Integrate the hatch more with the rear window so there is no visible seam there. Make the rear of the car have a more pronounced trunk/boot or make it look less like a fiat hatch just rear-ended a california. Add a scoop, C-pillar duct (ala the 599), duct, vent to the rear.
For the front, the proposed 458 influence is not present in this rendering so I will reserve my judgment. However, as long as they do infact look different enough, and the replacement GT Ferrari looks large and aggressive I think it will be fantastic.

Rumormill: Ferrari to unveil all-wheel drive shooting brake in Geneva?
We're anticipating a new Ferrari to be unveiled in a few months time at the Geneva Motor Show, but just what form – and arguably just as vitally, what technology – the new Prancing Horse will take has been the subject of much rumor and conjecture as of late.
Based on Ferrari chief Luca di Montezemolo's reported pronouncement that his company is preparing "a very different new Ferrari" for the Swiss salon, initial reports speculated that a production-ready hybrid could be in the cards. But the latest reports seem to call that into question.
So if not a hybrid, what has Maranello got in store for us? Most reports point towards a replacement for the 612 Scaglietti, the company's flagship (if somewhat lackluster) four-seat GT. Others suggest a shooting brake two-door wagon, while yet others report that whatever debuts will incorporate the company's part-time all-wheel drive system, if not necessarily a hybrid drivetrain. The truth probably lies in the combination of several of these reports, if not all of them, but we'll just have to sit tight to see what will lie underneath the veil come March.
