    At first I didn't really like the 458, I preferred the Scud and more so the Scud 16M over it, but after seeing it in person and looking at varying pictures of the 458 it has started to grow on me, especially the side profile. It is so sleek yet simple, but still exotic enough that it will turn heads and people who know nothing about cars knows that it's something special.

    If I could direct your attention to this picture, I think it perfectly accentuates what I am saying.

    I understand what you mean completely. Wasn't completely a fan of it's design and i preferred a scuderia over it. That was until I actually saw one in person and truly appreciated its stunning gorgeous design. The sleek lines on the body definately makes it, in my opinion, the best looking ferrari since the F40. The 458 is a properly gorgeous car and the design will surely become a benchmark for ferrari both scientifically and aesthetically

    The side profile is downright sexy. It evokes the lines of the old Ferrari endurance racers like the P 3/4 while staying modern at the same time. I think Jim Glickenhaus even mentioned that designing the P 4/5 gave Pininfarina a lot of ideas to work on the 458.

    Pininfarina hit out of the ballpark, they'll have a hard time topping this car design wise.
