    It looks like Ferrari hit the bullseye with this one. The car looks agressive, yet graceful like all the truly memorable Ferrari. This is indeed the true incarnation of the 246 GT and 308 GTB.

    Let´s see what Lamborghini will make of their Gallardo predecessor.

    ... and in the spirit of true return to form, it looks best in RED (IMHO)!!!!! Can't wait to see one in the flesh. What a great day this is..!

    Finally I am in love with a Ferrari again!!!! I loved the 355, but was always a little put off by the 360 and 430 for some reason. Don't get me wrong, the 360 and 430 and still beautiful cars (especially the Scuderia), but they just didn't have the same passion for me (this is just my humble opinion). The 458, however, is simply gorgeous.

    Congrats Pininfarina, all is right in the world again.

    You may be right, but I was told otherwise by the Ferrari dealer.

    Not to mention test drive the car? Come on! This car has already been put throught the ringer - I'm sure they've figured it out. It's not like the days of the 365 Boxer are still here (which did have a heat problem).

    I love it as well - I gives me something the California didn't give me: goose bumps! One month ago I said my GTC would be my last Ferrari. Now I'm plotting evil schemes to sell my family again... :)

    So - what were you told?

    Get the 458 in the same color blue as your Boxer was born with! We know that color looks great....

    Same feelings here! I have not felt this way since the 355 too.

    This car oozes sexiness and sensualness.

    What does anyone that was hating on the tri-exhaust think of the final product?

    I see a lot of Enzo influence in the profile shot and a lot of Lotus Evora cues in the entire rear end of the car.

    All I was told was less, not an amount. I'm guessing this car will start at $250K.

    I approve. I think it looks fantastic. Much smoother lines and flow than the 430. This is more like it.

    Looks better the second time though :)

    There's a LOT of 246GT in that car, and the front/rear fender line is straight off the 308/328

    Someone order a Pozzi blue one for me with that baseball glove leather, and hang on to it. I'll be around in 2020 to take it off your hands :D

    I had to go back and imagine it... you're right! A Spider will look stunning!

    Anyone care to attempt a quick p-shop? TIA!
