    :) Yes, even I wouldn't lose a 458 in that corner. But you gotta smile at Jeremy's video's. They're a bit of fun. And since it will go nicely with the upcoming 458, I'll buy this video too.

    @Onno, just a small raindance upfront will do, when you take the upcoming 458 out for a nice ride.:D

    I guess it would be pointless to ask what point Jeremy is trying to make with this vid.

    Should've ran it up against something more hideous. The key to making something hideous look good is to put it next to something even more hideous. An Aztec would've been my choice.

    Just had a chance to see FF live and must say I am leaning to liking it now.

    Great Video!!!
    Clarkson is his usual, hilarious self.

    Thanks for posting!

    In the corners it looked to me that the FF squats way down on its outboard front suspension. You can see the difference between the cars' balances best at the turn at around 1:36. I was mildly surprised to see this given its 47-53 front-rear weight distribution. I don't know what percent torque is applied to the front under hard cornering conditions, but it sure looked like there would be some understeer. Yet the driving reports emphasize that there is little or none.

    PS It was not clear that the FF actually went through the puddle. There was heavy editing. It would have been interesting to see.
