Pretty funny, and not surprising actually.
As for the Renault goes, I think he's pretty much spot on here :
On a racetrack they are ludicrously good fun, with their plastic windows and their roll cages and their raucous engines. But do you have a racetrack? And if you do, would you choose to go round it in a French car with front-wheel drive? No.
Now let the traditional J.C. bashing commence (incompetent, obnoxious and, last but not least, racist).

I have been offered a test drive of the 458
Now I just need to find the time to do it
Also, a test drive on winter tires does not make much sense, does it? I mean, how should one test the qualities of the suspension, steering etc. if the car is equipped with winter tires...

Who said that it is equipped with winter tyres 
I highly doubt it is.
And it will be more of a ''see how the car feels'' , then an extensive test drive. The car belongs to an acquaintance. .

You seem to have nice, warm weather 
Driving a high-performance sports car on summer tires here in Germany at this time of the year would be a form of suicide

Guys a question:
With the 458 black which color for the brake calipers?? And why? Thank you.....
Colour of the calipers? Whatever you like.
With black I would choose yellow, especially with shields at the fenders.

you read my mind Rossi, i was going to write up that same exact combo as a response to berfes question
Re: Rennteam's tribute to the Ferrari 458...lots of photos, videos, etc.
Personally I think red callipers on a black Ferrari rarely looks good. There are simply to many clashing colours with the yellow of the wing shields and the yellow centre caps on the wheels. Red callipers are a fairly common sight on many cars now whereas yellow are still relatively rare. It also depends on what colour interior you choose.
Sometimes less is more and it's worth looking at what the Italians do with the colour you like as they invariably have a great sense of style. The black car at the launch had no shields and silver callipers for example.
Re: Rennteam's tribute to the Ferrari 458...lots of photos, videos, etc.
Porsche don't give a choice of calliper colours. Base models get either unpainted or black callipers depending upon the model range and S and turbo models get red. If carbon ceramic brakes are specified then the callipers are yellow.
Red look fine on a black Porsche or Maserati etc to my eyes as the don't have the very prominent yellow wheel centres or shields on the wings. It's all personal taste so go with whatever you prefer personally as it's your car 
It's possible to change the wheel centres on a Ferrari as they are now offering a range of dealer fit replacement centre caps if you want to keep the number of exterior colours down.
