    The Pista is the best looking modern Ferrari period.

    Pininfarina lost Ferrari as a client because the 458 design was too soft and unexciting.

    458 and 488 are still nice just not as good looking as F8.

    We think alike. I'm planning to keep my '21 Tributo forever, I have a manual GT3, and want to add an F12/812 :)

    Different strokes for different strokes. Some people like the looks of the 296 which I do not.

    My opinion is honestly the 458,488, and F8 in general are like 95% similar looking which is why I really think they are all incredible looking. Now I love the F8 because it’s my first Ferrari and it’s the newest of the 3 and to me it looks very unique. But had I gotten a pista first, I’m not sure I would have sprung for an F8.

    As far as 296, I think the previous v8 s are all superior in looks. But still the 296 is still growing on me, but not sure I’d keep it long term like I would any one of the v8s.

    I love how people use the word "period" to make it seem as if their opinion is the only one that's correct. I personally believe the F8, 296 and SF90 all look better than the Pista.

    Period.

    I was simply referring to how the car drives. The Pista is lighter than the F8 and more tuned to how I prefer driving a mid-engined Ferrari.

    In terms of pure looks, obviously the SP48 Unica version is the best looking of all variants. It happens to be an F8 underneath.

    I believe that your statement is accurate but has anyone actually weighed a Pista? My F8 Coupe with racing seats and forged alloy came in at a hefty 3450 lb. curb weight, a full 200 lb. heavier than Ferrari's claimed curb weight of 3250.

    For those of you that voted to keep their car; are you purchasing the full extended warranty (2 years extra)?

    I loved my Rosso Corsa F8 with bucket seats very much but traded it in for a Grigio Silverstone Pista. The F8 design is great and it looks fast even in standstill. Some elements are too fussy and the back is a tad too feminine. I wanted a Pista for the better chassis performance in corners, the more aggressive shifts and the more aggressive looks. I tested the 296 on track and through alpine curves. I like the design, the size, and the performance is incredible. I wouldn't buy one though, as I hate batteries. My 308 GTB remains my favourite and will stay with me forever.

    agree- I started a thread a while ago saying F8 and Pista are the best looking Ferraris ever..and I think F8 is the prettiest/sexiest with Pista in second.
