Mike, excellent color combo and use it in good health, have you heard from your dealer when the 430 Replacement will be out in Europe at all.
430 replacement will be shown in October 09 with first Swiss and Euro cars Jan 2010 delivery, looks fabulous!
Does have winter tires, though! Body surfacing in second to last picture looks great - makes me think this just might be like many other pininfarina designs that only get better with time.
Congrats, good color for that car. I like how you turned the car into a thing of beauty by cutting off the fugly rear end with your photography
Congrats on the new ride! That's a perfect color package given the cars more subtle, everyday mission. I like. Just curious about the information about the 430 replacement (450?). Is this word from the factory itself or from a dealership? In my experience, dealers (particularly salespeople) offer information that is wildly off. If you believe it to be ironclad I'll certainly take your word!
I have an SL63 at the moment and am planning to get the California. But, I use the SL63 as a daily driver. So, I am curious how you would compare the California's navigation system, Bluetooth, satellite radio (if it has one), and iPod interface etc. to those in the SL63. I think the ones in the SL63 are generally very good (big touch screen controls and easy to use etc.). Do you think the California could be a good daily driver from an in-car entertainment and navigation perspective? Also, how would you compare the dual clutch transmission in the California with the manual/auto transmission in the SL63? I think the SL63's transmission is a lot better than the SL55's but it is definitely not as good as the dual clutch system in my Nissan GTR. Is the California's transmission more like the GTR? Thanks.
Best colour combo I have seen so far, very nice. Look at you driving in the cold swiss weather with the roof down! Poser Take care Mike
Beautiful car and color scheme. "Whilst" says British extraction or British education. LHD says expatriate. Fun to play Sherlock Holmes. I write books for a British publisher. We have an agreement: If he ever edits one of my books to include "whilst", I never write for him again. An odd quirk of mine, most assuredly. Taz Terry Phillips
My best guess is grigio silverstone exterior and new Cuio interior. Digital photography always shifts true color especially when there is high reflectivity. Look at the photos again and focus on the least shiny areas of the car.
I still don't like it but its always nice to have a new car, so, congratulations and drive in good health.. I am confused, did you see it, or the "!" stands for what the dealer says..
