More news when?

If I'm reading this counter correctly, it looks like less than a week from now??

 

Gross! Give me a used 360 and used 355 for just a little more money and I'd be much happier.

 

Agreed. Did you get the coupe or the convertible. Both are stunners IMO.

btw: did you check out the 8C's sibling MiTo? (Me, too)~ Italian humor at its best. lol

i have found my next car!!

 

Ferrari was doing perfectly fine financially without the California (because it seems this is what you're going at).

 

Coupe. They're painting it P 4/5 red for me.

 

food for thought:

I'm sure Ferrari was doing fine before the California, but "fine" is a relative term.
Were they doing as "fine" as VAG, or Porsche, or Toyota?
Solvency and having billions to invest in product development are very different things.

 

The styling mixed signals sent by this F149 do not bode well for the 430 replacement either. How many new Ferrari models now have been introduced to a chorus of boos?

I agree. The Lexus SC looks nothing at all like this.

 

...not quite. It's a play on words. In Italian, Mito means myth...but MiTo is also a reference to Milano Torino (Milan Turin) in this case. Milan being Alfa's city and Turin being its parent company's (Fiat) city.

*End Off Topic*

If the California goes from 0-60 in 'less than 4 seconds' with less power than the F430, then I'm guessing that it isn't that heavy...right?

 

It may be destined to be the ultimate trophy wife car but it is not an ugly design by any means.

Ya know...I thought a nice looking set of rims would help me like it more.....but I got nothing.

 

Just impersonal,japanese design,nothing is italian, magic and Ferrari lines.I think the designer don t have seen only once the 250 gt California.It s only a deception,just an up to date object,not a Ferrari for real tifosi with knowledge about the myth.

 

Try some challenge-style rims, I think those might look good on it...

I used to love the 8C...but to me it looks more and more like a caricature as time goes by.

 

Ferrari's vision of the California GT:

 

The exhausts look like the new Lexus IS's.

 

There are tons of cars with horizontal twin exhaust, so either way it's going to resemble something.

 

Oh...right sorry...missed that. I think they like nice on the California (I think they look great on most modern Ferraris in fact)...better than those seen in the official pics.

 

Looks nice. I am sure it should be seen in person to appreciate. Same as the 599.

But I cannot stop thinking of this car when I see the side of the F149.....

And that car was designed for the same buyer...over the hill old farts.
