Am I the only one that really likes the look of these new models?

No. I like them too.
Same taste in cars as you have in films.
The best thing about the cocknose on the McLaren is that it even has a pee hole at the end of it. If the exhaust pipe has a starfish configuration they're going to be the team I support this season.
Dear god these are horrible. I don't even like the livery, just looks the same silver as the Merc. Hope it gets changed before the race.
Boullier is interesting news anyway, not Brawn as I'd hoped but not Sam Michael either so every cloud.

guilty has charged 'cocknose'They look dreadful.
Does make you wonder which eejits actually write the rules that allow (or enforce) these ridiculous things that have been happening lately. Surely it's not hard to do it in conjunction with teams who'll tell you when the whole field are going to end up looking like a bunch of knobs (or a twat in the case of Lotus).
Shame they will be running mid-field at best next season. Boullier gone and 2 horrible drivers.
I dont care what they look like as long as the racing is good.
I like them; new ideas/approaches in design is always good. However Ferrari's could look to be the pick of the bunch if this leak is anything of truth:
They aren't new ideas though, it's just a hodge podge to get around the minimum surface area in that section of the car to maximise airflow under the nose.I like them; new ideas/approaches in design is always good.

New in aesthetics is what i was trying to get at...
Mercedes did a shakedown at Silverstone today and teased it.
Sounds nice.

That nose is ghastly, the worst of the bunch so far
I like the look of the new noses. It just shows how much downforce that they need to create to be able to maximise the raw power from the new engines.
If it were possible for cars to appear mentally retarded, that Ferrari looks like it's got an extra chromosome.
Man alive, when I saw the Ferrari head on I thought they'd gone for a nice normal slope. Then I saw the 3/4 view! fecking beluga whale.
The overall downforce has decreased, the new noses are like that for safety reasons.
I know of the safety aspect but by them allowing air through the nose it will surely increase downforce on the front wing. The turbo on the engine can kick a mighty punch when letting it go.
It's interesting how all four of the new cars revealed so far have drastically different takes for their nose shapes. The development race will be more intense than usual this year as they all try and figure out which configuration is the best. More than the engines, in-season aero development'll be what decides the Championship this year, I reckon.
Nah, it's bad but both the McLaren and Lotus are worse.
The ferrari is by far the nicest looking car of the bunch. Then again, any car in black or red looks spectacular to me
It looks like it's had a shunt in a cartoon and had the nose bent out of shape. Awful. They're all awful. I'm hoping neweys at least made it look like there's a point to it on the red bull. Lotus's is just horrific.
Ah well, hopefully the racing is improved.

God they are awful noses, awful. None the these cars are ever going to be beautiful because of the nose, the Ferrari actually looks great up to the front wheels when it turns into a monstrosity.
If the racing is good, I can live with it but none of these cars are going to be wallpaper fodder.

Very shiny, such silver, much speed, many cock nose.It doesn't look too bad from certain angles.
Sauber C33, looks very nice from this angle!
Wow, easily the nicest looking so far. Livery looks great, too.
Force India at Jerez today
The force india looks great, but I haven't seen the nose yet.
I miss the Jordons, Prosts and BMW Williams. Those cars looked great.

Does this mean that the Williams walrus nose could make a reappearance.
The Jordans were always great looking cars. Arrows had a few nice looking cars as well
agreed. The orange and black looked great... None of the newer cars look that good. The Sauber has a chance though
