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!

I hope to one day know that feeling. It must be pretty special.

Congrats on the Ferrari. Which did you buy?
