love the thread resurrection and subject matter. Somehow there 456 still remains close satisfying to my V12 itch even though It is unfashionably four seated. In my eyes one of the best looking F cars with added pop-up light appeal. The clearly gorgeous 550 feels too obviously good looking in a Hollywood matinee idol style perhaps and 575 cosmetically tweaked (although not quite Joan rivers).
Just my opinion, but the original design most often the best. Even with shopping cars, if the base model looks right it is good design. Add enough "styling cues" and anything can look good.
Original Fiat Panda? Cereal box but classic now - especially a 4x4
Does anyone want a bog standard Lancia Delta? anyone ? Just for the tip run? ......
