New Ferrari family - your thoughts?

I like the new F12 and can't wait to see it in person.
However, in a perfect world, I think the F12 should have been the FF. I believe they could have made that car into a 4 seater coupe. Just my 2 cents.

Design language is not always carried through a brand strictly for aesthetic purposes. While it is imperative that cars’ visual appeal resonates with their perspective owners, it often is a matter of applying the firms latest R&D to each model being produced. Location of intake points, vents, and wings are all products of the last few years of wind tunnel, track, and fluid dynamic testing. What appeals to some will never appeal to all. I like where the design efforts have led Ferrari as of late. They are dealing quite well w/ ever increasing safety regulations and emissions demands while further developing more capable and even more powerful vehicles. Like it or hate it, you have to respect the development these automobiles have been through. Though if you do truly hate it, consider it an initial building block from which many improvements can and will be made.
I think people are not realizing that automotive design today is completely different then what it was in the past. Government regulations have pretty much forced designers to work around them. It is amazing that human creativity is able to still get around these artificial barriers and produce good looking cars. Those lights are from stupid envrionment LED BS introduced in the eurozone, ride height sitting too high and akward bumpers are from US saftey regulations. Designers are very limited in what they can do from an asthetic point of view. Ferrari has to comply with so many costly rules that it would be economically impossible to produce 100% unique cars without double the price tags. They are already producing great products, if customers want to complain they can direct their anger at the nearest government office.
safety regulations make it hard to create new designs...yet astonishing new cars are being revealed!
I like the new gen designs,but nothing beats the F430 Scuderia front end..

btw...I don`t know how Lambo did it,but with the Aventador they must have applied some Mafia tricks to get it legal for road use..
just look at it..
and the exhaust would normally be totally illegal in Germany..they must have talked a bit more seriously with the TÜV

The California looks like the 'special' brother of the four. 458, FF, and F12 all look like they have grins while the Cali looks like it has a goofy ass smile.
As for the new line, it's growing on me. When the 458 first came out I didn't like the new direction Ferrari was headed, then over the few years it's become one of my favorite modern supercars and I imagine that the F12 will follow. Since the FF's release, I have begun to acquire a little taste for it. The biggest factor with these cars is just how far Ferrari has been able to push the performance envelope. All three have unreal performance values that make them difficult not to love. The California is for the girlfriend to cruise around Beverly Hills and up to Malibu.

Don’t mean to double tap this issue… But, I find Porsche to be the manufacturer that sticks most to one recipe. Yes, it is a brilliant, time tested, and beautiful formula. But, like this new run of Ferraris, each model shares the same overall chemistry. Lights, grill shape, general body design, and roofline curvature to name very few. The Boxter, Cayman, Carrera, and Panamera are all very similarly desgined (and for good reason). Just a comparative observation and food for thought.
