F430 Prices to drop like rock

[Kayvan]

New 450 will hasten the F430 price drop...much more than than happened to the F360 given the re-style and instant 'dating' to follow

Im liking it so far, and I am not a big ferrari fan. Cant wait to see more!

 

[Fast Freddy]

i like it

 

[AlohaGT]

Nice lines.

I'm wondering if the rear has an "Enzo" look to it. From what we can see of the tail light it just might.

 

[SYCO GT]

Hmmmmmm. I'll have to see it in the flesh first. Not yet a fan of it.

 

[HHGT]

Hmmmmmm. I'll have to see it in the flesh first. Not yet a fan of it.

Nicer than anything BMW has put out. :wink

 

[Nardo GT]

I like it. Hopefully a roadster version will follow. Now don't blast me for saying this guys......please let the economy stay in the crapper just long enough for me to be able to buy one at dealer invoice. :thumbsup

Also, that is ONE of the great things about the FGT...no more new models to push the value down of used ones. That's why I want another one or two.

Its got some NSX, with a bit of Gallarado on rocker sills & Lotus Evora/Artega too

Guess Ferrari finally is listening to "not gorgeous" criticism since their Acura designer left.

Hope Ferrari hears this critique:

-Snout nostrils need to go; dated 360 flab

-Headlights are struggling: slits fail; look at GT, S7, Vanquish, Murci for cues

-needs to be wider; scale is off

-roof is egg-domed...needs flatness

-hood is duck bill stubby; chicken beak pointy

-Tail looks like its got 90s enzo baggage; give us a kamm or GTO flip-lip after 20 yrs!

-Glass is Artega GT knock-off

-wheels/vents need turbine, fin, blade cues...not exo-skeletal/ribs

-Hips are Beyonce nice

-Less R8/Evo, more Miura/Aston 077

Look to sharks, stingray, cobras, hawks, raptors for raked swept back frames

My take on price floor lows (below) is that purists think the sharp crease/bangle/style transplants on current F-car/Lambos are not timeless but rather gimicks that date easily like the Testarossa/Diablo, and do not command price stability.

hi mileage lows

F430: $115K
F360: $85K
Gallarado: $90K

With more room, it would likely be, "GVS ME WD"

Listed as "entry level" model. I thought they where doing a "dino" model as entry and 450 was next notch up. Would be nice entry model but looks a bit off to be up from there. Kind of Calista Flockhart instead of ..... :lol

 

[STUNTS]

just not sure..... :bored

 

[Jones]

Like Kayvan said...Lambo + NSX....and some Maserati.

Nardo, I don't think you have much to be concerned about the economy turning around anytime soon.

I'm just glad there finally replacing the dated F430 Body. I'd like to see 600 HP in this car.
