I'm not denying Ferrari of their performance figures or their history/cache.

I'm just saying if I was able to buy a Ferrari and had the means to pay for it, I wouldn't buy the 458 just because I don't like it's style. Sure the badge might attract women from all over but I'm the one that would live with the purchase and if I can't stand the way it looks it doesn't matter how many beautiful women it brings me. Beautiful women can be persuaded in other ways than just money and cars, at least the ones I car for.

I haven't yet seen one in person so my mind might be changed when I do see one.

Those uneven center 'exhaust' pipes were inspired by it's great grandfather, the F40.
