I personally think it's THEEEEEEEE best looking F-car to date.

+1, and I bet it doesn't depreciate as fast as a BMW, assuming you pay MSRP.

I guess the triple tailpipe thing will have to grow on me.

I read quite a little "tongue in cheek"(?) piece somewhere wherein the author outlined just HOW that 3 tip setup came to be...and the bottom line on the whole thing was it was done simply because it HADN'T been done before! :lol

Nose job'ed 430.

Dont like it...to gimicky...will age and be dated soon.

Its funny they abandon every feature of past models

-The dual-snout is out for single wider open grill
-The rear overhang is excessive and scale & slope of glass off
-The rear looks like a bi-plane with california knock off lights
-ample use of winglets, body kitting and flaring

Any angle that is nice look lifted from other cars.

When I do a car-fax on all the 360 and even some 430 for sale...I continually see 3-6 owners.

Why is that?

AAAAAAAAAAH! HERE'S where Ferrari got the idea for 3 EXHAUST TIPS! They figgered if 3 air scoops on the hood of this'n' was kool - 3 exhaust tips on the 458 would be just as kool...

BTW...if that's a Ferrari...what's with the "Masserati" grille emblem??? Where's the horsie?

made me curious. its an independent coach builder, using the 599 chasis to build this car. too bad ferrari has yet to build another 250 gto.

[Chris A.]

Damn I like this thing too!

Yup. It looks interesting for a minute because they sexed up the profile, but this car will not age well, and the front and the back both border on disastrous. It's very Japanese. Ken Okuyama did the Enzo, the early 90's Camaro, and the NSX. He's gone now, but there's elements of all three in this thing (which may make you say 'yikes').

That said, I'm sure it will be an absolutely phenomenal car to drive.

I think the side view of the 458 is quite nice. I can't get over the rear tail lights. That being said, I certainly wouldn't mind having one for a while.
