I hate the rear of this car - too much Lexus. Teh front looks nice. Overall an uncool IMO.

But I remember thinking the 550M was bland when it first came out (compared to its predecessor) and now I think it is one of the nicest looking modern Ferraris. So maybe with passage of time I will upgrade the rating of the car too

Cool!!

Don't you think it's too soon to have an opinion about it ?? I think I really like it but I've only seen this official pics so far.

The wheels are really weird ( I would say horribles but that's too strong )!!

Unfortunately I had to vote "uncool" on this one. The 599 GTB certainly has the performance credentials, aerodynamic finesse, power and sportive-luxury that a true GT car from Ferrari should have. Unfortunately I think that the styling, like that of the 612 will probably date fairly quickly and unlike current Astons, it is neither beautiful, nor exactly coherent. As such, purely from a design standpoint, I think it falls flat. Pininfarina has been going in strange directions of late and for me, the 599 GTB looks too reptilian to deserve a "cool" rating or higher.

I like the rear end, but the front is a mixed reaction for me. However seeing as the 599 will be the first true competetior to the SLR McLaren with it's 620PS V12 i'll give it Cool.

it's cool. At first I hated it but now it's grown on me. And that's it's key... it's controversial. If you see one live, you either love it or hate it, it won't leave you undecided. And it has plenty of character.
