There are some interesting aspects to Lexan and polycarbonate plastic. The degree of polymerization, co-monomer chemistry, use of uV absorbing chromophores can improve unwanted issues such as scratch resistance and yellowing. Usually, both scratches and yellowing are surface changes which can be removed by polishing and other surface treatment. Lexan is several hundred times stronger than glass. So surface manipulation is easy to perform.

While I don't disagree, is this something we really need to deal with on what is supposed to be an "everyday" GT?
Do you really believe that? I tend to agree with the its a fill-in car by Manzoni on the 458 platform crowd. Most don't even like the name and will refer to it as just the F8. All Ferraris are wonderful cars and better in real life (except one particular model) but this car is what it is I'm afraid.

Besides big brother it is the last non electric V8 not sure why this is so hard to understand... of course unless they make a Tributo Speciale. But given v6 is due what is normally mid cycle thats questionable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Most likely the plexiglass is hard coated so can't be worse than the paint on the car for risk of scratching. And like the paint, the "glass" can be polished at regular intervals.
