    It would make a great new Viper though. It looks like it has American muscle.

    That car looks good like it has some muscle and exclusive and exotic. Not like a miata or honda/toyota. I think it looks better than the f149.

    What a disappointment. I keep looking everyday at the F149, hoping it will grow on me.... The days keep passing by.....

    Anyone know if the full color range will be available and whether the major options will be similar to the other cars?

    Wow that looks really nice. Is there a picture of the rear?

    I like the California rear. I think the front is something I would have to see in person.

    Update from my dealer. He will be flying to California (where else) at the end of May for a full de-briefing and training on the new car. Im assuming they will also be driving them over there. Much more information including final pricing should be available then.

    The California is on the new issue of Top Gear Magazine. The cover shows a Giallo California in a slightly different front 3/4 view. Its starting to look better. The link to the microsite isn't working though.

    The front actually looks much better on this shot than on the other picture.

    Either I'm warming up to it, or it looks much better in yellow!

    Slightly higher camera angle. Looks better from normal eye level rather than down low at mini-me level is a good thing, since that is angle from where it will be looked at the most.

    You guys are right, it does look better. Still wish the hood scoop was more curvy instead of a flat rectangle though.

    Like the wheels and doors.Exhaust is OK, but too much red where the exhaust used to be. Dont like the door, much prefer the one someone else did earlier without the top crease. Plus single rear light does it for me.

    I too am a big fan of the rear, I have the photo set as screensaver, the whole car is nice, but there is something that jumps out at you from the rear 3/4 angle, cant wait to see more pics ( or even in the flesh).

    love what you have done with the exhaust, like ferrari should of done, unless this is there intention for future facelift/limited edition scud version for extra milage from the chassis, not too keen on the wheels but do like the inward dish to compliment the lines of the car.
