How can an opinion on what a car looks like be a failure?
Either he likes it or he doesn't, he cannot be wrong about what he likes.

Agreed... this is exactly what those who don't like the look of the C7 have been saying all along to those that do like the C7?
Well, it's what they say until it doesn't suit their argument

Cmon man, research this tools posts! He always has some 2 bit negative comment about almost any car that gets mentioned.
Was I the only one who said he was nuts regarding his Ferrari comment?

Seriously the F12 is one of the best looking cars ever made. The 458 is in fact special as well.
And yes, im a vette guy, but I know a supermodel when I see one.
I think the F12 looks kinda bad.
The 458 Italia on the other hand? Now THAT is an Italian Supermodel
Ferrari in my opinion shouldn't try to do Front engine rear drivers. They never look nearly as sexy as their mid engine cars.

I was just messing around... keeping it fun
I agree... the 458 is one of, if not the most, beautiful cars available today. I would take it over almost anything else.

The stance everyone complains about is what I had Gabriel Air Shocks in my 1967 SS 350 Camaro to achieve. A VERY SLIGHT rear to front downward rake. It suits my eye. On the other hand, I also understand and appreciate the 4-corner lowered more sports car cornering performance look however.

Every pic of a blue C7 looks like a rendering to me. Haven't been able to pinpoint exactly why.

We agree to disagree. I don't think it looks "tacky" at all.

White Ferrari's are very popular. When I was in the market for an F-car, thats all I was focused on. As red & yellow seemed way too popular & cliche. After spending $150k on a car, the last thing I wanted was to have someone park/pull up beside me with the same car in the same colour. White also draws more attention to the styling lines & body details. There's nothing "hidden" on a white car.
Here's a Google image link with 100's of white Ferraris. Have fun and try not to fall in love:

Hm. I dunno, I'm just not big on white usually.
I like the white Fs though... those look very clean.
this one I like ALOT though.

Agreed.
It also pays homage to the '63 Stingray. Which is where this car pulled many of is visual cues & design language from.
