    Hey guys,

    has anyone gone from a 612 to a California? I decided to make the switch. Bought the car from FOLI and will pick it up on Tuesday. Those who may have made this switch, I would love to hear about your experiences, things you love about the Cali, things you miss about your 612 etc.

    Will post pictures and report my own experiences next week! Till later,

    Yep! Wanted a drop top with the possibility of taking my kids along for short rides! Also wanted to experience a V8 Ferrari as the 612 was very my first Ferrari. :)

    The back "seats" are a total joke. You'll have a hard time fitting a duffle bag in the seat let alone a human. It's so cramped back there, I wouldn't even put a 3 year-old in those seats.

    Seriously. Check it out thoroughly if you haven't done so already.

    Dude, I did. Maybe its because my wife and I are not particularly tall, but with the front seats pulled forward somewhat, the rear seats SEEM to have enough room for small children for short trips. Check out the thread on using the rear seats on a Cali in the Cali model specific discussion area, many other owners are getting some degree of use out of it. I'll let you know about my own experiences once I get a chance to try them out.

    Sounds awesome! I'm a big fan of the new California. Looks like you're going to have to come up with a new Handle 612scag!
