am i the only one that thinks that the 458 is unattractive at best? i think it'll go down as one ungainly car that stylistically was overdone. do you guys see a reason for those ugly headlights or the weird lines and gaps in the interior dash. seriously less is more.

agree with you 100%. The only Ferrari in 30 years that I don't like. I think they tried to go for "outrageous" and went to far...

I thought so too, that was until I saw it in person. I think it's one of those cars that will grow on you.

I think they really had to advance the styling some, it also has cues off the MilliChilli prototype. I personally think it took some cues from the past and thrust them forward in a refreshing way....is it as organically beautiful as the F430 Scud....no but it is refreshing and purposeful.

Dude, just wait until you DRIVE it. 590bhp!

I've pretty much concluded that Ferrari's press shots and new product introduction images are awful. Don't know why. I had a VERY close look at one recently. Nice, but I'll take a pass. The Stradale is sublime.

I understand what pushed Ferrari to do it, but I don't like it. I bought one of the last F430s instead of waiting a bit to get the Italia because I don't like the exterior or interior styling.

I saw one the other day and it changed my mind - I too thought it was ugly until seeing it roll down the street. Haven't seen the interior in person yet though.

Thumbs up 458

Saw the three at the NA premiere and at the Infineon Challenge race. It looks good in person.

I like the exterior a good amount; the interior is a bit odd to me.

I was a little iffy on the tail lights at first, but the car definitely grew on me and i think it's one of the nicest Ferrari's made in a long time
