Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 488 GTB

[Clyde Romero (clyderomerof4]

They were asking stupid money for them new and used until the light finally hit them

The cars are reliable shit boxes

It's a 348 with no sound! 

They thought that they could infringe on the Ferrari market back then an failed miserably 

The Japs did not get it 

They think that they can build panache 

They can build a lot of shit but high end sports cars isn't one of them 

They can't do it 

Like kissing your sister 

No feeling 

You get it? 

Period 

They build reliable cars that's it but not sports cars 

For the deep pocket crowd 

Sorry but it is what it is

Buy a F@cken Miata but it's not a Ferrari

Acura thought they could fool the market they failed

There new NSX will go down in flames 

Like said if you have $100k large are you going to buy Japanese ?

Answer me?

We all know the answer it's no!

In victory you deserve Champagne

In defeat you need it!

     

Scars are Tattoos with better stories !

If you follow all the rules

You miss all the fun!

Clyde, what exactly happened to the NSX? Did they all catch fire in GA or something? How did their asses get handed to them? Street racing?

I didn't care for them new but like them now. They are actually more engaging to drive than 99% of new cars available.

OMG you really the the NSX is going to be something

Bottom line if you have $80K plus your really going to drop it on a YANG CAR !

Just look at the GTR shit and what it brings 

Lego styling with lots of horse power !

​The 458 is sympatico?  I think it's impressive from its flattering angles and perspectives, but the headlights are obnoxious and cheap, then it only gets worse in the cabin with painted plastic bits ... I've seen a Speciale with mega-buck DART stripes and laundry list of carbon cabin trim -- it was quite sumptuous, but a jaw-dropping "cottage by the sea" price tag for an already obsolescent vehicle (though with the cachet of perhaps being the swan song of Ferrari naturally aspirated donks.)  Certainly the most appealing view of the 458 to my eye:

Well, who am I to judge, from the front, I just don't see the 458 as distinct (let alone superior) compared to a (forthcoming) NSX.  At least it's not a 612 or a California (gawd awful, both of them, very hard on the eyes and heavy curb weight.)  Hard to comprehend how the 599 (brilliant, if you ask me) can exist, proving ​

Pininfarina

​ can do a car in modern language, yet deliver the 612, which to me looks like a second rate attempt from a first year design student.​

I agree with both of you, mostly.  I think the 328 was too "soft", and the F430 was what the 360 should have been from the start.  That said, like Matt (not to put words in his mouth, er, keyboard, er phonepad...), I find the 458 and the 488 to be beautiful, lithe, and tres TRES sexy, like a hot swimsuit model.  ;-)
