    Hey guys:

    I'm sure this has been asked many times, but I would love to hear everyones thoughts. I'm struggling between Metalic Black, White, or Red. Just tell me what you'd buy between these three???

    Thanks

    I test drove a black last weekend. Think it looks much nicer than red. Haven't seen white in the flesh, but it would be between white and black for me.

    I vote red. I was just at the dealer and saw a nero, a bianco, and a rosso corsa. I liked the rosso the best ... but just about every other one is red. If you wanna be slightly different, I'd probably pick white because I think black hides too many of the curves.

    Have had red 355, stradale and 360
    black 599 and 430
    white scud
    titanium 575M
    and now red 458 which I think is absolutely gorgeous especially in the flesh.
    Try to get a look at the colors you are interested in the flesh.Pictures are very misleading.

    Gone around this circle a few times myself. I am now back to where I started - boring but enduring Rosso Corsa

    Black is gorgeous but hides much of the detail of the lines. Rosso Corsa is classic Ferrari...can't go wrong with Resale Red. But majority of the people get red. I myself went with white (Jan deliv). On the exterior, the same as Joe Mac's buddy Bob. I think the 458 looks its best in white. Just my 2 cents

    I'd choose between Nero Daytona or White.

    If going for white only the Bianco Fuji is the real white (pearl white) to go for. So if that's out of your league, go for the stunning Nero Daytona.

    Can't miss in Rosso Corsa....... White is striking and surprisingly easy to keep clean.......Black makes the lines and angles disappear and is impossible to keep clean.

    With Black, every time you detail it, it looks awesome for less than 5 minutes and then it gets dirty. I swore I would never get another black car because of that alone.

    In the end though, pick what you love and don't worry about the rest:)

    +1 on the black. I usually try to avoid black. I am not into washing and waxing cars everyday so I tend to go for the silver colors. Silver colors hide the swirl marks and dirt. I also think the silver color really shows off the sexy lines of a car like the 458 much better...

    Not my car in the pic but I am seriously considering the same Grigio Titanio.

    I think very dark colors on the 458 are a waste - they hide the awesome lines of the car.

    I'm thinking like a medium to light blue - I think lambo had a color called Ice Blue or something like that...something slightly lighter than a tdf blue. Maybe with a black roof - or silver matte roof. That would be v. cool!

    First of all I want to thank everyone that chimed in. I'm honestly more confused than ever. I love my red 430 more than any car I've ever owned, and to get white or black just to be different doesn't make sense. I even think the yellow and Silverstone look fantastic.

    I'll probably end up with Rosso Corsa, and lots of carbon fibre, if I can keep from changing my mind 10 more times.

    The grass is always greener at the neighbors ;)

    Just take the pick you want because you will need to look at it and of course pay for it. I'd love the Bianco Fuji with red on black interior. Just a preference. Take your pick, even in "standard" red the 458 is drop-dead-gorgeous.
