    Nope, but the reviews I've seen aren't positive.

    As I've said in the past it all depends on which car are we talking about.

    I'm also against innovation that interferes in the driving exprience.

    Nice pics of the car dydzi - I'm gonna poke around the site.

    Mind you, when drakkie linked his website, someone called it spam I think this adds to UCP and frankly uploading them to UCP would be a pain.

    EDIT: It's been a while since I looked at the California, and you have some more angles than the press shots had, and I have come to the realization that this car at least visually has no saving grace - at first I thought the backside was alright but I have reneged this view. This car is ugly and has a foldy metal roof and is fat but apparently it is good.

    This is quite a facelift. I may even be tempted to consider one (if I had the money).

    Actually no, I wouldn't. I wouldn't spend whatever it costs on a soft, turbo, automatic plastic housewives car.

    But nice facelift indeed.

    There's nothing wrong with a soft convertible. I'd just rather a Maser GT instead of this.

    It's good. An engine more suited to the weight of the car, and a less gurning face on the front. The fact that it's a bit soft and a but automatic is besides the point for us - we're not the target market for it. Think of it in terms of enabling the other products, and it's a much more preferable situation than an SUV. Personally I hope it sells pretty strongly without overpowering the other models.

    A Ferrari is not supposed to be soft and wallowy.

    Is it actually soft and wallowy or is it soft and wallowy for a Ferrari? I mean, it's clearly no 90s Caddilac, and it's probably more connected to the road than a 275GTC. Or a Daytona.

    These days, even a Kia Picanto is more connected to the road than a Daytona. Probably.

    I'm sorry but if a Ferrari doesn't break down all the time, gives you a backache and and headache it is not worth of the name. I mean, it would be like BMW making a front wheel drive car.
