Wow, here's a news article which has basically copypasted SAT4RE post. Well, at least they mentioned FChat, lol! Funny that they call it "breaking news". It was just a summary of information that has been in this thread for quite some time. Again, my presumption that journalistic laziness has no boundaries is yet again confirmed. New Ferrari California Will Get F12-Inspired Look, More Powerful Engine | car news @ Top Speed
Ha! I saw that a couple of days ago and told my wife I'd made international car news headlines! Funny and lame! In their attempt to paraphrase what I said, they botched the description of the side view. Oh, well. As for news on the reveal...we obviously can't trust these online car magazines...but one said that Ferrari was doing an online reveal on February 12. We know that's the private presentation, but maybe it will coincide with an online showing??
Anybody who actually spends an effort on reading this thread will know more about the next California than all the online magazines combined.
TopSpeed just posted a near verbatim version of my post! I didn't realize it was so simple for these journalists to write articles! ;-)
Some news site has probably done the same with you if you ever shared "inside" information on this forum. It's happened to me more times than I've bothered to count (apologies if that makes me sound somewhat pretentious) We should all be exchanging autographs Maybe Rob could make some FChat e-business cards we could inbox to all those news outlets that copy paste posts from FChat
Hahaha! you don't sound at all pretentious. The only inside information I have is from you guys. ...and I don't post it like I found it out on my own... But I would love to collect cards...
So, as the guys are saying on another thread, and as posted on Ferrari's site, it will be a web preview on Wednesday! Great!!

I'm just counting on you as my authoritative source. Perhaps they'll add a little to the sketch each day to keep us interested, too (looks like an F12-like side panel without the air dam?).
Thanks, but frankly there are several users in this thread that equal or surpass my knowledge regarding the new California. I know that a few owners are going to Maranello tomorrow, as well as the people from the dealer if they have the time. I'll probably hear a few details from them in the days after the unveil.
I feel like tomorrow is Christmas or New Year's (and it will be for some...). Thanks to all for the fun discussing this.
This is consistent with the styling cues from the F12 and Speciale, and the current California as well. Looks good too.
I want one. Just posting now in case I didn't get a chance tomorrow. Seeing my dealer on Monday to talk about it.
Great rendering. I wish I had a smidge of that talent. It looks kind of like the 599F12CA TT to me...
