Three Wheelin'
I feel very wrong about trading the 458.....I'm not quite yet in love with the Lusso but it's growing on me the more I research it.....there are very few cars out there IMO that are visually as beautiful as the 458....I know it's the "right" decision for my situation.....over the years I've gotten a ton of enjoyment with Ferrari ownership....I know I would be able to have even more of that with a 2 + 2.....I just need to get over some mental humps....

Why not get a Turbo S
It's a luxury sports car with 2+2 seating and insane power. Having a GT3 RS along with a Turbo S is a nice combo. You can select PTS and Cxx options to really personalize the build. The Porsche reliability factor is also nice piece of mind.

It is a great car but I'm holding out to going back to a turbocharged engine for as long as I can.....eventually I think there will be few if any NA options left....My GTR's were great cars but after awhile kinda boring to drive....

Granted I'm a bit behind you (8 month old for now), do have a friend that had '13 FF for around town with his 7 yr boy, 4 yr girl. The 4yr old over time wouldn't go in the FF, apparently too loud and clunky sounding back there ha. If possible, make sure your kids are the types to be ok with that, easier said than done without long-term exposure. After inspecting a local Lusso, considerably more refined interior. Fit and finish really felt like the price point. Did not drive, but apparently a much quieter/comfortable ride vs FF, and of course a beautiful scream under WOT. As you already know, buying one new, expect to get crushed in first 2 years w/~7k daily miles (~$130k+ hit?). I'd personally buy lightly used Lusso if it's a toy that you're unsure of. You're definitely in a dilemma one can appreciate, esp the timing, as the Lusso will be relative no-brainer in a yr. Incoming 991.2 GT3 will be Dad's "alone" time car, and still don't mind taking daughter around town in convenient land yacht LX570...for now. But often think what in-between'er a few yrs from now? For our age bracket (30-45) with very young children, I just don't know how guys with multiple hobbies/demanding job have any time to have a stable more than one dedicated sports car. Barely have enough time to fit in a few 45-min driving range sessions/wk. Starts making sense once the kids become more independent or teens where they want f'all to do with us.

If you don't want turbo. GT4lusso is a great car. I have 2 ferrari's and don't want another so I picked up a trackhawk with rear entertainment to haul the kids around. LOVE IT!

Buy my FF - msrp 419k most if not all the depreciation is gone.
Owe 170k will sell it for 165k over take over lease payments it has a little over 5k miles dealer offered 155 but the car I wanted to trade sold due to my slow trigger finger.
It's the nicest FF IMO ever built and ridiculous high spec. Upgraded leather everywhere triple layer paint in perfect condition just serviced new tires.
