I like it!

Couldn't find the owner's site. Couldn't get into Ferrari World either
(do those people even know how to build a website?) unless it's because
the opening page is Flash, which my fucked up OS won't run because I'm
too stupid to know how to download it for Linux.

Can you find something else on it? I can't. Thanks!

It's the lead picture at barchetta.cc, not bad - but I see some Mazda.
What the fuck is it this year with the bulging wheel well look? Not
that I was ever the greatest Mercedes fans, but the 2006 models might as
well banish themselves from the earth. Those wheel-wells-on-steroids
ruin the SL65, CL65 models, and the S400 etc.

I think I'd stick with the 575M.

Well, I looked over all the photos on barchetta.cc; I don't know, I have
to reserve judgement until I can see more. Of course there's no auto
show in this part of town, I don't even think there's one in Phoenix.
BUT, I do love the pentagram wheels, particularly on the green
rendition!! new ad: "599 Barchetta - The Car of Satan".

The front end looks 612 Scaglietti-ish. The sides are unremarkable and
have that not-menacing wheel well thingy going on. The back looks like
Spawn of Enzo, Spawn of F430. I don't get it. Can't these guys pen an
original design any more? Or even one based somewhat on the predecessor
model?

That said, everybody knows I hated the Enzo and I quickly reversed that
opinion once I saw Tiff toss one around at Fiorano and then a real one
at an auto show. The 12-cylinder coupe being my favorite "type" of
Ferrari, I do look forward to seeing more pics or video or on the street.

I'm glad to see the "Old Time" nomenclature come back. GTB returns!
There are some 612 cues in it, but I think the proportions are much
better in the GTB. I was afraid that it'd have rather conservative,
overly long lines of the 612, but it looks aggressive enough for me.

The sides are unremarkable and
I like the various vents on the car, they help define the shape and are
clearly "purposeful" not just a design element (hood vents remind me of
the 365GTB). Remember, there are no new ideas at Pininfarina anymore!

Indeed. You need to seem them in the flesh. 'Till then, I'm a fan!

The Hot Wheels car will be out in Nov. '06 according to their site.

That was a quick listing...

They're going to show it at Detroit, but the official unveiling is at
Geneva. You know those Europeans - other than Miami, New York, and
Beverly Hills, the US doesn't exist.

It's a bald, vulgar, Z06 knock-off.

Perfectly hideous.

A harbinger of the return to gold chains and chest merkins.

Ferrari under Todt is absolutely bereft.

....and the lemmings will line up 12-deep for the honor of paying $50k
over the $300k sticker.

Must be some rich lemmings around (chill out, Mark - all that bile is
bad for your stomach). Personally, I think it looks good (the design is
consistent with the current range, which I also like) and I imagine
that driving one would be huge fun.I'll just have to keep being nice to
the rich folk round here and hope for the best ;-)
