Found these in my garage club...

The new 458 looks better in photos than in person !

Its really a tarted up 430....from back its a schizophrenic confusion. Its looks are still insect or reptillian stillborn.


The GT is pure beauty....that Black one is still in plastic...was local dealers Toy never sold, registered.

Really? No comparison of a 430 to the 458. The performance is staggeringly different! The front wing that changes shape at speed. The transmission. The power from the engine. The look is cooler than the 430. The front air intakes of the 430 have always looked disproportional. The front lights are look way better. The body is way more curvy and flowing in the 458. Red is not its color in my opion, the 458 looks stunning in blue. Sorry I must disagree with you.

The GT still looks more visceral and purpose built and is exploding with personality and presence.

How does a garage club work? I assume you pay a fee to store the car and have someone look after it.

I would expect to see more car covers! Especially with the, assumed, movement of vehicles around you constantly.

458 > 430 for sure. No argument from me.

Cars never move...owners just leave. Sad but true part of east coast collectors

Supposedly has dust extractors

I'm biased. Based on looks the 360 CS looks better than both the 430 and the 458. Sure the performance of every successive F-car will beat the last model, but if the looks don't talk to me I ain't interested. Went to the local Ferrari dealership yesterday and looked at a couple of preowned 458's. The rear of the car and the location of the air intakes do nothing for me, not to mention the headlight design. Car is a performance world beater but emotionally does nothing for me. BTW, since I'm "in the club" as a F-car owner they were willing to sell me a 1000 mi preowned 458 for about 30K over sticker. I always snap back to reality when I go to the garage and look at my GT's.

My favorite modern Fcar, for sure.

Our FL dealer is offering lightly used ones at about $20k over MSRP. At $20 under MSRP, might be more interesting.

Is the 458 going topless, and if so when? That might reduce prices a bit.

Looks are a matter of opinion. The 458 is quicker than anything in its class on the track. It even beat the new McLaren by quite a comfortable margin in EVO test. The 458 is quite a stunning achievement.
