    Good comparisons. The California reminds me of the car in the movie Cars. It's got that smiley face going for it.

    The California looks surprisingly narrow in that line up. I've seen the Cali in person and I like many elements of the car, but put it right next to a GT, and I would say the GT looks better. I wish they would come out with the GT convertible already. Too bad it won't be a hardtop convertible.

    The Cali looks so small/narrow in this lineup.
    The 599 is the most beautyful (offcourse) but it's also the most expensive.

    I never really liked the GT. Don't know what it is. Some design features are great, others really ruin it

    The Cali? It's growing on me :)

    I'm fairly bulky, wonder if I would fit in the Cali? The other two seem very spacious now ( especially the GT).

    I think you might. The California looked very spacious when I saw it. Lots of seat travel and electric wheel adjust for those of larger stature.

    But it's really big and a bit underpowered. The Cali interior is much nicer in my opinion. It's also a lot cheaper.

    Saw a red GT next to a red California today - The GT wins by a mile. Now please give us a convertible GT.

    I am a huge Ferrari guy but I tell you that Maser Gran Turismo is the most gorgeous car not just in the lineup but on the planet in the last few years IMHO. I have seen the Cali in person and do like it alot (except the backside) but seeing it next to the Maser GT it doesn't even compare.

    Awesome comparison. Thanks for posting.

    Hmm, I actually prefer the GranTurismo from this picture, but it would be my 3rd choice to own.

    Does anyone have a comparison shot of the California and the Maserati coupe (2002-2006).
    I think these two share more DNA that the others here.

    No, I do have the GranSport vs. GranTurismo. I think GranTurismo is better looking, but GranSport will beat it as a smaller lighter sports car, the GranTurismo does have smoother and quicker F1.

    For me GranTurismo > California > 599

    The GT blows the other two out of the water IMHO.

    Is the California available with a stick shift option?
