seems like he's not so conviced,
his text doesn't come fluidly,
like if he's not sure
I kind of like the new stallion
and am glad for one of my friends
that it is a completely new car
his F430 won't look out-dated, just different

I have begun to read the reviews of the new 458 like many here. In my mind the 458 and the improvements to the car are being driven to some extent from cars like the audi r8. The original Acura NSX was touted as a car you could drive and live with daily, but the NSX never really had enough horsepower to get Ferrari's attention.The new r8 v10 most certaintly has enough horsepower to get Ferrari's attention, and then theres the interior and creature comforts that Audi has become so good at,as well reliability.
The new Ferrari California simular in the fact that Mercedes has some pretty powerful, confortable AMG roadsters on the market as well as the new gullwing coming.For Ferrari fans the competition should be great news as Ferrari will have to compete with other brands for their market share, hence better cars with attention to all the details, not just the engineering or performance details. Sounds like the 458 could be driven daily unlike most of Ferrari's previous offerings.
I think regardless of price range your shopping in, its a great time to be a car enthusiast because nothing is held back while competing for market share in a tough economy.A Ferrari you could drive daily, a $275,000 Alfa, a 4 door 500 plus horsepower Porsche sedan, yet a new Jaguar sedan arriving that undercuts the competition handily. Mini's with added horsepwer to compete with the European Ford Focus, new Fiats...it is a brave new automotive world... Fisker Karma anybody?
I could be interested in visiting a Ferrari dealer soon if you could actually find a 458 or california at sticker.Then again possibly an aero ss...with the right transmission.So many choices...

It looks rather good from the limited view we get in the "super-dynamic" videos. It looks like they are still well in touch with their "mojo" and long may it continue.

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Did Schuey every talk fluidly?!!! Like the looks, sure it will be great but doesn't float my boat really. Still like all Ferraris pictures rarely do them justice and it really takes standing next to a real one for me to tell whether I like it....
