    Kept my beloved 355 Spider for almost six years. Absolutely love it, and sad to see it go. it outlasted my red 360 and black 550, because I adore the character of the thing!

    Got wind of a pre-owned 430 spider on Friday night. By mid afternoon today i finalised a deal, so hope to see it by Tuesday! Can't wait.

    I still haven't seen the car, and wasn't so sure about it when I was told it was blue, but this photo looks pretty good. I think I can live with blue :)

    The rear end is HUGE compared with the 355! I don't understand why is it so large... the Enzo has a 6L V12 and it's behind is much smaller.

    Other than that, the 430 is better in every way. :)

    the 355 is an awesome car, sad to see it go.
    the 430 is like a new beginning, though. good choice.

    wow im impressed, it looks great, and in contrast to the yellow 355 , they compliment each other perfectly, too bad she has to go...

    Congrats on the new car!

    The F430 (and particularly the Spider) is a much better replacement for the 355 than a 360, in my opinion.
