    Im 5 ' 10". If I was 6" taller the cabin might feel tight.

    The tech look wasn't perfect. I like the high-def instrument panel screen. Gave the cabin a fresh feel. The plastic capacitive mirror and
    start button looked little cheap. It might grow on me. The iPad type control panel could have been integrated better.

    The new tech is adopted and changing at a fast rate. It will all be gone and renewed in a few years. Its never perfect. Maybe the italians thought the iPad look was cool. After all, they don't get a lot of chances to implement these techie things.

    Thank goodness the mannetino was kept.

    Overall seems the plan for the Roma was to fuse old retro and new. All looking back might not have worked. Roma plan was good.

    I test drove the Roma too a couple of weeks ago...didn't notice a big difference between comfort&sport, didn't try the race mode cool they have the manatino with race mode and off for the track ... great pickup when floored but doesn't scream as a F8 ..some new scroll features on the steering wheel.

    I think removing the start/stop button is a missed opportunity as this would have been the perfect retro touch to maintain. I am guessing the design team had many sleepless nights over this but ended up removing it based on electronics being integrated in the wheel and complications and costs that come with adding an additional design element and associated electrical module.

    One thing I should add is my wife, who was not all that impressed with pictures of the Roma, was completely blown away by it when she saw it in person. I think her exact quote was, ‘this car is f**king gorgeous’.

    I think you’re spot on because when you look at the rest of the steering wheel on the Roma, the configuration of the Start/Stop button makes sense.

    Seems like the classic choice for calipers would be understated (black or silver) on titanio...

    They are perfect, I agree. Elegant and timeless. Wonder if they are standard finish or chrome painted in that photo? On the configurator both options look virtually the same.

    Yes, see post #3092 here. The closest he could get to the F50 paint color Rosso Barchetta!

    did you happen to get the serial number so I could pull the full options list? I work for a dealer. Let me know. Thanks!

    I have a customer going with Rosso California and he is not a fan Cuoio which most of our customers tend go with on a Rosso California build. What interior color would you do with Rosso California?
