I did not drve the California,but to me it seems like a pointless car - it is not much cheaper than a 458,you can have a 458 convertible now,rear seat are so small so it is not 4 seater either,it probably has no more luggage space due to roof in the trunk...so what is the point of it?(if we presume 458 is better looking,better to drive,faster and easier to sell when the time comes)
