Default Top Gear McLaren MP4-12C vs. Ferrari 458

I saw this last week... on Youtube now... McLaren sure is an engineering masterpiece... although I'd still find the Ferrari the most gorgous car you can buy today!

I absolutely love its interior though, THIS IS HOW 991 interior should have looked like, not a like a Commodore 64 with two zillion buttons! :S

^^^ +1 ^^^

I think Ferrari really got it right with the design of the 458. I think it is one of the best new car designs to come along in years and a serious home run by Ferrari IMHO.

I can't wait to see how Ferrari evolves this design in the future. I think this design could be the greatest Ferrari has unveiled since the 308 design. I hope the 458 concept culminates with an ultimate iconic model in the same way the 308 design reached its pinnacle with the 288 GTO.

while I luv most aspects of 458, the interior, esp the buttons on the wheels, are not to my liking.
This is my fav V8 F car since the 355. The 360 and 430 never looked right.

I'll take either one. I'm not too picky.

BTW the F guys are having a heyday about the media's preference of the F over the M.

Stunning. I'd take either. If I had to chose, 458.
