My guess is September. I don't think any US dealers are submitting any formal orders until Fall. Most likely they would want the PR to hit about the same time.

Europe of course would be earlier.

Friend of mine did a factory tour two weeks ago and saw no F12's on the production line, production is only due to start mid July according to the tour guide.

Indeed, might be a little while... But I'm looking forward to them when they start rolling out later in the year.

More specifically, I'm looking forward to the reviews by UK journalists. Most US-based ones don't produce as impressive video reviews as our UK brethren.

Thinking Europe will see the first reviews in the Fall, but it will be in some fancy location with everyone in turn borrowing the one car held off for the press. (Just like the 458, 599 GTO, Cali 30 HS, and FF in recent years). Will probably take a while longer for the more local road tests which tend to be a bit more thorough and objective (journalists have had time too settle with the car actually being out for sale and are not super excited to be among the first in the world to drive it). I mean Autocars first UK drive of the FF was now recently this Spring, so yeah next Spring should have a lot of "local" road tests and test drives pop up, even though The first 5 star 10/10 ratings will appear this Fall IMO. I expect to see the car midway through the next season Top Gear (UK) which returns in 2013.

Yeah EVO and Autocar (I think TopGear too) have all posted "first drives" the last couple of day's.
