Looks pretty good, but the shark-like look of the coupe is lost in the transition IMO.

A bit of a poseurs car

I llove this thing!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!

Although i am a little dissapointed they named it the 575 "Superamerica"... I would have preffered it if they named it "barchetta"...

Check this out:

Just noticed the shield surround of the prancing horse on the back of the car... nice touch.

The interior is good, just like the 430s, we are seeing a great improvement in Ferrari interiors (i know that's not all a Ferrari is about, but it's a must have nowadays )

The bit where the roof sits looks very odd, covered or uncovered

I think another limited edition, like the 550 Barchetta would have been better 8)

The roof looks odd...the profile looks great...but when you see the car from the back it gets kinda wierd...it just doesn't look right...still looks good though...I thought it was gonna look worse...i wonder why they didn't go with a mercedes style hardtop? weight maybe?...

Oh and the little shield thingie around the horsie...well i don't like that, I think the plain old prancing horse would fit just fine...

I like it...the roof is a little odd-looking since it's transparent, but other than that, great profile...and the roof doesnt' spoil the lines...the rear end is a much better looking adaptation of the 575's than the 550 Barchetta's was of the 550. I'm also kind of happy to see the Superamerica name revived...it's been a long time.

Ugh...does Ferrari have a new policy of making all their cars ugly now? :x I'm sorry, but beginning with the Enzo...which is on the ugly side for a Ferrari, or at least its definitely not beautiful...then the 612 which is very bland and boring, then the 430...a bit on the ugly side IMO...especially when you compare it to the 355...now they are messing up a great looking car with this silly roof!

The 550 Barchetta looks much better...maybe if they removed that swinging glass roof thing and just made it a targa top this one would look ok...
