Cookie Monster, once your in the program with Ferrari your wait times for the newer models drops considerably. If you get you 458 in 2014 and a new model is introduced in 2015 or so you will be able to get the new model sooner. FWIW, if you're buying a California you should not have to wait until 2014 before you can order a 458. Your dealer can and should do better.

The SLS is something you should explore but I understand there is a wait. It is a totally different car than the California. Less versatile and more performance oriented. I thought the cabin was too small and the hood too long. But its performance number are excellent.

Drive the California before you buy.
