I'd expect a more aggressive look, but the car is great.

Hard to say until it gets its millennium yellow paint job, but I think it's going to be a stunner.

Mind you...all of the GT cars are lookers.

It reminds me of an HSV at the front. I got to say the back end looks great. Can't wait to see it in yellow.

It is strange. Similar aero on the Ferrari and every time I see a 458 I think someone has run into the back of it.

less bodywork behind the rear wheels is the price to pay to have a wider diffuser

Less room between the rear deck and wing is because the new body line. The wing height is dictated by the overall height of the cars roof line.
