    Looks better. But not awesome IMO.

    It's also missing a picture from the back, which is where it hurts.

    Yes, YES and YES...!!! Great to see pictures of the car (in its best color!) out in the wild. I'm very anxious to see one in person.


    Why do you say that with a frown...? What, in a Hotel in Geneva, could possibly make anyone frown...?

    You'll be disappointed. Just try and imagine it without your Cavallino goggles.

    I was taking a close-up look at the 16M and Scud the other day. The rear end of both cars have a black wire mesh that runs along the side of the rear diffuser and up along the top of the diffuser. I think that it is this styling cue that was being referenced with the Cali rear end black strip and exhaust layout.

    I'm not saying that it works that great aesthetically, but just trying to better understand of the designer's intention.

    I don't think it looks near as good with the top down, the main thing I don't like is the hump behind the seats for the top, 911s have it and I hate it on that car as well.

    I take issue with the design because if the badges were removed, there would be no way to tell the car was a Ferrari. Looks very Japanese. I think the Scud and the 599XX look much more Asian than any prior design from Ferrari. I just don't see 'heritage' or stylistic progression in the Cali.

    Otherwise, pretty car. Can't fault it in those pictures.

    Mates of mine run that website, and they were in Geneva this week for the AutoSalon, so yes that sounds prefectly plausible.
