Don't like the knee pads or the fins but overall I think it looks great. Like the split spokes on the wheels and how they stay thick down to the lip. Standard 458 spokes look like the starfish ones on the 360.
After all the waiting I'm disappointed. No continuity to the design. It doesn't seem to all fit together like the 458 or f12. I like the rear end but the front is a no go. I feel like a passerby will kick those little fins in front of the rear wheels. And the hump on the dash in front of passenger? How is that enhancing the interior design? Not befitting of their most recent strides forward in design.
Had no idea the regular f430 is so quick esp compared to F40/50. I drove one for a while and was sadly underwhelmed and opted not to purchase.
I think the styling is an improvement from the base car overall. The technology they are packaging into it is impressive. There are some unconventional design choices such as the cavallinos on the front and back and the knee pad upholstery on the glove box. It might become clearer over time why it is done this way. At this time, however, I think it would have looked cleaner if they ditched the cavallino in the front and widened the grille on the back so they could put the cavallino on the grille. The "spine" sticking up on the center console containing the reverse button looks interesting. It is in a similar position where you would put the holy sh*t handle for the passenger. It looks beefy enough to resist being torn off but I would have preferred buttons on the center console.

The only thing I would like to adapt my 458 italia from the Speciale is the "duck tail" part which is luckyly a small piece.
It looks great in my eyes! Ok, the rear is not mine, little better than stock 458 but i´m afraid i will never be a fan of the 458 rear... The little winglets look a little bit overdone but the rest is fantastic!
