Ferrari California

[Got Boost?]

I think it looks awesome, i love ferrari styling. Although my favourite is definitely the 430..

god, these things are getting worse and worse

Looks very tidy and probably more liveable than a F430 which make the 360 a once a month car. Be looking forward to se it in the flesh.

personal fav is the 250 LM, but I like the new one...

[m3gtr]

Thats a beautiful design. organic shapes...much like the female body.

If only all designers thought that way...

[nachoman]

The scooter 'corse!

You know, when it came to this design, im still not sure who copied who...aston martin with the DB6 or ferrari with the 275...

Its just that ive always thought Fezzas like the 275 seemed really Astonish if you ask me...

I prefer the more purposeful design of the F50 personally, or the 512TR, at least they were built purely to be road going race cars - most ferrari's seem like rolling penis extensions to me!

Forgive me Ferrari, Theres only one other car that touches my heart other than Skylines, and thats the F40.

I love my Ferrari's i never ever talk down about them, but as of recently they are bringing out let down after let down.

Personally i think out of the modern Ferari's the Enzo should have been designed similar to the F40/50 and named the obvious name of F60, cause i bet you Enzo himself is spewing in his grave. (although i think its a great car in its own respects, nothing wrong with it at all, but to call it an Enzo???!)

Secondly out of the modern Ferrari's the F430 and the 612 Scaglliette (Forgive me if i spelt it wrong) should be the only ones allowed to see daylight. This new California is a mockery of the old prestigious Ferrari's that once were...

To be put quite simply this contraption (and i use the term lightly in this case since its Ferrari) reminds me of a Porsche Boxter/BMW Z4 from the side pic. A Toyota MR2 (current shape) from the front. And something that Volswagon would think about producing if they decided to bring out a new Beetle from the rear.

Not a fan of soft tops either, i think they take away from the essence of the cars framework.

Although im sure the performance better matches what you pay for. But at the end of the day i think Ferrari is going backwards with all their endeavours, I'd much rather a 35 GTR anyday over any of the current Ferrari's, i'd only take one for the Badge and saying i own a Ferrari, then again, Hand me a F40 or 50 and ill drop my house and everything i have to own that!

Sorry to all those that are fans of the '350 California' and love this car, its just my 2 cents and i think i had to say that, because as a Ferrari die hard fan myself, (i have everything Ferrari cept the car itself lol), i think i had to get this off my chest because Ferrari have been disapointing me time and time again with their developments, hopefully they get back on their horse (no pun intended) and start to give back Ferrari a decent name especially for their loyal customers that will spend anything to get one. don't flame me for this! like i said above, love Ferrari....just skeptical about their future as a prestigious car company and where they are heading. On a lighter note i hope they take the constructors championship in F1!

I guess that depends on what you call a poor man eh.
