    Azzuro California is not going to happen for US car deliveries.

    I inquired at the showing in Pebble Beach since my 360 is Azzuro California.

    I was told the car will not be offered in this color and that the only colors that were available were the ones on the display! I believe there were only 12 samples shown but can't be sure.

    There were more leather samples and stitching styles than paint colors.

    Appears this will be Mercedes in character with limited paint options.

    It will not be a standard color offering, but there will always be the out-of-range (ie previous Ferrari colors such as Azzuro California), and "custom" colors (eg smurf blue, and other whacky choices).

    That's entirely possible, but the person with whom I spoke was quite adamant about color choices!

    Thanks for the heads up. Yet an extremely metallic silver still just hits all the right buttons for me. I had a feeling the first two pictures were photoshops, but the last one just seemed real to me.

    They don't make it, but I think the car in a VERY dark green with a medium olive green interior would be outstanding...

    I went with grigio silverstone over red with black accents - started with grigio over cuio (sp?), but decided to try something new (to me).

    I thought about this during the PB unveiling where they had the color samples on the wall. If it were me (and I wish it was), I'd go with the burgundy exterior, cream interior, with burgundy piping.

    I had a Maser Vintage Sypder in this combo. It really looked great.

    I spoke with the head of Ferrari North America at the annual meet on this subject. He said I could order any color I wanted (and NOT so long as it was black), including custom colors.

    Goes to show you there is no uniformity of public statement from Ferrari on a subject!

    That is certainly good to hear, of course.

    I just ordered my 599 in TDF on Crema. All Crema dash and steering wheel. LED steering package, Blu piping and stitching, blu carpets. Yellow brakes, Yellow Tach, Shields, IPOD Crema rear leather shelf. I cant remember anymore options.

    Can anyone please post a large photo of that TDF on Crema 599 on page 1.

    Strongly advise against wheel/upper-dash in crema. The wheel because it'll get dirty and will quickly look bad, and the dash because it'll give terrible glare -- you may find that the factory may even refuse to build it that way because of this...

    I understand what you are saying about the glare. I have a 430 with beige dash and steering wheel and there is a little glare but nothing that has ever caused me to have trouble seeing. I know that crema is much lighter and the glare will be heavier, but it would look excellent. I also think that that the piping and stitching , as well as, the carbon fiber will mix with the color well. Also the factory may call the dealer to ask whether the color is what the client really wants, but they will make any color your heart desires. Check out the latest issue of Rosso magazine, The Ferrari North America Magazine and you can see one client who has color combos that will blow your mind. Thank you for your input on my color choice I will consider a possible change.

    While I wouldn't order a light dash or wheel, maybe polarized sunglasses would remove any reflection from the glass.
