It's a hard choice. The Maranello does look good actually.
I'm going to take the 599. It's better than the Maranello a lot but if it comes to look, it would be the 550.

They both look damn sexy.

I'd be happy with either one though, hard to choose.

The 550 for me. It so gawd-dang sexy. Probably the best one before the F430 and the rest spawned up. I don't care if the 599 is faster and more comfortable, the 550 is just right perfect for me. If only you can get a 550 with an Enzo engine in front, that would be awesome :D !

I really like the 599.

It looks fantastic, it goes like stink and it can cut a mean curve.
Kudos to Ferrari for making a badass GT car.


Having said that, I'll take the 550, every time.
It's classically handsome, and, well, just way cooler than 599.

Maybe it's just me but I think Ferrari is losing it's lust. It's still an incredible machine, but it's not as swoopy and flowing as some of the older Ferraris, they seem to be focusing wayyyy too much on their F1 technology and style.

I agree with you Porscheboy.
Ferrari, although I LOVE THEM, have spent a BIT too much time figuring ways to make their cars shift faster, be lighter, etc., and less time on the design of the car. I wish that the 599 could've looked like the 575M Maranello, but alas, my wish didn't come true.

As for the comparison, despite it being not as beautiful as it could be, I would still take the 599GTB, because it is quicker, and I like the cabin layout (I've been in one). Also, that V12 sounds AWESOME!!
