$375K...not that it really matters (http://www.lexus.com/LFA/).

even having the driven the LFA, if I was in the position to buy one I would have to seriously consider (and drive) a 458. And given the cost difference combined with the thrill of owning and driving a Ferrari, I have a feeling I would probably decide on the Ferrari. Not to mention, I prefer the looks of the 458 greatly over the LFA.

Through Ferrari's incredible design team, the hardtop Spyder should suffer minimal performance loss compared to the coupe. Weight differences have been minimized and the structural integrity of the Spyder is nothing short of amazing.

Werd. The reviews of the 458 are spectacular. The vehicle is a driver-oriented game changer. Ferrari brought an RPG to a gun fight. It will be interesting to see a head to head comparison with the Aventador.

most reviews have said the 458 is, pretty much, perfect.

Perhaps. But, Jon Olsson is one of those guys who gets the most out of his cars & uses the pod because he knows the car can get to where he needs to. I believe he's been a big fan of Lamborghinis due to their AWD. Besides the Gallardo, he's also used a LP640 & still has this SV to transport his skis.

Again, why should he? It's there for a reason & at the least the car is used instead of sitting in some playboy's garage.

Edit* Looks like Jon has bought the LP560-4 to use whilst he waits for his Aventador.
Also seems like Jon had a GT-R for some time as well.
