570S vs 458?

[heihei]

Am potentially in the market for a 570S, and the 458 seems an interesting alternative. Have a test drive of the 570S booked and might try to get a drive in a 458, but in the interim, wondered if anyone had thoughts?

Now driven both, and enjoyed the 570S drive more than the 458, although still trying to determine how much of that was down to the 570S drive being on familiar roads and better road conditions (although still not fully dry). 570S seems to get it's power down better than the 458, and the steering flows better. By contrast the 458 feels a "spikier" car to drive. 458 wins soundwise, and certainly from some angles lookswise, and benefits from being slightly smaller.

458 is also now an 'old' model whereas the 570 is brand new and won't be replaced for a few years.

Not sure what difference this makes to a back-to-back comparison?

Maybe I should put an end to this and say I bought a GT4 instead!
