    I thought the official release pictures of the 430 looked good (bear in mind I have NEVER liked the 360 - even to this day - just leaves me cold). But - when I saw the pictures of that yellow one outside the factory posted here - I just thought - yes Ferrari have come good.

    Its the first Ferrari in a loooong time I have liked the look of from the instant I saw it (not a fan of the 360 / 550 era). I know from a looks point of view its a made over 360, but it somehow just looks.... right.

    Showed a couple of car guys at work who don't care much for F cars, and even they said it looked great.

    I have to say im not going to be rushing out to order a 430 . Front is ok, but the back, just cant get used to it, to me it looks untidy. I think my current 360 looks better, and the 360 CS is better again. Obviously it should be a improvment in terms of power and handling, we'll see.
    Glad i put my money down on a DB9 and a Gallardo Barchetta instead of the 430 !

    360CS is in a different league to other 360's , IMO. You defo ain't losing £ on DB9 or Gallardo .

    I thought about getting a 360 CS, but in the end the standard 360 suited my needs much better than a CS. I really wouldnt have got the use out of the CS's benefits.

    I must say, I'm growing to really like this car. Its also effecting my opinion of the 360..... in a positive manner.

    Its like a 360, but more edgy and aggresive! That can only be good. However I think I prefer a 360CS from the rear (at the moment)

    the more i read about the 430 the more I like it. Without going into the handline of it (as everyone drives differently), I think the look is def. an improvement to the 360 (not saying the 360 is bad - its development.). The front end is at first unusual, but then seeing it from all angles gives it the aggresive look. Still not aggresive enough for my liking, needs some rougher angles on it for that, but im sure its an amazing vehicle.

    Wonder what its like on the track compared to the 360CS....

    Lee,

    I went to the last Friday of the Paris motor show to see the F430 (okay, and the lycra-clad models) and then on to the French FOC / Maserati club weekend at Magny Cours for two days, where a couple of F430s were driven on track. The answer to your question is, "probably a tad quicker with the same given driver because of the new E-diff". Compared to any other 360, the answer is, "leaves them for dead".

    I want one now!
