New pictures

One thing about the front whether you like the lot or not, i can't think of a front of a car that says get out of my way more than this one.

 

^ It does look like it's coming to get you!

 

I like the car. I remember hating the 360 at first in pictures then loving it up close. Same thing here. Our eyes are just too used to the 360/430 shapes (and the other competing cars.) Reserve your judgments for the real thing.

 

+1 !! Let´s wait for the real thing !!
I think the car looks agressive !! It will be amazing on the road!!

 

I just think some people doesnt like major changes. Like everything else, Ferrari evolutes. Thats why I dont understand when people that says a new Ferrari model doesnt look like a Ferrari. The 360 doesnt look like a 355, the 599 doesnt look like a 575,the Enzo doesnt look like the f40 and f50 etc...

If you can not accept to see revolution in a Ferrari, then buy a Porsche.

 

I like the car here... http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/3003/15660460.jpg

 

not diggin the head lights!

 

Nothing of the sort. It's just that front end is disturbing. Everything forward of the headlights is just very awkward.

 

That thing does look mean in the second picture. I love this car.

 

It looks like it is really pissed at whoever is in front of it.
Like it's trying to say :"get the f*** out of my way"........

 

Anyways.. Im not worried at all. I dont understand why so many people are making a big deal about the headlights. I personnaly love it.

 

+1. Looks FANTASTIC!

in that pic the car looks hot

 

Is it me or does the front of the 458 remind you of a Hornet insect?

It's not just you

I'm loving the general body shape and design but the front blows it...

thank you for posting!!!! is it me or are those not the wheels seen in all the earlier pics?

 

Thanks, wow I like it!

 

I've been quite vocal about that front end being nothing short of a disaster. But now I've seen these pic I'm thinking "WOW!" Now I'm thinking I gotta get one. Damn!

 

That looks sensational.

 

With the 458 now shaping up to be right out of the ballpark, the current Gallardo looking fantastic, Aston's line up, The Maserati GT, the likes of the Alfa 8C and even Porsche managing to get the 911 back on track after a number of years with the silly 'fried egg' headlights are we in a golden age of the supercar that will be looked back on in years to come as "Those were the days..."?

 

The front looks pretty good to me

I gotta say the lines of the car are absolutely gorgeous. However, the front bumper/hood/headlights just aren't great. Am I going to get one? Absolutely....... and the new scud version when it arrives as well. However, it is more for having the best performance then agreeing with all of the style cues. Engine/Trans on this car is just stupid and after driving the cali I can only imagine how good the new transmission will feel with some more umph. Btw, the new wheels are awful, i hope they give some options.
