Looks a LOT better in black!

To the people voicing opinions that this car isn't as "good" as the F430:

What kind of idiocy is this? The car's not even out yet - it's not been reviewed or driven by road testers outside of Lamborghini, so how can you make these ridiculous comments?

Yes, it has been said that the "standard" F430 is more involving than the standard Gallardo, and that the Scuderia is more involving than the Superleggera, but this is a new car...so the only sensible thing to do is reserve judgement on all but the looks and the technical specification.

IMO this is as stupid as when the Alfa 8C was voted "UCP COTY" before the first deliveries had even been made.

Personally, this car's looks have taken oooh, about 0.02 of a second to grow on me. I like it a lot. Now where's that comparison with the Scuderia?

EDIT: I think I know why this car appears to "look better" in black - dark colours make things look smaller and more compact because they reflect less light back at you - white makes this car look too large and too heavy from the rear (judging by the photos) - the original Gallardo and Spyder look fantastic in white, though. I would however like to see an LP560 in white on the road, to make sure I'm not missing something.

Another Italian car that appears to look far better in dark colours is the new Maserati Granturismo - compare the original press photos (silver) with those of the new "S" version (in black) and the car suddenly looks 100% sexier.

When did that happen? The GT3 won last year and teh R8 this year pending a revote.

Besides, haven't people already reviewed the Alfa?

And what's wrong with voting on a car solely on it's looks?

EDIT: After looking into it, I came up with this: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum...t-1st-2nd.html - The Alfa has one more vote than the GT3 My point still stands though. - It hadn't been driven or reviewed by anyone outside the company and yet it was considered for COTY. I wouldn't mind, but it could've been in the next year's if we used our brains and actually considered the launch date/the reviews on said car.

That's what the "Automotive Photo Comps" are for...

[Ferrer]

And it's not on looks only. It's the first rear drive Alfa in years and it has a great V8. That surely has to count as well...

but you couldn't know if it was so good before of its release...
btw, i like the 8C, and i was scared by all of these attention and expectations it was creating...because they were totally abstract. no facts to assure them.

For some reason, I remember checking that thread and seeing that the GT3 had won. My memory failed me yet again.

And that's about all it has going for it since it's ungodly overpriced car.

Lies.

[Ferrer]

And so what if it's overpirced. So's the Reventon and it's no less great for that.

(And we are going very off topic)

No worries - It happens to us all and I actually believed you for a minute until I went and found the thread again!

Just to make my point clear: I'm in no doubt now that the 8C is a very good car, but before a car's launched all you can do is hope - you can't be certain there wont be a "fly in the ointment".

The other thing to consider in this particular case though is, and I'm sorry if I'm about to sound like a Porsche bore, that the 997 GT3 is phenomenal at what it does...

Well not really, we are comparing cars... I don't see the usual off-topic crap (lolcat pictures etc.)

Back on topic, overpriced is cheap for such an awesome car.

I think the phrase you're looking for is: "You can't put a price on style."
