Its pretty hard to imagine people NOT knowing what a Ferrari looks like. Ferrari's look like no other and I am sure that if it had no badges on it, people would assume that it is a Ferrari, pretty much the same way that you can debadge a MB and you would still know what it is.

HAH you'd be suprised. Ever take a clueless chick around for a drive? We spotted a 8er with Scuderia shields and she was like 'ohhhhhhh its a Ferrari' I broke out laughing.....

All people know is the Ferrari badge and its sex appeal most people have NO CLUE what it looks like. Go back and look at old posts a lot of people HATED the Enzos design but have grown to love it over time. The problem with the SLR is it was so late its been a concept since what 98? Thats a lot of expectation they should have simply designed the car then released a 'concept' car for the public to see.
