Exactly. You sir, get it.

from what I've read, it'll be priced higher than the F430 Spyder and just below the 612 Scaglietti. Perhaps somewhere in the $250K-$300K range...

Doesn't make sense, this is supposed to be the entry level car isn't it? At that price range why even bother just go with a 599.

I love it BTW, and the tips works much better on this than they do on the IS-F.

I don't think this is their entry level. I heard they are bringing back the Dino as their entry.

It doesn't look like a Ferrari somehow.. Headlights are a bit Mazdaish and the back end? Don't know about this one. Who will buy this over the F430 and the new LP560, at this price??

Uh, no, they scrapped the whole Dino thing. I don't see how this could slot above the F430 considering it will have less horsepower, and is built on the Maserati platform.

Looks good IMO, the ISF tips are tacky and fake on the Lexus, not even connected to the muffler. This stacked ehauast im sure is muuuch more developed being as Ferrari made it.

The tips are growing on me, I just don't like those shoulder hump things on the side. They look kinda odd from the front 3/4. The rest of the car is pretty nice.

Based on this article, price is expected to start very close to the F430, which in Italy is EUR$159k:

http://www.egmcartech.com/2008/05/13...s-than-4-secs/

And I have read it somewhere the next F430 replacement will move up a notch in price. Make sense to me. So this California will be the entry model Ferrari. Despite unfavorable current exchange rate, I hope the California will still start below US$200k. Better yet, I wish they will make a coupe version with manual transmission and priced below US$150k There, here's your Dino

great looking car. elegant and sleek but still keeping the orginal early model Ferrari feeling. The original California Spiders just were stunning
