    Oh boy, if we only had a $1 every time this comes up. If you do a quick search you will find this questions asked and answered almost weekly. It’s been discussed and argued over ad nauseam.

    Both are beautiful designs that serve a different purpose. Pissing matches where one is claimed superior over the other is only done on Internet forums.

    when you go out and meet fellow enthusiasts, Pista guys don’t walk over to F8 guys and say your car is ugly. Mine is destined to be a classic. Yours sucks.

    If you are in the market to buy a Ferrari, you’d be lucky to own either one of these. Congrats and good luck on the hunt.

    This is a fairly radioactive topic that simply isn’t very productive. Entirely subjective. Never ends well.

    I guess a brand new user thought it was a new and unique question/topic that hadn’t been discussed before??

    As a car designer and prospective buyer, he is unsure which car is more aesthetically pleasing. Once he finishes his poll, he will then purchase the model with the most votes?

    Let’s talk about sound! (Kidding, kidding!).

    Pista looks more elegant IMO. F8 is nice, but less classical Ferrari (rear)

    Should I or someone else advise design guy that the rear of the posted car above the F8 is not the Pista.

    Minor detail. Who needs to pay attention to those types of details as a “car designer”?:cool:

    You’re welcome, Ferrari.

    You mean a car designer who moonlights as a business consultant or a business consultant for a car designer?:cool:

    If you ignore the brakes, the lack of low end punch, sticky buttons, and a few other items.......there simply aren't enough platitudes for the 458.
