...there is a photo-shoot of the new California on Telegraph hill (Green and Montgomery)...
California blue ... guarded by cops and Ferrari-peeps.

did not have a camera this morning on my way to work.
I asked a neighbor to go and take pictures...
so, I hope I get some picture proof later....
Cheers!

God DAMN it's ugly

I want aggresive styling, not hair styling.

awesome spotting for an ugly car.

i think yall just love to bash on the new ferrari. Yeah, its new and different. What would make you happy, remaking a 275? I think it looks pretty cool, and even though its popular to say you hate it and its ugly right now, I bet when you see one youll feel a bit differently

Thanks for posting... looking forward to seeing this car in person.
Regarding it's looks, IMO the jury is still out.

I know Napolis wouldn't insult Ferrari or PF, but he would be a nice one to take pallet in hand: the CA needs some help.

What was the purpose of the car appearence?

**david1175** · #15 07-18-2008, 06:23 PM

It really is a feminine looking car

Almost loos like a "modified" Miata or mini Corvette...How much is that "thing" again?
IMO, that car will suck the soul from Ferrari's legacy.

**ryalex** · #16 07-18-2008, 06:36 PM

I actually like the nose end of the car, 10x better than the blah blah 612.

Really, this car is an SL and Bentley GTC competitor. That said, I think the price ended up on the high side - if I were Ferrari I would uncap production on this model (projecting 10k units+), sell it at $165k (or whatever is the price of the SL65), and roll in the bales of money.

I'm just sorry: see to much of a BMW Z4, and for that price would like more than the excellent internals: PF missed this one. They missed being a leader not a copier.

Agree w/ Rik, forgot about the Z4 (easy mistake)
Almost seems as though it should be in the $135-$155k range like the Aston Martin Vantage conv., although the AM is MUCH better looking

Who'd have guessed that a Ferrari would get a Bangle Butt?

some more pix...

interesting was the "camera arm" that was mounted onto the car... (see close-ups...)

...so wherever they bring the car they will be able to take pictures from the exact same angle and position in relation to the car...
