I love the 458.
Have any of you guys read the Car of the Year review in Top Gear mag? That's what convinced me.
I think the car may be the best Ferrari has ever made mechanically.
Aesthetics will always be in the eye of the beholder. But you just can't knock the machine from an engineering standpoint.

I'd love that drivetrain in the 360 Modena. Then you'd have the perfect Ferrari. At this point, I'm indifferent to the flappy paddles. I think they're neat and I'd probably get them over a traditional manual trans in this case.

After watching this video it has definitely bumped the 458 up my Favourite car list! Sounds awesome. Can't wait for the Top Gear test of this. What has happened about the MP4-12C? It was launched around the same time as the 458 but there have been no magazines that have driven it yet? Slow production?

I think it looks way better than the 360.

This car is a win for Ferrari. It's looks have grown on me enough to say I really like it, but the performance is where I am absolutely won over. The interior seems to be a step up from previous Ferraris.
