F430 vs 430 California GT (F149) ?

As there has been very little info about the F149 (GT California), while we wait, I think it would be interesting to talk about how they would compare, performance-wise and style-wise (a bit of speculative, I know, but let's go at it anyway) based on what we know..

1. The F149 will use a new alumunium chassis which will also be used by the mid-engined F142 and it's much of an improvement than the old 360/F430 chassis. It will use a faster F1 transmission and possibly magnetic ride so even if the F149 is supposed to be a GT, I think it will give the F430 a run for its money if driven hard..?

2. As the F149 is front-engined, the proportions could already be guessed but as it's a 2+2 I don't think it will be a mini 599, ex the smaller engine will not make that long a hood and the 2+2 cabin will not be as cab-backward as the 599. To compare it with Aston Martin's lineup it should be like the DB9 but as it is a folding hardtop CC, I don't think it will be as low as the DB9 as the roof will probably be a bit bulbous..?

3. I think the side profile would be somewhere between the mid-engined, -but still not cab-forward enough- F430 and the extreme cab-backward, front-engined 599..?

Anyone..?
