    With the 430 out now in Ontario, anyone seen any on the road yet? Has delivery started anywhere in Canada yet? If so, does anyone know if these are new owners, or did they have be previous fcar owners?

    It seems that Montreal had the first cars on the ground. I'm sure TO will catch up and surpass soon...

    There is also talk in the Vancouver section of a grey F430 F1. They are trickling in across the country now.

    Hey Rick,

    The only 2 I've seen in Toronto were the red and black one at the dealership unveling last week.

    Dont know about the red one they had on the main showroom floor...but I met the owner of the black one they had in the service bay (stunning, by the way) He told me he was to take delivery within a couple weeks...and he definately was a multi car previous owner before...as a matter of fact, he was the original owner of the 355 I have now!...small (ferrari) world....

    How's the TR? Im sure you must have taken advantage of the nice weather we had earlier this month...I know I did ;)

    My Dad's F430 Spyder is supposed to be here by June 1st, although that doesn't mean much as the factory has been to known to have delays, etc.

    I attended an FCA event at the dealership last Saturday and the owner of the red F430 was supposed to take delivery of the car that day. However, the weather was pretty poor last Saturday, so I'm not sure if the car was actually delivered. Has anybody been to the dealership recently and if so, would you confirm whether the red F430 is still there?

    Already slammed 1,000km on the TR this year. Thanks for asking, hopefully the 355 and you are well?

    As for the 430, Ryan sounds intresting that the spider would be here next month. I thought the spider wasnt to come here until the end of the year. Am I missing something? As for the coupes, its nice to see them already getting on the road. Anyone know how they sound in comparison to the 360? And are they all preivous fcar owners?

    I've heard that they sound better than a stock 360, but not as good as a F355

    Montreal did have the first ones on the road I beleive. A blue one was sold on Ebay and I assume may be out of Canada. The other two F430s that I have seen were both red and one has been deliverd to the customer, who is a memeber here. There was a red one in the showroom of FoQ last week, however I do not know if it was one of the two that were previously seen or if it is infact a 4th.

    The majority of F430s on order at FoO are from present day 360 owners, and most are trying to sell their Modenas before their F430 arrives.

    I went to the dealership Saturday afternoon and the F430 was still there. I have seen pictures of the car at the new owners house, so I can confirm that he picked it up later that day.

    The people that do this just keep watering down the brand. Why do they allow this. The 360 is becoming the toyota camry of the ferrari line up.How much more improved can this be over the 360 anyway......seems to me that ferraris are gonna start becoming just another used sports car if they keep this up. Thanks for the info.

    The car you were referring to is a good friend of mine and he picked his car up. Met today up in Woodbridge, he drivers the car most every day, rain or shine. I hope to drive the car in the next week or so to get a feel for the diffrences of the new car over my car. My friend is a true Ferrari nut...he already ordered the 430 Spider, he will probaly get the first one. Life could be worse :)

    Ya that is wierd isn't it? Apparantly they keep telling my Dad sometime in June, although when he ordered the Barchetta it came several months late, so who knows really.
