    I didn't ask much, I wasn't too interested. They were fairly certain about the 4 year run and no special edition though. They also gave me an idea of price point.

    A google search would've given you just as much, if not more, which is where they get their early info. Nothing official comes from a manufacturer very early for obvious reasons.

    Manufacturers always keep model upgrades or new model introductions very secretive for obvious reasons. They know well that the introduction of a new model or an upgrade to an existing model will dampen sales on current cars.

    Right, but in this case they want orders for the new car. It's not that big of a deal as there isn't much hype around the F8.

    That is because the F8 should have followed the 488 and the last of this series should have been the Pista. Going from a Pista to the F8 is step backward.

    I believe the F8 will be a great car though. I actually like the way it looks as opposed to others who have been so critical.

    It will be interesting to see how things shake out as it will come in about 100k less than the Pista but have similar performance and all new interior. I just sold my 720s and to date haven't taken the 720 Spider I ordered so I'm looking for something fun now. The dealer got a bit cocky so I walked. Im letting them sweat it out.

    Hopefully the F8 will elevate the thrill factor over the 488. It will clearly be faster but more compelling driving dynamics for me is essential.

    Hard to beat the Perf - you may be tainted for a while.
