I don't think that this car is anywhere near as ugly as the hideous turds most automakers are making these days.

The original Dino is a beaut, along the lines of the Miuda, however, the GT4 is right there, dead smack in the rough patches of 80's auto design. Ferrari wasn't the only one with troubled and squared off lines.
Bertone did design one of my favorite classic Italians, the Alfa GTV.

Hard to argue! You forgot to add, partially-moulded turds. Much like most DSLRs, aka "partially melted plastic ash-trays".
Cheers,

Why do people complain about current cars? There are some beautiful cars around these days and back then there were some ugly ones.
But this isn't an ugly car and it IS a Ferrari. And Paul McCartney had a Mini Cooper S, though cool, it is NO ferrari!

Very, very human...subject to more than his fair share of human foibles.
FWIW, I like the car.

True. Apart from the reverse floor seam (which would have been an improvement on most Ferraris) it was properly designed by someone who knew what he was doing. I'd back Issigonis against Ferrari's bought-in talent any day. I mean: Morris Minor and Mini?

There are no ugly Ferraris.

I don't get it. The Ferrari is awesome and if you are the most famous person in you might want a big gross Chrysler to not be noticed. All makes sense to me.

While I'd prefer a different color and definitely the dual over the quad headlamps, I'd certainly not turn down the chance to drive, let own, any 330.
That said, I suppose Lennon could have picked something else.

I think its the most French looking Ferrari I have ever seen. I don't find it particularly ugly or bland, but I do find it 'odd looking'... a fusion of styles which just don't work harmoniously together.
The E-type was a much prettier car and I sure countless others were too.

It's not that unattractive, but compared to some of their icons such as the GTO, LM, Dino, 275GTB, and so on, few cars will be flattered.
I had a friend who had a GT4. Perhaps not the best looking car they ever made, but he thought it was one of the best handling, and he used to race it occasionally. Shouldn't be too hard on Bertone. They also bodied the Miura...

Good looking car. Plus, it has a decent size back seat. 🙂 In some ways much more practical than, say, a Dino ...

Lennon has made some worse decisions than buying this Ferrari.
