The F8 must be a kick in the teeth to 488 owners, what's it been 4 years and it's superceded? Feels like they knew they couldn't get another 4 years out of the 488 so have just done the minimum amount to say it's a 'new' model while they delay the hybrid successor.
328 - 1985-89
348 - 1989-95
355 - 1995-99
360 - 2000-04
430 - 2005-09
458 - 2009-15
488 - 2015-19
So it's not as if the 488 was massively short-lived in comparison to previous models If anything, it's that the 458 was freakishly long-lived compared with the others!
