    Picked up my 2013 a couple of weeks ago and both happily and sadly left behind my 2011. Reading through the posts I concur that this is a materially different vehicle on almost all fronts. First and foremost, I did not get the Special Handling Package. Maybe you do not miss what you do not have, but the feedback from the dealer was that it was not worth the expense. This is a personal decision/debate with no right or wrong answer.

    Other then that it is a fairly basic model with a few important trimmings. Traded the Pozzi for the TDF and love it (pictures to follow). The fit is superior on almost all counts, the performance from the extra HP to the silky smooth transmission are beautiful and maybe most importantly, I seem to get better looking when I am driving it.

    I think that I am in love...again.

    Great colour combination

    Diamond stitching looks great

    But I'm not a huge fan of the 15 inch wheels :)

    Congratulations on waiting to get the "30" model

    That`s my favourite color combination (blue metallic exterior color and beige interior)! It looks great!
    The diamond stitching looks also great! You have a good taste!

    Debated the wheel decision, but when you live in NJ and want to avoid repairing/replacing wheels constantly, needed the extra rubber. Frankly though, I have grown to like their classic look.

    Looks great. Never understand why some criticise the Calis looks.
