chicagobimmerboy · 06-28-2008, 09:12 PM

What did you expect? pics of a blond in a bikini?

Nope in my opinion this is wayyy better. This new prancing horse has an absolutly gorgeous interior. Now why cant BMW have one like that.
Well anyway enjoy.

I absolutely love this car, they did a great job with it. I wonder how the heavier hardtop will affect the car's handling- it will be interesting to see the top gear test.

Big Windy · 06-29-2008, 02:52 AM

I don't like the California...the design is unoriginal. Interior is nice though..but that is what you get when you pay that much $$$

hellrotm · 06-29-2008, 04:37 AM

One of ugliest Ferrari's. The California is a flop.

Any man buying a Ferrari will opt for the better looking and performing F430.

No joke, it looks like a woman's Ferrari. It has a little Miata look to it.

Why, why, why did they make this?

JIO · 06-29-2008, 05:13 AM

It's interesting that on the Lexus IS-F people are making fun of the "stacked" exhaust tips, and now Ferrari has the same exhaust tips. I wonder if all the car makers will switch to stacked exhausts in the future....I hope not.

To SELL in California - where some want to cruise and not be in a hard-charger (and less easy to see out of and be seen) F430!

I'm not feeling the Cali .. cynical attempt by Modena to go after the Malibu Merc SL crowd.

Paint it silver and it looks like a Lexus.

which one??? i'd say more of a toyota mr2 or a maserati.

mkoesel · 06-29-2008, 11:24 AM

I think I would prefer an Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Spider, but this would be a close second with the upcoming Maserati GranTurismo S Spider close behind in third. Although the Aston Martin Vantage Roadster is real nice too.

worst ferrari ever

The California is an everyday GT that ferrari needs in its lineup to gain a bigger base of customers (and make more money). The 430 is wonderful but it is not something you can drive everyday.

win-by-miles · 06-29-2008, 12:49 PM

wtf? where the tits?

TK-421 · 06-29-2008, 03:39 PM

Maserati Gran Turismo > Ferrari California

RandyB · 06-29-2008, 04:08 PM

I don't like it at all, although the engine is amazing. I do love Ferrari red though.

F430 or bust...

Greenspotpop · 06-29-2008, 04:58 PM

The official website for this car is here:

Agree. This is the general reaction I have seen to this car. Car enthusiasts that like it are in the minority.

It will be priced at or near the F430 spider, just under $200,000.

It is a car executives will buy for their wife. Men will steer towards the F430.

ismelllikepoop · 06-29-2008, 07:59 PM

real men will steer towards the 599 fiorano, f430 seems more (very) rich boy racer. the california looks kind of like the granturismo to me, tho not as elegant. i think it looks pretty good. and as much as i like the f430, i wouldn't call it an attractive car.

MTV · 06-30-2008, 04:04 PM

Looks really nice.

LI E90 · 06-30-2008, 04:39 PM

looking California, feeling Minnesota..

thank you Chris Cornell

Boooost · 06-30-2008, 05:50 PM

I'm feelin the vert, man.

vladinecko · 06-30-2008, 05:57 PM

i also don't feel the is-f exhaust. other than that, yup, it's a ferrari, therefore, i want it.

Boooost · 06-30-2008, 06:04 PM
