    I agree with Dan360...this car is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!!! I particularly love how the body line flows from the side vents thru to the rear end.

    If you like it, fine, but the queue for a F149 is one I'm glad I'm not in.

    Wow. Seven pages of bashing.

    I personally love the car. I would not mind having one at all if the opportunity arose.

    I bet it won't be too popular for california-hating Oregonians, however. Just the word 'california' stirs up anger for some.

    With that being said, great looking car all around. Simply wonderful.

    Don't those taillights look a lot like the Lexus SC in how they go up over the trunk?

    Not feeling this car at all. Back looks terrible especially where the convertible folds in on top... too long for the car.

    I need to drive a 288 someday. I love the shape..i still remember being passed by Uderzo's in 1985 when my dad and me were in the BBi going for a Ferrari track day.

    Please post pics of the F40 in HK !! That must be something . I cant wait to see your garage pics with all the ladies parked in :) .

    Enjoy NY !

    I'm not a fan of this design, as it appears in these pics.

    I'll reserve final judgement until I see in person, I thought the 599 was bad in it's initial publicity pictures too but it grew on me the moment I saw it in person.

    I agree with the 8C comment.

    What a mess. Especially around the exhausts, rear too high, stupid looking headlights and grill. But Ferrari isn't the only one losing me on design (Nissan GT-R is perhaps even uglier). I guess I'm an old fashioned guy who loves simple designs.

    I like old cars too but the GT-R and the 149 both appeal to me bigtime

    I'm a little dissapointed though I'm not going to judge it until I see the car in person. But the exhausts - WTF? They are taken straight from a f***ing Lexus. I think the reason I am so dissapointed is because i was looking forward to seeing a modern day homage to the 250 Cali Spider (one of my favorite ever f-cars and IMO the best looking) but this is not worthy of the name. Come on, a whole countdown website was set up to reveal this? I'm disliking it more and more as the day goes on and I think this is a very bad move for Ferrari, though profits will rise considerably so I doubt they will mind.

    Thanks

    Hey-

    You have terrible taste and dont sound too smart either!

    The GT California is going to be a hit and will sell at a premium for at least the first three years.

    All aluminum folding hard top!

    Direct injection meaning better mileage, ability to use lower octane gas, and greater performance

    Better looking than the 612 and 599!

    But I guess these points are totally lost on you.

    I don't think you are a real player in the exotic sports car market by your totally bogus profile.

    I think that's a pretty lame way to look at this.
