it looks just like a 240z from the front and carries a similar roofline
...and Toyota's 2000GT (who's design was heavily based on that of the XKE):

it also reminds me very much of Jaguar's XKE:

My personal favorite is the 250 SWB then F40 then 288 GTO. I have become a bit disappointed in the modern day Ferrari models.
Let me try to explain: I have recently helped a close friend buy a 430Scud and another friend a Ferrari California. I drove the California the day he bought it. I just drove it again 2 days ago. I was very underwhelmed with the California. The steering is light with very poor feedback, the suspension is soft. It truely is meant for guys who want to buy a Ferrari but have no interest in their track history or anything related to track use. Truely a watered down GT car. Now don't get me wrong - The DCT is awesome. It does everything like it supposed to. The Nav and I-pod work great. But it truely isn't a car I would ever buy. You get the idea. I have been surfing Fchat quite a bit while searching for these 2 cars. It has made me realize that I either want a Ferrari race car(360/430 challenge) or want an older Ferrari. The Scud might be the best since you can drive it on the street. But I really want an older Ferrari. Unfortunately you get all the headaches that come with that too. Plus you can't really drive them like modern cars.
The most important thing I have learned is that the sports cars I have a pretty darn good. A valuable lesson since I am ALWAYS jonesing for my next car.

Personally, I think this blows all of those older cars out of the water:
