I think I'd rather the SL

This will be spectacularly successful for Ferrari.

No doubt. The baby blue and beige colour combo is absolutely perfect, it enhances the boulevard cruiser image. I can't wait to see official images of it in real life scenes such a the Pacific coast highway stretching along the coat of California.

I'm still far from being sold on this Ferrari,it doesn't strike me like when i first saw the F430 or 599GTB which i was drooling over both ever since i saw the pics.That car looks like a japanese Ferrari.

 

[Centurion]

That car looks like a japanese Ferrari.

.......and I happen to like Italian sushi

Just when I was madly in love with the SL this girl comes along and takes off her top.





She is hot!!!!!

 

[Wunderkind]

I think the California's exterior styling is a tad too feminine for my taste.

But I do love the specification and the performance figures of the car.

Yes, a serious competitior to the Mercedes SL AMG models has finally arrived.

 

[Merc1]

WOW, it looks better top up than it does top down. That is rare in a convertible. Top up balances out all the lines going on down the sides of the car. Yes the AMG SL finally has a true competitor playing its very same game, hardtop and all. The only thing that will save the SL will be its sheer affordability and availability compared to the Ferrari. If this Ferrari is right around the 200K mark who in their right mind would buy a SL65 AMG?

[PanterroR]

Freakin' gorgeous look with the top up! And that metallic blue looks 10 times better than the red one.

Marcus, maybe i wouldn't go for SL65 over this, maybe... But i know i'd go for SL65 BS in a heartbeat...

 

[Merc1]

Well the Black Series is a different animal all together, completely understandable.

I was doubting this Ferrari due to its bloodline (shared with either Alfa or Maserati depending on the source), yet these photos are erasing any doubts I had.

I predict this car will easily become Ferrari's bestseller in no time. We already know this car is going to whup the AMG SLs, upcoming DBS Cabriolet, and other similar drop tops on the road an in comparos. Success for this Ferrari is a forgone conclusion.

I'd easily,i loooove Ferraris and most of the italian cars but this leaves me cold,it's doesn't look italian at all.I'd take the SL65 over this anyday

I knew this would happen, initially people are sceptical about the design since a new Ferrari is a big deal but after a while people warm to it, it has happened with all the recent models. I remember how surprised people were by the looks of the 550 when it came out and yet everyone loves that now. Being a designer for Ferrari must be such a difficult job IMO as you've got all those classic models to live up to. This will be a huge success and hits a new niche for the marque (depending on final pricing). I must admit the roof is a big success and the metallic blue comes out much better on the metal.

I think the only things I would change is the door handle placement, the alloy wheels and those horrid stacked exhaust pipes!

I think the initial press release photos shows the car in a very poor angle, with poor lighting, the same thing happened to the 599 as well. These newer photos are much better, the car looks more 3 dimensional, and the surfaces are more defined, thanks to the lighter metallic colour as well as improved lighting.

 

[coolraoul]

Still don't like it at all. Overdesigned side with a weak front and a tacky rear.
Still not a real fan of the 599, BTW.
And I still find the F430 not really good-looking.

What is weird is the fact that I quite like the Scaglietti...

I love the F430,scuderia and 599GTB and i hate the SC 612

Those who won't be able to get their hands on the F149 at MRSP. In big markets like Germany, UK and the US this car is selling out as we speak and till be marked up severely by dealers.

It's so amazing how the italian cars are so hyped about and difficult to obtain than it's german counters,even if the german ones costs alot more.
