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 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.

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.

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 front is very Lamborghini-esque. The side profile is pure Ferrari.

Commenting that a Ferrari has front overhang is like commenting that there are clouds in the sky.

I need to see it in person, because it sure isn't working in pictures.

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.
