Cool 2006 Ferrari 599 GTB (550/575 replacement)

Somehow i just dont like the way the rear of the car was designed
http://www.supercars.net/PicFetch?pi...00_imola-3.jpg

At first glance the Imola mimics its larger 4-seat brother, the 612 Scgalietti. Both share the same front end design which Pininfarina now sets as the enduring face of Ferrari. Unlike the 612 however, the 600 has an entirely new roof line and much more tidy rear end treatment.

Underneath the purposeful skin, the 600 retains the same front engine V12 layout which the 550/575 Maranello line successfully reintroduced. To make up for its longer chassis, the 600 uses a 6.0-liter engine producing from 580 to 600 bhp.

It looks great from the side, but the front and the back are REALLY ugly. And the rims, omg I'm going to puke!!!

They are much worse than the ones on the F50.

I think it's a really nice looking car. It looks better than the f430 imho.

Cool, it's not good looking like the 550 or 575M, but it's striking. It'll stand out.

That new 600 Imola looks good but I have to say these rims are so ugly.
I hope Ferrari to change this ones and maybe put on the ones from actual 575 HGTC which are supreme.

I don't like, it, but some people will. It'll definitely stand out.

It definitely has an agressive design and will stand out from crowd. But i don't like it so much as 550 or 575 which i think are one of the best Ferraris ever.
