... 996, that's the previous model right?



One should always remember that it's the board that makes the final decisions reg. about the final product. I do know that several designers at Porsche got very frustrated in the past since their ideas and concepts didn't - or could't - make it into reality.

Ken Okuyama set a new direction for Ferrari - no matter what everyone thinks about its design. I had a hard time understanding the F430 and 612 design language until I discovered the 599. The new design language has been established all over the product range and should be a good starting point for upcoming models. In the end I prefer a controversial design over a blunt, softened one any day!
