    Seeing how metallic colors show off the lines & how blue suits it, I think this color from Scuderia, 'avio metallico' would look STUNNING on the California.



    IMO the California needs a color which HIDES the lines. Black. Or even better, the new Carrozzeria special paint "stealth cloak"



    And you know what it means if you say a car looks best in black...

    Btw, Rossi, my expectations not too high anymore for the FI42.. Sad but true. I think Lambo's next VI2 will be Reventon-stunning..


    Don't say that shin, you ruin all my expectations.


    You're absolutely right, LP560-4 is the car to beat. I hope Maranello gets it right.


    Sorry.. no foul intention there Rossi. I still hope FI42 will look good. Hope they look at the LP560-4 real good.. it's so compact, yet so stunning..

    If Ferrari wouldn't do this California the next F430 would be less hardcore = not good

    And when there wouldn't be a high-volume Calfornia, they would need to sell a lot more F142 = not good

    If the California would look awesome and extreme, there wouldn't be much room for the F142 left = not good


    Well, you see, I'm trying to see the silver lining.



    Ahhh, zzboba, you made my day.

    BTW, bei "if" kein "would", remember that?

    Well it gives you a more real world figure...

    Re: New pics of the California...

    The front half of the car reminds me very much of the 550/575M. I like this car.

    Re: New pics of the California...



    I like the front half, when viewed from a certain angle... and if it's the right colour and has the top up.

    There shouldn't be so many "ifs" and "whens" when describing a Ferrari's looks...

    Exactly.

    Re: New pics of the California...

    This car is clearly Ferrari's effort to appeal to an aging enthusiast group (myself included) who would enjoy a more muscular alternative to the MB SL formula and commonality. The car is well suited to our South Florida climate and driving environment (purely Gran Turismo), and my wife would approve of the California in a heartbeat, not so the F430. The metallic blue suits the car well. I will most likely have to wait for a discard from a "real" Ferrari customer, but I will look forward to the Paris debut nonetheless.

    Re: New pics of the California...

    after i saw it with the top up i starting to like it

    Re: New pics of the California...

    I really like the side view with the top up.
    4.5m also sounfd prommising, as do 1.9m width.

    Black with gold scud rims for me.
    Like on that photoshop.

    Maybe somebody will do the closed roof side pic in that style this tim too.
    hint, hint...

    Re: New pics of the California...

    I just remembered where I saw that styling before...the Ford Thunderbird!

    Definitely, Barbie's car. A Japanese Barbie, that is!

    To me it sound like an old movie plot: a young american soldier with german origins, while serving in an US Army base in Japan fells in love with a beautiful japanese girl. Their kid is the Japanese Barbie Not that is something wrong with that. I was forced to see the Titanic movie by my girlfriend after all

    Re: New pics of the California...

    When will Ferrari wake up and bring back the Lightweight, Manual Gearbox, Aggressive mean machine V8/V12 biturbo ?

    FXX & Millechili concept is not what I have in mind, but this

    Great picture indeed.

    Re: New pics of the California...

    @BiTurbo. Lightwight yes - but manual shift... I think you will never see a manual shift any more. The new double-clutch shift systems are working very fast and efficient. The manual shift is a relict from the history (unfortunatley - i love them too).

    Re: New pics of the California...

    Side shot reminds me of 550/575
    And thats a good thing.

    Heavy as it is, the Californicator is "lightweight" in comparison to the BMW M3 Convertible - which is at least 250kg more? That is an achievement in itself...

    I remember seeing an F40 in California, about 10 years ago, that had a license plate that read "VIPRETR"
