    This guy is pretty good. He gets to the point and really gets you involved and actually speaks coherently (unlike Clarkson or Motor Trend). I like how he breaks down what's important... like how the engine, transmission, steering and handling all respond and whether its actually fun or too much work or too removed from the driver.

    Now if he would review some regular sports cars and give a poor-man's take that would be interesting. #ferrari458italia

    @jackgalusha: Kind of a lame comparison though. Is the most expensive Porsche ever faster than the Z06? Sure. It would be more interesting to see the still much cheaper ZR1. If we are to compare apples with oranges, let's at least use the best apple. #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

    Love this machine, can't wait to see Top Gear putting it against the new McLaren.

    at £197,000, it'd better be all things to all people.

    i think that aesthetically, it's the worst ferrari in production today, it has an identity crisis and a bit too much lamborghini design language if you ask me, but in terms of performance, it's definitely an awesome car. #ferrari458italia

    @rimplestultskin, macberry fanboy: Long narrow headlamps like the Gallardo, or like the Enzo that came out a year earlier? Or like the 7th gen Celica that came out 2 years before that?

    And LEDs? They're turn signals (as far as I can determine). Why would they not use LEDs there? #ferrari458italia

    @area_educator: the enzo's headlamps aren't as elongated as the ones on the 458 and the gallardo. and the celica's headlamps weren't that narrow. and when i look at the car head-on, or directly at the rear, it doesn't look at all like a typical ferrari.

    and the rear grilles next to the taillamps look decidedly better on a yellow car than they do on a red car (they look awful on a red car), from the pictures i've seen, which is another lamborghini trait.

    also, i think the 458 must have been designed entirely from a three-quarters view, because on an angle, it looks great, but head-on, it looks awful, kind of like a half-alligator half-human child staring at you with an awkward smile that's about to give way to crying. and pininfarina's designers haven't made that kind of work on any ferrari before this one. #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

    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

    Why is it that every time a high end car get mashed, all of the people yelling about "rich idiots" that "can't drive" come out of the woodwork.
    Even if it happens on a race track, same reaction. I know its envy, but it bothers me.

    I plan on being really rich at some point (just not right now, I'm too busy) I will then buy a really fast, really expensive car. I fully anticipate sliding it sideways into something within several days of owning it. That just seems like something I'd do.

    It really puts a wet towel on my "get rich fantasy" when I wad up my super car, come home, check Jalopnik and see a photo of me looking like the SLR guy in post entitled "Doogie You're an Asshat that Can't Drive"... I'm salty with you guys for ruining my dreams.

    Then again, maybe that's how I'll know when I've made it big. "Certified Douche by Jalopnik" has a nice ring to it. #celebrities
