Tom is right, you got lucky. It was really warm in there and on top of that, parking was a nightmare.

I'm not really crazy about the styling of the 458 from the front especially the headlights. I think they could have done a better job with that. And the floating cavallino down in front, I like that the least. I really do think they should have left that out altogether. I do however LOVE the side/rear three quarters and rear view on this thing.

Here are the pictures that I took
















































Oh BTW, happy belated birthday, PJ.

Awesome pics, Jason, as always! Here is a crappy phone pic of one I spotted in Zurich in April. Driven by a teenager. The car looks much better in person, especially on the street.

With the cover on it, I couldn't help but think of a curvy woman in a spandex dress. lol.

I wrote an article summarizing the technical highlights and included a slideshow from Ferrari media files which include interior pics:

Seattle is ahead of Beverly Hills and Newport Beach Ferrari. Still haven't seen a 458 at either.

They've probably just not had their "launch" parties yet. I saw one owner post pictures of his 458 from Newport Beach Ferrari recently.

Thanks for the pictures. A change to see a modern mid-engine Ferrari without a bunch of side intakes. I'd like to see smoke trails in a wind tunnel to see how the various vents work, like the rear top intakes. Supposedly this takes advantage of any ram air effects.

Hey Tom, do not worry about not making the list. I guess the criteria was to not invite Maserati owners I purchased my Gran Turismo from FMOS and I also missed the short list.

We can wait until one shows up at E@RTC or until Roy gets one for sale
