    I just got my California from the dealer and I was blown away with how much I like it! It is as fast as I want to go in any city/highway driving. If you put it into launch mode it is way quicker than my 430. It drives like a civilized Ferrari should.

    Very nice colour, its amazing how much the carbon steering wheel adds to the interior.

    Thanks for all the nice comments. I do have to give credit to Roberto at the dealer, he speced it out. On the shields: especially on this car, they just look like clutter. I liked them on my 360 but I have seen a California with them and it is not a good look.

    Instant classic.

    If you can't have fun in that car, time to get a check-up :)

    Perfect color for that car, although all of 'em look great regardless of color. No shields... good move.
    Love the diamond stitching as well...

    Beautiful car!

    Brought it home yesterday, very fun. One thing, it is loaded with tech toys. In the 360 I could pretty much learn everything about the car in a short talk with the dealer and the rest of the manual could be shortened to "Don't crash". I'm going to have to read the whole manual to know how to use all the doo-dads on the California.

    No shields, very nice....wish more people thought (and ordered) the same way. Car is much cleaner looking without them, as is virtually every other Ferrari. Well done. Wonderful classic color combo as well. :) Enjoy it.

    Before someone orders a California with shields they should look at one that has them. Due to the vent in that area the shields make it look very cluttered. Plus the lines of the car are clean enough that the break of the shield sort of messes the look up.
