WOW, that's pretty darn close to the SLC pics out now.

Both very nice.

Which one do you guys like better?

The F looks real nice with hood down - have not seen it with hood up - could really spoil the lines - will have to see...

Think I've owned my last benz - so mbe I am baised.

As far as keepers go ... that Ferris has got to be right up there.

The old California 250's are sooo nice.

I like the hood scoop. Has some retro touches. I'm glad the design went to more curves as opposed to the hard lines of say the F430. The stacked exhaust pipe is iffy.

love the retro styling.

seems like F is following the crowd and bringing back the retro front end, much like the new SL.

S600TT, R350

I do not like it. It looks like it was designed by a group junior college students, with each one assigned one part of the car. It is too disjointed and looks too much like a Japanese design.

Now the silver one takes my breath away............

I stand alone!

Its a bit AMV8, Alfa mix ... but its a tourer so I suppose not meant to be too radical.

Think its way nicer than the Scalietti though and its a drop top... still need to see pics with roof up...
