Default Ferrari w/Corvette Style cues

I was drawn to this link from the Inside GM News website....I kept looking at this new Ferrari and the more I looked the more I wish I was looking a C7 and not a Ferrari....the side profile has some Corvette styling cues that really outstanding....and the hood is not too bad either!!!

Yes agree give the new Corvette a real front end do something that says I must have one.

Also make side rear quarter scoop look like it was made for the car not just taken out of a box and glued on.

But it is just a convertible version of the 599 which has been on the market now for years. How can this be a rip off in any way from the concept?

This car has 'styling cues' from a Corvette because it is a front engined Ferrari imho. And the most beautiful Ferrari currently available.

I don't know where this looks like a Vette, I would say more like the Shelby GR-1.

I wish GM would do something similar to this for the C7, but I'm afraid it'll look closer to the Stingray concept

The headlights seem inspired by Ferrari's current 458 Italia:
