With the sports package and those 18" rims, <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/cool.gif"> !<BR>
I think the new 7 is ok, but only in darker colors and with the big wheels.<P>I think that the Enzo is kinda hideous. But it runs like Al-Qaeda at the sight of Marines, and that makes up for a lot of ugly.<P>What's up with those big vents at the front of the Cayenne?

HUH!! this list cannot be complete without my favorite new mid sized sedan, the Caddy CTS!<P>Woah, it looked alright in some press pictures, but upon seeing this "beautiful sleek design" I must say "Did they make the mold cutting up butter with a knife?"

Remember the clear piece of the tail that the last incarnation of the CRX had? This Merc has that. The back end is stubby and ugly, I've seen it in a couple of colours here and they are really ugly from the back. Total design failure IMO. For the money I would rather own anything else available.<P>
Though it is fugly the Multipla is functionally minded in a great way. I do have to stick up for the Enzo though. If you shave off the fenders and stuff, you get an F2002 with a big windshield. As with most earlier Ferraris that were based on racing cars, everything is functional on the exterior of the car. It was developed in a wind tunnel with that being it's strongest influence toward final shape. Before the wind tunnel though, most Ferraris made do with what worked on paper and it just happened that it looked good too. (250 GT SWB Competezione) Everything was functional save a California Spyder I remember having false side scoops accented with a chrome spear to hide the door handle. Most of the functional stuff ended up becoming the influence for styling cues in other cars. With most of the design being done on Computers now, stuff that's functional doesn't always look fantastic but boy oh boy does that new car scoot! <BR> I would consider myself a member of the Tifosi and a self avowed Ferraristi, but I do think the new Enzo is a little wierd looking. (esp. from the rear where most Ferraris look fantastic, they have to, 'cause that's what most folks see) In terms of it's sheer functionality, the thing is drop dead gorgeous. <BR> If you really want to see an odd Ferrari, try to find a photo of a 340 Mexico. They were Vingale bodied cars raced in the Carrera Panamericana. Functional but kind of wierd looking and an absolute beast to drive.
