    If only stretching it back out would result in having a real california .

    It's also what rich girls buy... opposed to poor girls buying VW Beetle's.

    Saw a black Gallardo and an H1 Hummer at Snowbird.

    The California was made exclusively for the TV series Desperate Housewives. It's the sort of car they would drive. It's almost as bad as the Cayenne. Almost.

    By the way, I saw plenty of classics today, including several 911s, a CS. I think they were doing a rally around here. Also saw a Panamera. Too much badging and chrome.

    Actually I think it was designed for clients that aren't insecure and comfortable enough with their sexuality to own a Ferrari that is still a driver's car but doubles as a boulevard cruiser. Its nowhere near the same as introducing something like a cayenne into your lineup. Some guys have even traded their F430s for this car, because its friendly enough to let the wife drive it. There's nothing wrong with that. While Porsche tends to too many people, Ferrari doesn't tend to enough, and this car is the perfect entry level F car that won't rip your face off. It fits in perfectly with the rest of the lineup and completes it nicely. It still has the spice and the soul of the Ferrari brand too, that never left. Truly the only thing that stops this car from taking as much glory as it deserves are peoples' insecurities towards convertibles and what they THINK they stand for. This is still very much a Ferrari and far better than what most of us drive.

    A Ferrari that is userfriendly. Forget about some mayans, that really is the end of the world.

    Good or not, it still is a soft boulevard cruiser. And therefore an afront to Enzo.

    HYUNDAI COUPE more like

    Don't like, this is the Boxster of the Ferrari range.
    A dilution too far to sell to people who can't handle a real one

    I think that the Boxster is far better car than the California.

    More classic car rallying by the way. I took some pics with the phone, I'll post them when I'm back home.
