    I sold my Cali and bought a 2010 599 HGTE as a replacemnt. I am to say the least a little excited. The Cali is a great car, but. I will take some pictures tomorrow and post them.

    Congratulations! I am sure you will be very happy with the HGTE, as nice as the Cali is there is nothing quite like a V12.

    Very nice. The HGTE wheels look great with that paint and the yellow calipers. What color is that interior? Sort of looks chocolate.

    Great looking HGTE. Love the quilted rear shelf and all the carbon. Tell us your thoughts in comparison to the Cali.

    599 is the fastest feeling car i ever owned, my non-HGTE equipped car was too fast for me!

    The interior is Iroko. The car was ordered with a Maserati color, Grigio Granito, for the exterior. Diamond stitch on rear wall, shelf and headliner. Seats were also ordered with leather inserts instead of the normal Alcantara. Hi-Fi radio, IPod and other normal options. The color combination is truly stunning. I will post some better pictures, too dark when I took the last ones.

    GD- Paint is too pretty to be black, and gray granite is a great name in English or Italian. Someone really spent some money on the car. That out of range paint is very expensive. Not fond of Alcantara, so the person who ordered its tastes match mine.

    I agree Taz. All the cars I looked at had Alcantara inserts on the seats and I prefer leather. When I say this one I was hooked.

    Love the interior, congrats!

    For some reason, I don't like the HGTE wheels, IMO, they don't fit the 599. :eek:

    Enjoy it! :)

    Fab car GD, congrats.

    I'm on the hunt myself. Agree with agup48 though. I want an HGTE but prefer the standard 599 wheels. This worse than my wife over shoes!

    Do not forget, those wheels are wider in the front (8.5Jx20 vs 8Jx20) and lighter weight than the Challenge/monolithic wheels. Plus, you will not see them on any V8s.

    I do not know if it has sold yet, but their was an 10 HGTE black on black, about 2000 miles and in as New condition for sale. The owner also had the Challenge wheels put on it. If you are interested I will look to see if I have still have his number. Car could be bought for $250K.
