No, not the 458 Italia ( :P... :D... ;) )

The, 'big butt' equipped Ferrari California. ::)

I hate the giant ass this car has in order to fit the folding hardtop, and the body line is just way too low. You almost have to be 4 foot tall to comfortably open the doors. ::)

Most sports cars have a low body line & were never the easiest to get in or out of. It's fine once you're in though.

I must admit that this is not the nicest looking Ferrari I've ever seen. It was obviously designed for the American market. ;)

Most are low, but this one is really low.  The door handle on this car is about level with my knees. :o
The lowest one I've ever owned was a 1984 RX-7, the body line was at my pelvis, and the roof line was even with my chest.  Hard to get in & out of, but a real joy once you're in it. 8-)

  If this is what Maranello thinks Americans want, I may have to move. :-[

[color=#000000]Nice edit. But I too, an a non-fan of big wheels. As to being low, though not nearly as bad as the Ferrari, my '01 Z28 has become a real pain for me to get in and out. To begin with, I'm 6'3" and 290 lbs. And my arthritic, herniated disc back has gotten a lot worse over the last couple of years. Yes, it's fine once in, but getting in and out has become a real uncomfortable chore. Having said all that, it has not gotten bad enough for me to consider trading it in yet.
