Makes you wonder. Why would I spend all that for one car when I can get a dark grey or lime green GT3 RS and a Frozen Grey/Black Metallic E92 M3 w/ Individual Imola Red interior.

I totally agree. The 458 in person does look like crap. I also saw a new Ferrari California last night at a restaurant. To be honest, it looked very cheesy. I do not like the proportions at all.

New Ferrari's are just being catered to the Miami/Beverly Hills crowd. You go back 20 years, Ferrari's were SPORTY. Now they just look like overly complicated pieces of plastic and fiberglass/carbon and leather. But I do agree that their motors put out amazing harmonics.
