it's funny it's a dirty looking white that appears to have some gray in it. In person not so great imho. plus some stupid $17k add to the car.

I just can't get into the 458... It just doesn't look "Ferrari" to me. Agreed with the comment to take a 599 GTO - much better, esp. for an F1 driver. I wonder what Massa chose.

Ok yea I haven't seen the colour in person so I wouldn't know.
Anyway despite the looks, which need some getting used to, for me there is no doubt this is a much better car than the Gallardo.

I dont like it that much its okay, I will give it a look once they arrive over here. The 458s waiting list over here has only 5 people on the list which is considerably low for a Ferrari compared to the 430 when it arrived people were going crazy over it. The 458 costs nearly 300,000 usd loaded

It will still command a premium at launch, local dealer asking 50 k over to order one.
Performance should be amazing, but the front end and the sci-fi dash are major turn offs to me..

I don't disagree it will be a good car. Ferrari won't dissapoint in the performance aspect I am sure.

To out do a Gallardo doesn't take much. If the prius didn't have those accelaration issues it would be close. They feel the same in corners.

Yea that lack of power in the Prius is a real bitch
No seriously, I haven't read, seen or heard about a single comparison test between a Ferrari and a Lambo where the Lambo came out a winner as far as driving experience was concerned. Sure most Lambos are more beautiful, exotic and powerful, however the Ferrari always comes out the more rewarding and useable car to drive.

What I just said is obviously only based on other people's opinions and not my own experiences.

you've just made your own opinion "most lambos are more beautiful, exotic and powerful"

I respectifully think the exact opposite. well except for the power. they need more power to muddle their POS bodies around at slower speeds while using their HORRIBLE cornering characteristics.... That's not read info just driving feedback. BTW Prius do feel a lot like Murci's in corners.
