Front is beautiful, I don't care for the back end, looks whimpy to me.

not sure how i feel about the back...think the 458 and 488 were 2 of the nicest rear designs in recent times

My good friend has a Pista and it's pretty bad ass. I can't wait to see what the 'special addition' of F8 will be.

This looks like a nice evolution of the 488. I like the front and side view, not sure about the ass just yet. I need to see more pics for judgement. I like the interior as well, looks a little more modern....I think. I need to hear this car, the 488 I test drove a couple of years ago left me a little dissapointed in the sound and excitement department. Exciting never the less.

458 looking dated.....no way! It’ll be a long time, if ever, that the 458 looks dated. I’m biased though. I also think the 360 still looks beautiful!

Not to worry.

The 458 will always be the most beautiful of the line up. It’s an instant classic.

Looks like the consensus right now on the Ferrari Forums and car forums that the 458 will hold and have an increase again in resale. It seems that as Ferrari keeps going the turbo way, the NA market dries up more and prices are increasing.

Yes....I was keeping up all day yesterday on Ferrari Chat. Some very interesting discussions. My 458 isn’t going anywhere :)

458 488 and new one all look the same I would not be bothered, the 458 will hold value better in 15 years time just ask owners of 993 Porsche's.

Ferrari is all about passion, excitement and extracting everything fibre of emotion out of your body. Nothing at all compares. Period.
The new F8 seems really interesting though, and all the press videos by Ferrari are all about the new sound it generates as the 488 was a flop to many afficionados in Ferrari for anything emotions related.

Passion and soul....that sums up Ferrari nicely!
I agree....the 458 was a modern game changer for Ferrari, and should hold long term value very well!

Yep, I think that the F355 Berlinetta is the prettiest car they've ever made.

My friend had one of the last Testarossas, before it was developed into the 512 - mighty road presence and such a charismatic engine (flat-12).

My friend with all the cars also has an '88 TR that's been fully restored, so I get to drive that when I'm back home.

I can't afford it, but I keep looking at 599s for sale. There is a guy here in Dallas that I met years ago that has a manual 599. He bought it before the manuals skyrocketed in price. I wonder if he still has it.

Here is my dream Ferrari .... 288 GTO >>>

They have incredible designers. They're the best looking of the exotics IMO.

I agree.

I really like McLaren too. But if I ever have a choice, it’s an easy answer.

Always loved Ferrarri. Now more than ever.

Looks good but it seems too early to be pushing out the new model.
The 488 is still new and Pista barely dropped.

I will have one before I get too old, just not a new one. There are a few in my neighborhood, and I get chills every time I hear that exhaust note. My Porsche is a fantastic car, but a Ferrari is a different beast
