    Like to hear initial impressions.
    Also, what variant of 458 are you looking for, and if I can offer a piece of advice, go for racing seats, huge diff in comfort and looks. I owned coupe, spider, Speciale and another spider. First coupe was Daytonas and I never went there again.

    The Panamera Turbo S is really great for a daily. I think you’d be hard pressed to find better value in the $50k range. More than fast enough, sounds good with the factory sports exhaust, Burmester sound system is solid, decent gas mileage, huge tank, enough cargo space for day to day stuff. Has a little turbo lag when not in sport plus mode.

    Keeping an eye out for a spider with the right spec, white with red interior and lot of carbon, def would like the carbon seats. I traded for a Wraith recently and really love driving it though so it’s going to be hard to give that up even for a 458. Obviously they are very different cars but man the Wraith is just so damn smooth and comfortable/luxurious.

    Always wanted one of these, since I find it the most aesthetic of all the cars I’ve seen on the road

    Been having a great time for the last week daily driving it when I don’t have kid pick up

    Xm5 too small.

    I think in SoCal you need a Jeep Wrangler 392 with a Sky One Touch Roof.

    Looks fantastic!
    The urus does fire up pretty soft to be fair. The 392 Jeep is a lot hotter at start for comparison.

    Add sport cats to the Urus and it changes everything in a great way.

    Looks great! What do you think of exhaust noise when it's turned to sport mode while driving?

    My opinion is that it's quite obnoxious and doesn't fit the car. I have a novitec exhaust and cats on my f8, so I am not against noise, but the V exhaust on full blast just doesn't sound right to me. I said this on the escalade forum and got compleatly ridiculed, those guys are very proud of the noise.
