What is going on with Ferrari?? Over the decades they mastered to integrate the current design trends in their designs, while still keeping their elegance and own design language, having their very own take on these design trends. Now without Pininfarina it goes all downhill very quickly..
The current Mercedes-Benz SL generation has been slowly growing on me at some angles. But the Purespeed (speedster) does not look right with the closed off nose.

I don't think it's a bad looking car. Quite striking look actually.
Most new Mercedes models are pretty good designs. EQ series is horrible though and that new CLA. But the new AMG GT is one of the best looking cars in a long time.
I think it's the same problem Porsche had with the Cayenne when they popped the corporate face on stilts. Next generation will probably get it a bit better.
Short overhangs are good--push the wheels to the corners. They're not what's wrong with it. Also the wheels are stupidly large. Not just wheel diameter to sidewall ratio but overall diameter relative to the silhouette. Yes having larger diameter tires helps ride quality and yes tire technology is better than it was 20 years ago when such short sidewalls meant harsh ride and yes large wheels allow for large brakes...but it looks bad. Shrink the tire diameter an inch and the wheel diameter two, and it improves tremendously.
Edit: I knew it was reminding me of something. The front end is Pepe the frog.
