    Once again Ferrari contends that the Cali-T is the reason for their V8 sales gains.

    When will it finally sink in that the Cali-T is a a major HIT for Ferrari and not all the doom and gloom that is regularly reported on this site?

    yes it is a major hit for Ferrari however that still does not mean that everyone is happy about the Turbo fleet of new engines. It marks a major change for a company that made its signature the scream of a flat plane high rev engine.... it is still a great car....

    I certainly understand this but so many people say that the Cali-T is a complete failure for Ferrari when in fact it is a driving force for sales and revenue. The Cali may fail to meet their particular expectations but that not stopping record numbers of people from buying them.

    Top that with a lot a great reviews on the sounds of the 488 from owners and I think this whole thing was a prophecy trying to happen that just didn't.

    We should all jump on the band and rejoice the magnificence of the Cali-T as it is.

    No haters allowed!

    Never driven it but just love the looks - makes the 2010 I used to own look clunky. Personally love the design direction and the performance figures are a big improvement.

    Was not a fan of the 1st gen Cali. But they did a great job beautyfying it with the T. The sound is disappointing for a Ferrari but it is a great car. Not one i lust after however.

    I would Agree I owned two California's the latest being a 2013 which I really liked . I have no issue with the caliT in fact I drove one and it is great much quicker then the old but has a little less pleasent sound would not stop me from buying one just not on my radar right now ..
    I actually would prefer it to the 488 as I like the front engine cars..

    I do get the Cali t often as a loaner from the dealer. I love it! Just wished the suspension was more sportier

    I took delivery of my Cali T in July and I love it. I get more reaction from others on the road than I ever got with my Aston Martins, and they were beautiful automobiles. I love my Cali T.

    Exactly. Not sure how many people will order this extra but they have certainly addressed the desire of some.
