    I've never much like Ferraris in general and I really didn't like the 360 or 430 but this thing is awesome!

    I love the way this car looks everywhere interior exterior front or rear! #ferrari458italia

    @FrankGrimes: I like it too, all except the headlights, which look like Ferrari is trying to crack the RiceRacer demographic. But even those aren't enough for me to not enjoy the design in a really visceral way. The profile is particularly compelling. #ferrari458italia

    This = lame.

    Now, winching it back, throwing in an old Pinto engine and driving it off the edge, jumping out onto the floor at the last split-second... THEN I woulda been impressed. #detroit

    Odd how a see-through engine cover looks great and cool on a mid-engine car, but looks absolutely dorktacular on a front-engine. Life is funny sometimes. #ferrari458italia

    @Otto Suksumake: There is an excuse in a mid engine car... that rear window, in a front engine there isn't. All the Vette is showing is the engine cover.

    That being said I don't think anyone would say a bad thing about the shaker hoods from the past. Its difference between faking it and being legit. Like dummy hood scoops and brake louvers. #ferrari458italia

    @DoogieFullHouser: Minor point: on the ZR1, as confirmed previously here on Jalopnik, most of what you see in the window is not an engine cover-- it's part of the intake or the turbo, iirc. #ferrari458italia

    For the price of this you could get 384 Ford's new 1993 Tauruses and still have money left over for little tree-shaped air fresheners for each one of them. Is it really that much better than a fleet of Tauruses? #ferrari458italia

    It looks like something out of a video game. Its absolutely gorgeous and cartoonish.

    Its like Jessica Rabbit. You know cartoons aren't hot, but if you had to toss it in one, it'd be Jessica Rabbit.

    Or Daphne from Scooby Doo. Those purple tights made me a man.

    Wait, but what about Wilma Flintstone, I hear you say? The Godmother of hot cartoons? And Lois Griffin, her surrogate granddaughter? And what do all these cartoons have in common?

    Red hair. Like our girl from Maranello here. I'm jealous of the overweight cartoon husband that gets to put this fireheaded beauty to bed every night. #ferrari458italia

    I was really hoping at least one manufacturer...a high-end, supercar manufacturer at the very least...would resist the bumper-to-A-pillar headlight housing look.

    Makes me want a 328 GTSi.

    @ppiddy: You'd think the elevator wouldn't be large enough...

    Though this is the Packard factory, and those were some pretty large/hefty machines.

    I still want to drive one of the late Clippers. Love the tail lights/mini-fins on the '55. #detroit
