Exactly. I don't think you can look at the F430 and say it's hideous.

I could. 

On a day when I'm feeling generous, I could call it "interesting".

I don't think i could call any ferrari hideous, except at the side profile of a 360 and say it's hideous

If the 599 GTB had a Hyundai badge on it, you'd call it hideous.

F430 for show, F355 for the dough.  Chicks dig new Ferraris, and while it is far superior, dynamically, the 355 is more than enough car for me.

Oh wait. I forgot about the 599. I could call that hideous on any given day

I like the F430 a lot, in terms of styling too. I think the F355 is classic, but the F430 can outperform it. I'll take the F430.

BTW, I actually like the styling of the modern Ferraris. All except the 612 Scaglietti. I find it bland, and kinda ugly.

Haha.  The 612 is the only modern Ferrari whose styling I find mildly acceptable.

I didn't like it at first either, but it seems to do well as an executive GT.  And when you think of it in that way, the weight doesn't seem so bad either.  It's not that ugly unless you compare it to the 456.

They aren't gorgeous in a classical sense. Comparing the 355 to the 430 is like comparing Scarlett Johanson to a porn star.

I really like your analogy.

I didn't like the 599 initially, but it has really grown on me and now I just love it.




The 612 on the other hand is hideous and a KIA badge would look right at home on the front of it.




The 355 is one of my favourite cars of all time.  It's gorgeous.

F355, the design is timeless.


Absolutely true. When I think 'Ferrari', the first car that comes to mind is the 355. The second car that comes to mind is the F40.
The 355 is one of the greatest car designs ever.

That's pretty damn sweet.

QFT; but I'm not a big fan of the yellow wheels.
