Twin turbo v8 sounds intriguing. Looking forward to it.

This is opposite of the reception the Cali-T is having on Fchat. Care to expand on your opinion/experience?

I don't think it will be a facelift.
IMO it will be the 458 replacement which will be based on the 458(like the F430 was on the 360).

not sure what one of the posters was smoking when he said he saw and heard a caliT and it sounded good because, for lack of a better description, it sounded like dog shit when i drove it during car week.

I think the original California was awkward and tacky (the stacked exhaust pipe sum it up for me). I think the new car is much more sophisticated. After seeing it in the flesh, the sharper nose and LED taillights give it a more 'Ferrari' look.

Bare in mind I have not owned a California nor am I in the market for one. I have my eyes set either on the F80 M3 or 991 Carrera S.
