The rivalry between Ferrari and porshce continues as seen in videos. well, they're both getting advanced and sporty as time passes but when it comes to performance i have no doubt, ferrari stands out rather than porsche. On the other hand, it's nice to see Mclaren enters the race track once again after a few months of cool down. Now, he has the most stunning ride ever.Regardless of the racing arena, ferrari and porsche auto parts are facing doom in gloom in the market today because they have only less demand. however, for the next few years, it is expected both auto makers will recover from the doom they are facing in the industry.

@phil:

Thanks for the measured response.

@wittenfrog:

Really, if you are so concerned about the veracity of test outcomes as published by all mags, then don't bother reading them...and perhaps you may wish to think about refraining from posting challenges that border on trolling.

@phil

No need to be so defensive.

"But if you look at what our peers on other mags and TV shows have said, perhaps all these experts coming up with the same conclusion might give our verdict some semblance of credibility. But hey, don't feel you have to respect the opinion of all these experienced people who’ve actually driven the cars, it’s your call...!"
 

Whilst running with the herd suits sheep its no guarantee of veracity!   Which of your "peers'" judgemt are you asking me to respect?  "Smoking" Jezza Clarkson perhaps?  As someone points out in another thread, millions buy the Sun, Audi is an incredibly sucessful brand.....

I'd also avoid the rather snidey parting-shot in future - in terms of buying your magazine, and hence your job, it really is our call....

However, to the substance of your riposte.   I think you have rather mistaken the points many of us are making.  You prefer the Ferrari, that's your call, and so be it.     I have no qualms at all about your opinion, nor about how you arrived at it.  What it tells me is that you are a fan of the Ferrari.  What does bother me, and this is my objection to the almost universal similarity of all the journalist's opinions, are the criteria by which you all arrive at the conclusion.

It is my view that you have all (largely unknowingly) set up a test to find the "best" Ferrari  458.  No surprises, then, at the winner.

I agree that nobody with £200k to spend on a toy will be forced into the indignity and inconvenience of using a Supercar as a daily driver, and that the manifest irritations of ownership can be weighed off against the pleasures.   There is though an outside possibility that (rich fashionistas aside) many people in this category will enjoy the McLaren's intelligence and civilisation more than the Ferrai's supposed 'passion' and 'liveliness'.     Those are two key terms that constantly crop-up, but which were historically excuses used to justify Ferrari's shoddy build quality & reliability....
