I like the Ferrari F430. The Dark blue one. The convertible. A lot. Especially at the LA Auto Show. On Press Days. Just like this one. On the Ferrari stand. Just like this one in the picture.
The Good - the styling. The design. Of the back. I like the 3D shape of the tail lights, it's a nice evolution of the 4-round tail light design. The matching two dual horizontal tailpipe stacks are a nice touch. Oh and the booth babes.
The Bad - The front end. The headlights are so unimaginative they make the ones on a Hyundai Genesis Coupe look more inspired. And that is sad. This is a Ferrari for God's sake! I don't much like the air intakes, how there're four of them. Ferrari should've made one huge opening on each side of the car, like the Enzo. I'm not saying the Enzo's a beauty, but I like the huge air intakes. The Enzo is kind of like a "butherface," everything good but her face.
The Ugly - I abhor the tacky big ass Ferrari badges on the front fenders. It's screaming, "Hey I know I'm already compensating, but just in case you didn't notice, it's a Fucking-erari. Byotch!" Very useful for picking up dates who can't tell their Ferraris from Corvettes.
In conclusion, no single car is perfect (except for the 2005 Infiniti G35 S sedan), not even the mighty Ferrari F430. A friend of mine actually owns one of these, and I got to drive it once. It is awesome to drive, the engine screams. I still don't like the air intakes and the big ass badges though.
