    Hey guys,
    I just wanted to ask if anybody knows when the 458 Speciale will be arriving to Ontario dealers? Reason I'm asking is that I would really like to go see it and photograph the car. I quite like its aggressive look and I've noticed they are starting to get delivered around Europe.

    Thanks
    -Nick

    I went today to check it out and unfortunately I wasn't allowed to go upstairs and see it at Ferrari of Ontario. The salesman there told me to wait for the autoshow pretty much.
    Thanks anyways for letting me know the car was at the dealer.

    Yeah, I still wish I got to see it. Other dealers don't seem to treat customers/visitors like this. I get that I can't afford the car but it's not like my eyes will damage the paint. The receptionist was about to take me upstairs until a salesman and some other lady came up and said that we weren't allowed. He even told me to wait for the autoshow. At that point I just left the dealer.

    Wow, it's snowing so bad there. Come to Vancouver, we only had 2 days of light snowing in December, the rest are about +5 celcius. The forecast 2 weeks ahead is half sunny and half raining with temperature ranging +5 to +10 celcius. And last summer, we had no-rain for 3 months straight.
    Btw, the 599XX looks so good. Is there any chance we can modified a 458 spider to have a sound close to the 599XX or FXX?

    That entire line up of cars belong to Remo (owner of FOO). Alfa 8C, 288GTO, MC12, Daytona, 599XX, Enzo FXX etc... I think he owns just about every model from Ferrari, Alfa.

    They placed ropes in front of the GTO and MC12 Corsa, so one couldn't really get a closer look. Still nice though. After this last visit I was really let down seeing how my friend and I were treated. I'm not expecting any special treatment and all I wanted to do was to photography the new Speciale. The thing that bugs me is that the receptionist was about to take us to see the car and suddenly the salesman steps in. When the salesman said that we were not allowed to see the car he went on to say we should wait until the autoshow. That angered me. I went all the way to the dealer just to hear that. Thankfully McLaren had the 12C Sprint on display and as usual with them, there's no problem with getting close to the car. It seems like the dealer here represents a "different" Ferrari.

    Don't take it personal, anything could have happened for that situation.

    He could have gotten off the phone with bad news, maybe he was told not to let anyone upstairs for whatever reason. Maybe you were wearing reeboks, and he is a Nikey fan, who knows.

    Whatever the case, don't sweat the small stuff. They will make 1,000s of these sh$t boxes, in a few years you will see them for sale beside a Kia at a Toyota used car dealership.
