    Re: Blue California spotted

    I was liking it before but now I'm becoming really disappointed. I mean the front is okay but the back is really disgusting.

    The car's getting ready for a plane ride. I wonder where they're sending it?

    The back looks like some kind of Pac-Man character in that shot.

    I was thinking the same! I quite like that shot.. very futuristic!

    BUT, why the rims... they look so Kia

    I agree !

    Don't like this California model.

    Let's be honest, it isn't a Ferrari.
    It's Fiat answer for Chinese market demand.

    I mean compare it with 430 spider, need I say more.

    The side profile is rather disappointing. Looks very Z4-ish with the body profile lines all over the show.

    I agree with Atz, the wheels don't suit a Ferrari.

    Is that a DBS in the second pic? I think that looks nicer than the Californicator.

    The Aston looks much more handsome. The two lambos in the background don't look bad either. The California is from the TVR rather than Ferrari school of design.

    Ferrari is not as precious as before anymore.This car has spoil the brand name of Ferrari. I hope they won't make a seden or SUV in the future.

    The whole car is disgusting. What's even more disgusting is Ferrari can get away with producing disgusting cars and sell out and have a 1+ year wait list with their low-volume marketing strategy.

    reminds of the SL a bit,only that the new SL BS is miles ahead of this Ferrari thing and will probably cost less....

    Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series cost 310000 Euro in Germany with Mwst.

    SO, California with base price in 165000 Euro (with Mwst. in Germany) is much, much cheaper...

    Maybe in real life its stunning but in the first shot it looks like a next generation Vette

    And the rear end is a bit dull and plain, it lacks the character and intensity of a Ferrari.

    The tight shot of the rear looks too much like what a next gen Lexus SC would have looked like , if it hadn't been put out of production recently .

    Same here. Though I understand the reason for the car, I don't believe it fits in with the Ferrari models. The car has a feminine footprint (I suspect by design to attract women buyers) and that alone makes the car much less desirable especially for present Ferrari owners.

    I have no doubt it will sell and attract new buyers but I am afraid they have tarnished the brand image by doing so.
