I'm going to go ahead and have to disagree. The F430 is awesome, but the F458 is superior.

Care to attempt an explanation of why it is aesthetically "superior" that can be objectively understood by others as such?

I agree with Sean. I like the 458 Italia better. The 430 is a beautiful car, but this is the first ferrari that I actually "desired" since I was 8 with a Testerosa poster on my wall.

You and Ron said you like the 458/430 better respectively. That doesn't require backup, it's just a matter of taste and preference. Sean said the 458 is superior. That requires backup.

FTR, I prefer the 458 too. I like the apparently longer more slender proportions, compound curves and more pronounced haunches. It's very feminine in an elegant sort of way to my eye. I don't care fro the rims. I'd like something with a little more substance (actual size) and perhaps complexity. This body also looks good in other colors to my eye, where previous Ferraris really were all about red and maybe black.

I will agree with Sean. The 458 is sex on wheels. I saw a red one at Cars and Coffee a few weeks back.

The 458 has more sexiness, cars with more sexiness are aesthetically superior, thus the 458 is superior. It's irrefutable.

Ben, weld something for me.
