    I did indeed. For me, the 360 was a bridge to the Cali. I got out of my 997TT because it was dropping like a stone and I thought the 360 would retain more value, and it would be fun to drive it around for a few months! The 360 spider is a fabulous car. The design is drop-dead gorgeous. For me, the Cali is way more refined in and out. I really like my creature comforts such as cruise control, satellite radio, bluetooth, i-pod integration. So, therefore, the Cali is more the car for me. I also like the less maintenance issues such as the clutch and no belts.

    I'm biased, but I like the looks of the 360 more than the Cali. (not to mention the $$$ difference). Depends on what you want to use the car for- Daily Driver: Cali, "special" weekend/experience ferrari: 360/430/scud/458

    I did too. I agree that the 360 is a beautiful car. I still think it looks better than the California but amazingly the California gets far more attention and comments about how good it looks than the 360 ever did. The California looks more exotic than the 360, but not as beautiful (of course as in all things beauty there is a large subjective opinion involved).
    Mechanically and systems wise the California is a much more sophisticated car than the 360 but then a lot happens in a decade of progress. It feels like the California performs as well or better than the 360 although I don't drive either to their limits. The numbers seem to confirm that too. Finally, the California is a much more pleasant car to drive.
