Compared to what's been shown so far, the Beluga nose is nicer than the donger noses.

Look at the Jordan in your avatar; low nose but a slightly raised middle part of the wing; looks pretty and there is still airflow under the car.... 'But nooooooo'!
 
Not sure what to think. Thank goodness its not another pointed nose, but at the same time I go "what the hell is that?".

The Jordan's didn't have nearly as much going on under them as the cars do now. They didn't have the front rake and turning veins that run under the nose.
 
Could have been worse, not that I like the new car, it's still ugly as hell, but could have been worse.

F14T = Ugly Red Crocodile

Hopefully biting the tracks in 1st place.

I liked the black on the 2013 but think they've gone alittle ott on it in 2014.

Is it there to hide some aero bits?

Was just looking at it and thinking it maybe looks charred. Maybe its to hide the charring of their constant engine failures!

Looks better on track than from the images issues at release!

Well seeing style is always in Ferrari's priority book, i think their vacuum cleaner is still a bit better looking than the schlong noses. My eyes still hurt though.

Mercedes adopted a similar solution but looks a little bit better, actually the only two teams without that nose and personally the best looking ones, Red Bull looks quite decent too.
As of today, all the cars have been released?

Thanks for the heads up 👍, i haven't even seen the Merc (OP needs to adjust the thread title, i thought it was just about the engine).

Mercedes looks the best of all, RBR just tried to conceal their shlong, painting it black.

No, we still have Caterham some time today - they were planning to go straight from the launch into testing, but have run into some kind of problem and the car is currently in pieces in the Jerez pit.

Marussia were due to launch today as well, but have also had some kind of problem and held the car at the factory to fix it. The car is currently on its way to the circuit, and will launch either tomorrow or Thursday.

And the Lotus has not been seen in the flesh just yet.
 
To think, if they had the normal suspension (I can't remember if it was pullrod or pushrod) they could have had a great looking nose, and maybe less weight at the front, but hey, I am not the designer, and I am sure he knows what he is doing.
 
The low nose has nothing to do with the pullrod front suspension. It's just what they believed to be the best interpretation of the rules. Remember last year (and 2012?), Ferrari also ran pullrod front suspension but their car also featured a high nose at the time.

I meant the suspension design brings the height of the car up, but now thinking, the 2001 Minardi used the same suspension and had one of the lower noses.
