Thumbs up Saw my first 458 in person.
Looks great, far better than the pics IMHO. Very organic in appearance, and luckily there was a red 430 right behind it for comparison. Gorgeous car!

Here's a crappy iphone4 pic I snapped. Yellow looks nice on it. Fender gap is huge though, and it needs some darker rims.

Had a chance to see the second 458 in NY a month ago (black one). A beautiful car but the interior just seems kind of "Hyundai-ish".

"Hyndai-ish" ? I think you need to make an appointment to get your eyes checked. A friend of mine just got one all i can say it is stunning in every way. There is no resemblance of a Hyundai anywhere on the car.

I had not thought about that term for the interior, but it is perfect.

Nothing wrong with your eyes! The car is rather well styled outside but the interior is Gaudi interpreted by Hyundia.

I wasn't a big fan the first time I saw the 458's pictures online but once I saw one at our local cars & coffee I fell in love with it.

I honestly was not as impressed... saw a black 458 @ Road Atlanta a few weeks ago, 430 does more for me, maybe it was the color?

I have never loved a ferrari in black and the 458 is still the same case. The yellow looks so much beeter than the black I cant believe it. Just my opinion
