If they were the same price, it would be hard not to chose the Ferrari.

 

lp640 goes for the italia coming in, but if you put over 2000 miles on the italia you wouldnt be able to sell it, while the turbo you can drive with no worries

 

Ferrari,no doubt does have the sexiest curves and an awesome design team
...However, after looking at the 458 on the official site,I can't help think that the front,with the head lights seeming to extend back forever,has the smile of the Joker in the Dark Night
More than ever,i am delighted to have ordered a 997tts cab
To me,no one else has been able to produce a convertible with such understated elegance and performance...

 

wow so many porsche fans going with the 458, it is a super nice ride though.....

 

After seeing a yellow 458 last weekend, I'm completely sold. Now, if you're going to do a lot of tracking it may be very pricey, but if it's a cruiser, daily or weekend, definitely 458. It's looks far better in person, some serious automotive art (and I wasn't sold on the pics alone).

 

Ill take the Turbo S, 458 is UGLY and personally I couldnt see having to wear a little red outfit everytime I drove my car.

 

If you want to go fast and be able to park without too much worry buy the Turbo S.

If you want to pay way over sticker and never be able to park anywhere buy the 458.

 

You forgot POSEUR in the red costume.

 

Looks like the design team recruited Chris Bangle for his "flame surfacing" on the sides. Some weird lines between the wheel wells.

I'm glad I don't like it, because I can't afford it.
I'm waiting on a TTs with PDK.

 

OP here. I've ordered both the TT S and the 458. I refuse to wear a red costume though.

S arrives in 2 weeks and Italia before Xmas.

 

Congrats - you picked two incredible cars.

When you get your Ferrari, just don't let this happen:

^Poor Ferrari. I'm impressed the front flasher still works w/ the bumper hanging off 3 feet.

 

Now there is a Ferrari that the avg man can afford

Wow that would be sick. In Memphis yesterday a 18 car pile up with what appeared to be a fairly new Turbo hit in the rear end totaled no doubt.

 

that sucks big time.....wow......

 

My friend/business partner was going to order a '11 Turbo S but after
visiting a Ferrari dealer, he was sold. He paid 150K more than Turbo S
but he thinks it was money well spent. IMO, 458 in person is just amazing...
