    Looks so much better with the top up. But still no beauty.

    Cant wait to see some better wheels on it.

    Thanks, tried my best. Unfortunately don't have much experience with Pshop. Maybe someone else on here can make it look better.

    Nice work. Can you do the same for the photo at the bottom. The front wheel is turned but you could do it straight and it would still look ok.

    Ugh. Too much going on for a body that looks so narrow.

    nice looking shot in blue.
    Challenge rims help tremendously. Hope its an option.

    I agree; it dresses the body quite nicely. It resembles a 599 with the option of a folding hard top. In essence, that is what Ferrari has done. They've sort of offered the 599 with retractable roof without actually doing that outright. The side-by-side comparisons reveal this.

    How there is this ongoing saga of hatred and exaggeration of what it looks like, or doesn't, is somewhat beyond me. If the F149 looks like a Lexus, or whatever else others claim, then the same must be said of the 599 as the two forms are highly similar to each other. From a distance they look nearly the same.

    Really enjoyed the San Fran link and the photos of the blue press car. Thanks!

    Actually, a senior person at my local dealership who has been with the company over 15 years said he really liked the California in this light met blue.

    although that color might look better in person, those pictures lead me to believe its one of the worse choices to select for this car

    Interesting... The license plate area in all the official pictures is black, whereas the grigio ingrid example has a body colored license plate area.

    The body color in this area makes it look big-butted, the black looks better IMHO.

    Will black be a "challenge grill" style option? I wonder what the standard will be....black or body color...
