I love the flow of this car. It does not look like the Acura concept car to me.
Of course, my new, used Ruf RTurbo with the Nardo 590 engine will be faster - claimed 215 mph top speed, 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, but I will see...

You will simply love the RTurbo. It is a wolf in sheeps clothing! Bring it out to one of the Sunday get togethers so I can drool on it. Congratulations and enjoy!

Wow and I really LOVED the looks of the F430 too... I can see a lot of Enzo and some Gallardo (especially from the top) in this 458... looks stunning and more Super Car Worthy!!
If Lambo can have little Reventons running around Ferrari can have little Enzos running around

I only saw pics from my iPhone yesterday, and was impressed, but not like when i saw the 360 or the 430 for the first time... but viewing these pictures full screen today... I'm blown away, absolutely beautiful... Stunning
I guess Ferrari took what criticism was thrown at the F430 in terms of it not being as "pretty" as previous Ferrari and took a softer (yet more aggressive) approach - Very 360 Modena'ish from the side

Yes the front end looks more Lamborghinish...overall I like the look...and I dont know if its worth 100k more than a LP-560 or the 550-2...

Car looks amazing imho 
Any credence to these rumors that the 458 is going upmarket and will be priced above the California? Anyone spoken to a dealer yet to see what price/markup is going to be like? Not really sure if I could trade the turbo for this but it has me toying with the idea haha...

Not sure what I think of this car. When the 360 and then the 430 were revealed, I was just instantly in love with the looks of the cars. I'm not geting that same vibe from this car. The front just looks a little weird to me and I don't like the Enzo style brake lamps on the rear, IMO they seem out of place with the flow of the rest of the rear end.
I'm sure this car will be a performance monster and that the styling will eventually grow on me but it just doesn't have that instant visual appeal to me that the last few F cars did.

absolutely love the enzo-inspired styling. my new favorite car. unlike the 599 which is still growing on me i instantly love the 458, just like how i loved the 360 and 430 when i first saw them. the performance figures are simply astounding.
