I've grown to love it more and more every time I look at it, watch it, or hear it. I desperately hope that this new series of Top Gear coming in the next couple weeks has it on, particularly now that it's being broadcast in high-definition.

It's like a comic-book charicature of a C1.5 Corvette, set in a retrofuturistic fantasy land where men still wear hats and carry briefcases, but they ride a rocket pack to work.
it's a shame that this car won't be offered with a manual transmission, but it sure is gorgeous and the new motor sounds like it's amazing...a 9000 rpm V8, yes please!

As much as I love Ferraris with a classic gated stick, I simply can't picture the 458 with anything other than paddles. It's evolved to the point where they just "fit".

Looks like Ferrari does it again. Styling might be love it or hate it, but I love it.
On second thought, lets not go to The Car Lounge. Tis a silly place. "And this is the Lamborghini Murcialago SV... which is as mad and wonderful as the president of the country where it was made"
You've really got to see it in the metal. I thought it looked unfinished awkward too until I saw it at the Galeria di Ferrari in Maranello last month. I'll whore out some of my pics again.
I swooned.

For the most part. If memory serves, it's also the cucumber capital of Japan. Hence the home-market ads for the FT-86 featuring Takeichi-kun, the cartoon cucumber whose meteoric rise through the underground drift world has shamed him in the eyes of his school-master.

Oddly enough I never fully warmed up to the looks of the F430, though I think that might only be because they look so much better in real life and I'm used to seeing them mainly in pictures. The 458 on the other hand looks amazing in pictures and I bet is stunning in the flesh.

The Ferrari California will be in the new series, in case you're into that....

I need to see it in person, because it sure isn't working in pictures. The person who paired an all tan door-panel with a black dash and carpet should be shot; it looks terrible. Take that powertrain and stuff it in a F355. Then I'll be sold

One of these days I'm going to break my computer screen punching you Corbic.
The front in this shot looks very Porsche-ish to me, not Lambo-ish.
Took the words right out of my mouth!
Okay, my words were going to be: After decades of experience in aerodynamics, and countless hours in the windtunnels, Ferraris start emulating Porsches in front end design.
Cancer: (June 22—July 22) Next week, you will learn the hard way just how important it is to pay attention to the fine print noting that the stunt is being performed by professional drivers on a closed course. -The Onion
