    I agree with you! I think it's going to be a great car and fit into the overall portfolio very nicely. Nice to have choices within the marque.

    The complaints on this forum are typical of many forums and group thinks... people start revelling in the negativity and try to out-wit one another with hyperbole. I got an email from a fellow that is at the factory today to review the car. He indicated it is really stunning in person.

    The negativity is right in line with other Ferrari launches. I remember when the 360 was introduced. The outcry was amazing. The scorn heaped on Ferrari for the "twin nostril" design, faults with everything from the size to the headlights to the rear... etc. etc. Now it is viewed as the way "Ferrari's should be designed" by many.

    Bottom line: Buy what you enjoy. Buy the car and drive it with passion. If it does it for you that's all that matters. Who cares what some negative fool pontificates about?

    Finally...!!! I was waiting for someone to Photoshop it in black. Looks awesome - of course...! Thank you. Any chance you can black out those wheels, tint the windows, and smoke the lenses...? :)

    Is this car for real? This design actually makes the 599gtb look good.

    Some of us still think its a poor design.

    Personally I like the front end of the Cali...it looks like a Ferrari. The rear however is hideous and like the 360s 'twin nostrils' Im sure I will always find it hideous.

    But as we all say...to each his own. I hope the true Ferrari enthusiasts that buy them enjoy them.

    The fixed roof design is very Mercedes SL. I haven't made up my mind, not that it matters.

    - Chinese brake/reverse lower lights
    - Cheap japanese style wheels
    - Corvette side mirrors
    - Awful tail pipes
    - They try to build a yuppie car and forgot to put a keyless entry
    - Awful plastic side vents
    - not nice engine bay

    For me is a step backwards for Ferrari.

    The rear end might look better with a rear registration plate in place to break up the black panel.
