    I think the rear will look 10x better with a Challenge grille on it. The metal area on the rear grille just looks too large to me. Gorgeous car, I look forward to seeing one in person.

    This thread is a perfect example of how 1 size does not fit all. For those of you that do not like it, THANK YOU! That will make it just a bit easier for me to get one. Make mine Pozzi/Marrone with a few litttle treats for the interior. If I have to buy a Cali to get one, OK, my wife needs a new car.

    That looks great. Is painting the roof a contrasting color something that you can order straight from the factory?

    We've seen it, minus the bits I don't like, and I do like it. The Ginza-Ginzo taillights and the Hentai headlights are hideous, but seeing as how their current new car market is East Asia and 20-know-nothing Western Trustafarians it's much better than could be expected.

    Gotta love the engine, and 3200lb weight - if even nearly true.

    They ignored the opportunity to progress the brand by reducing both displacement and mass, but "gotta' dance with the rubes that brung ya'" ...I suppose.

    Wait a minute...

    What's with the three tailpipes: Center one a fake so the guys in the Civic Type-Rs think you have a turbo?

    So, you're a racist AND riddled with jealousy?

    Easy on the insults. If you don't like growth in emerging markets like Asia, you're probably not going to make enough to afford this. For those who do and appreciate forward-thinking design, this is simply a beautiful machine. No need to put a racial component on it or suggest that buyers don't earn their money.

    No Opus.

    "What's with?" You mean, you want someone to actually explain something to you?

    For one, it's a tribute to the F40. I know, you hate the F40 too but let's just give us a break on that one, OK?

    Secondly, the 2 outer pipes work at low RPM while the 3rd opens up at high.

    Like the rest of the car, it's extremely clever. But then, you hate everything so your comment can be excused.

    Is Ferrari going 'in house' with their future designs? The 458's exterior was styled by Pininfarina but no person seems to be taking credit for the design. Sure would like to have 'that' napkin autographed. However the interior design was handled by Ferrari's design chief Donato Coco.

    You are so tiresome.

    " Hate the F40"? Why would you even pretend?

    The car looks great in the Azzuro Blue. Better for the lines imho.

    The only angle I am not sure about is the front 3/4 view. That being said, you don't get depth, width, etc. from pictures, and like the California, I am sure it will look much better in person. (In the Californias case, as long as its in a darker color.. or white). :)

    Stop bloody projecting.

    If you don't know where the Enzo lights arise from say so, if you don't know what the Ginza is/looks like - look it up, can we then presume what ruffled your hem was Hentai?

    If you don't who's buying new these days that's researchable as well.
