What a question! I really like my turbo, but I'd cut off your pecker for a 458.

Oh yeah, unless you are already in the 'Ferrari Family', you won't be getting a 458 new unless you are willing to pay probably twice the sticker.

Is this going to be a daily driver? Doesn't sound like it. If it isn't then I'd pick the ferrari.

No reason the 458 can't be a daily driver. People choose not to drive their Ferrari's - not because they can't be.

I'd take the 458 BTW.

I have an order for a 458 with June 2011 delivery promised but drove the Turbo PDK last week and was blown away. I can't afford both and I'm not sure I can wait for the Ferrari, and the Turbo S can be mine in September.

My current cars are LP640, Carrera C2S and S65AMG. One of these would have to go for the next car. The stealth and practicality of the Turbo really appeals.

Thanks for the responses. I'm still not sure what to do.
