    Then you would indeed have a LaGaliforniaTT... or LaGaliTT for short.

    Please post some pics when you get her. :cool:

    From head-on, the new Cali resembles a 612. The crease line running down along the front fenders and through the headlights lend to the pontoon look. The way that line continues to flow down to the grill is very Scaglietti like as well.

    That must be the Pininfarina influence.

    Pininfarina did not design this car, this is inside Ferrari now

    But the car does not wear a PF badge that I can see. Is this C&D inventing news or did PF really have a dominant role in this design.

    What I read was that the design was done in-house with input from PF

    That would make sense to me as the outgoing car was designed by Pininfarina and the California T is not a radical redesign.

    So from a design standpoint it's essentially still Pininfarina DNA, even if the modifications were made in-house. The presence/absence of a Pininfarina badge is confirmation of which design house is taking credit for the work.

    In reading the C&D article, I think people should take it with a pinch of salt.

    The LaFerrari was also described as having PF input. That can mean anything from a couple of phone calls to real design elements.

    Exactly, what i thought ? I was under the assumption that all PF cars were such labled?

    I still think this is the prettiest car in their line up. Not as pretty as the Maserati Granturismo and not as sexy as the 458 but prettier.

    I'm anxious to see it face to face.

    Just sold mine after 12 years of loyal service. I miss it actually but it was starting to fall apart.

    I would not call it "excellent handling" though... :) 0-60 in 4.8? Ummm... no. :) Maybe with the manual but certainly not with the F1 box.

    I think the new CA will replace my Mas Spyder. The Corvette C7 convertible is a place holder until then.
