Isn’t it kinda traditional for people to say new Ferrari models are ‘ugly’ and ‘not a Ferrari’?

This is a different kind of ugly.

For previous models, it was the excessive "sportiness" that sometimes made them look like a car from a mecha anime.

Luce's is more of an underwhelmed look, especially with the outstanding interior design it was privileged to have that was (rightfully) overhype over the last few months.

A car with that kind of an interior deserved a much bolder design.

It's like "that's not a real Jeep real Jeeps have..." but for white collar office people.
The new Toyota Prius looks better than this. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but if Ferrari is being outdone on design by a common commuter vehicle it looks terrible.
It's not ugly. It's generic. That's the problem. Ugly can be eye catching. Generic will never be. Ferrari sells eye catching.
