Further, design isn't everything. Hyundai can design a good looking sports car, but at the end of the day it is still a Hyundai!
There are two schools of thought on this. Enzo always said that 6 cylinder Ferraris will be called "Dinos". But he never said anything about them not being "true" Ferraris. It's the owners of 8 and 12 cylinder Ferraris who most often claim that Dinos aren't real Ferraris.

And if history is any judge, the 246 Dinos are now going for $200k+. I guess they've got enough Ferrari blood for true enthusiasts.

If I had my choice, I'd take a "not real" Ferrari 246 Dino any day over a "real" flat 12 Ferrari Testarossa.
