    Interior controls and gauges looks more like an Audi's than a Ferrari's . Prediction : chicks will love it !!

    Rear exhaust looks kinda cool seeing as they're angled a bit and not stacked directly over each other.

    With different wheels that car would be great. It looks like the interior design and quality has leapt forward and the raised "bridge" like aluminium section with the LC, auto and reverse buttons looks very nicely done. The engine looks great. This will be a big hit no doubt about IMHO.

    Hmmm... is the interior a bit 'over styled'.. I've the letter from my dealer sat on the shelf in the hall asking for some more deposit.. still refundable so will continue.. but not too sure still.....

    ...as in the hard to read alternating white/red/white/red numbers for the speedometer - you expect to see that only on the face of a kid's $10 toy watch .

    Re: Test of Ferrari California (in German]

    So far I am impressed with the cabin finish and execution and I quite like the front, but I dislike the rear and the wheels.

    Generally speaking I have not been overwhelmed to say the least with Ferrari's wheels design since the 612 onwards, with the exception of the 430 standard (not Challenge) ones.

    Would look much better in another colour. Quite happy with the interior.

    Looks better than expected at first glance, however, I can't seem to get used to those rear lights above the exhausts...

    Who said anything about design? Get the top off, borrow a blonde girlfriend, pick up a latte at Starbucks and cruise the boulevard. And after a guy in some japanese sports car says what a nice car you have, sneer at him: "You can't afford it. Fawrrari!"

    Hmmm... dont like that bulky back. The rest looks like a small version of the 612 - ok for me.

    Anyway - it will be an eyecatcher

    Indeed ken will have to.

    BTW, the best word to describe this car is it's pretty. That what my GF just said to me. Pretty ... hein? Since when do we want a sports car to be pretty?

    The girls are definitly targeted by Ferrari with the california. Like the old mature woman were targeted by porsche with the 997 mkII apparently. That's probably why the rear lights make the car looks fatter that it was. Old lady & big @ss is usually the norm.


    What's with these designers anyway?
