It's all in how you define "styling exercise" and "design"......

I don't think Mr. Audi thought up the use of a red outline pattern in the
VF.....
But I bet you a Summilux lens cap that Ferrari did think up the Ferrari Logo
badge!

Neither is of use for making an image... at least the photographic kind.....

Hasselblad had a bunch of colored bodies several years ago....  I have never
seen one in use....  They were not badged "Ferrari"....

The Hassy just looks like a paint and badge job, not a styling exercise like
the M9T.
