Still looks girly to me, but much better in Red. I still hate the exhausts though. I dunno, maybe in real-life it'll look better. I know someone who said the IS-F tips looks better in real-life. Hmmm...thoughts?

The IS-F tips aren't even real, so I'd have to say that the Ferrari wins in that category. Otherwise, I don't really care for it at all. Do we know the price?

I see Maserati + Corvette = Ferrari California.

I still can't get over just how unoriginal it looks. I mean, I know it may look a little like some other cars, but I think the grill is what gets me the most. And yeah, the stacked exhaust is still silly.

Still, I'd give anything to have one.

Neither is the LP640 exhaust:

That whole car, especially the exhaust, is absolutely wretched. When I see most of these new cars, I can't help but wonder whatever happened to finding beauty from simplicity??

Actually thought this post was a joke when I first saw the pic. Thought for sure that was a Maserati. I would still take it though!

looks alot like Maserati's new Gran Turismo. it may be on the same chassis, but that's just a guess at this point, as i'm too lazy right now to do any research...

looks really great with the top up, imo. especially the side and rear 3/4 angle.

and at the same time...it reminds me of the chevron toy cars and also the race car from Cars. lol.

I agree the lines don't flow, some are just too hard, and I hate the stacked exhaust on this and the IS-F.
