You know what is so funny … every one who cant afford a Ferrari, not even a California, say’s that is ugly, IT IS A GREAT CAR and you know what? you can use it on a day by day basis, more than that after 25.000 Km the roof still works, and more to come, on a mountain road … like the ones on the Alps no the jerky straight roads in US, it is fantastic, the engine is perfect, the steering response is great the car is a very very good one great fun to drive, does not give you that wide impression of a supercar … And for the guy who said that they are in California and they dont need a roof … well budy you need a roof if you know how to drive a Ferrari, but I guess you dont need one if you are driving a lazy ass prehistoric aged american convertible … A … 5.0L V8 who cant go past 60 MPH.
Come on people … get a life.

Oh and for the writer you are right … there are some who say that this is a ugly car … and you are right the ones who afford it dont care what others are saying, they buy it and enjoy it.

Noisy with the roof down. Conversations are easy above the noise with roof up.
Seven speed double clutch gears easy to use driving manually.

Own an SL55AMG. Drove the new SL63AMG, Audi R8 and now two days driving Ferrari California. The Ferrari is the best car that I have ever driven, comfortable, noisy beyond believe. Will never reach its potential in Australia on our roads.

Good point about the double stack exhaust. Although, I bet Ferrari have made all four pipes actually real and not only two.

ANTI-SPAM word: Maserati
I can’t help but wonder if this car should’ve being badged as a Maserati, funny that is the anti-spam word for me.

Anyways, the styling is still butt ugly for me, and i have seen it in real life and on the road a few times. I can’t imagine this being used everyday as a GT car either, especially like mentioned above, i wonder about the reliability of an italian made roof as complicated as this. I think i’ll have to agree with JC on times UK that MB SL is a better choice.

Wait, a six-speed manual is available? That’s the first I’ve heard of it.

What a great car. My only concern is that everyone lost it at Lexus for doing the double deck exhaust but no-one has mentioned it on this… Just proves how many Lexus haters there are out there…

The rear is a little bit busy. Could be a lot cleaner but a beautiful car overall.

I also think it looks brilliant, yeah the rear is a little large but so is Beyonce’s and noone complains.
