I agree on modern Ferrari's... The 360 and 550 were the last "pretty" ones and the techno-BS in the 599 and 430 make me sad. The 458 seems to be a step back in the right direction (functional aerodynamic things) but the lack of real manuals has doomed them to me.
Definitely not a Fiero clone! Regardless of the Ferrari influence this thing is drop dead gorgeous!

This was interesting to me.... this one guy spent more in maint. on avg. for one year of ownership for a 550, than our last "new to us" car cost off the lot. Rather, the avg. of what the three owners of car spent since it left the ferrari lot. And that's not including depreciation. It's hard for me to imagine having that kind of money for toys. I still want a 430, though.
