My neighbor recently got a 458... and I've spent some time critically looking at it, and it simply isn't a good looking car in my opinion. His previous Ferrari was a Modena, and that was a much better looking car.
I know ultimately there is bragging rights on performance, but 99% of these super cars purchased are NEVER going to set their pretty little tires on a track, where the performance could be enjoyed. So given that the performance difference in acceleration and other factors (not necessarily top speed) I'd tend to judge a supercar I would be plunking my money for as much with my eyes as with the seat of my pants.
I love the car, but frankly it's just not special enough in its aethetic design. The Ferrari might not be everyone cuppa, and Lamborghini is a little older.....but man.....at least both of them LOOK more than a jacked up Exige!
But....to drive no doubt it's great.
