Default I like a Ferrari

I was out looking at a Maserati for my daily driver today and had the opportunity to see many Ferraris in the same New Jersey showroom.

I know I'm going to get lot's of heat saying this...but the Ferrari is a great looking car. Also, if I ever have a spare few hundred thousand dollars, I'd buy a 430 Spider before a G car. The G car doesn't look half as Italian and nice as the 430 and a few others.

Do I sense a weakening in the force?

Looks good. I think the look will get old too quickly, especially because it looks a lot like the 360 modena. (that one is boring)

And obviously like usual, the quality is probably poorer than Lamborghini. But I guess you have to try it to know.

It is not nearly as cool as a Gallardo spyder.

Nice but no Lambo.

Each car is built on different philosophies.

I've seen a couple of F430 spiders and have to say I like the 360 better- the 430 fender curves are too exagerated, the scoops are too big, and the rear end is too busy. The rear view has a lot in common with the elise although the proportions are all different. I'd rather have 2 lamborghinis than 1 lambo and 1 ferrari

That pic looks like a toy F430. I like the 360 better tho.

Looks like you've been sucked to the darkside....

the 430, although an improvement in the 360, still looks like one....ferrari wasn't ingenious enought to come out with something that different. and all in all, it is still slower than a G...and not a quality of a build. is looking more italian inline with not being progressive in design? cuz if so, then you are right my friend.
