard, which I think most of the other "modern" Ferraris are doing.

I think the issue with Ferrari is they're letting aerodynamics dictate the form, which really handcuffs what they can do with the styling. Great for performance, bad for finding stuff to hang on your walls.

"At some point" probably being immediately at purchase, and not any point thereafter. (Not a hater, the 355 is my favorite 90s Ferrari).

The ironic thing about this is that it is well known in the Formula 1 circle that Ferrari's wind tunnel supposedly sucks rear end and doesn't really produce consistent, good data.

I like it too, though I think it really should have been a coupe, not a convertible, It looks so much better with it's top up. The 355 Spyder is fantastic, but I can't look at one without thinking of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJSjR1Zg0mo&t=25s neckbeard fucked around with this message at 23:22 on May 23, 2014 |

I've always like the 512 BB because it's got a 12 cylinder boxer engine in it and has not a single ounce of fat or flab on it:

Sad to think that the exotics of today represent the best that can be done, style wise.

It would be cool if Ferarri brought back some older models with retro styling. A modern Daytona Spyder would be loving sweet.

Don't they have like a 15k timing belt interval and doing the belt requires engine+subframe removal? Also they don't look that great to me, the lines separating the bumpers and the rest of the body are really awkward. Like, the proportions and overall shape are nice but the details are really clunky and clash with eachother a lot. This goes for the majority of post-70's ferraris. Best looking 'modern' era ferrari in my book:   Also helps that it looks and handles like a 308 but isn't terribly slow. Also GIS the engine bay for archaic efi laughs.

The 288 proportions are much better than 308. Form what I hear 348, 355 and Mondial 3.4T are the most expensive V8 Ferraris to maintain. There's a reason why they are relatively inexpensive to buy. 308/328 or 360/430/458 are much cheaper to maintain.

The 458 looks like poo poo in any color other than white. It won't look nice in pictures, but in real life the white looks fantastic. I don't even like white cars and the 458 looks great in white. In any other color though the 430 looks better.

There was an article on Petrolicious recently about a guy who convinced his wife to buy a Ferrari for 1 year and then sell it. Actually, it's about a book he's written about it, but they go in detail about some of the maintenance costs.
