Cool First Ferrari California in North Dallas?

I was driving through Carrollton, TX (leaving my apartment, which is right behind the Boardwalk Ferrari Dealership), and I see a very distinct color of red and a shape of a headlight that I haven't seen in person before...



So I said, "hey, that looks like a California!

I let it get in front of me and took a few pictures, steering with one hand a a knee...


(I know my car is dirty, I'm about to leave for a road-trip to Austin in a few minutes)







The car looks great in person, not necessarily like a supercar... but it is very James Bond suave.

Very cool spotting in my opinion, I bet it just arrived this week...

Nice spot. I'm still not a fan, but I haven't seen one in person yet.

Still not a fan of the rear end. Maybe it'd look better in TDF blue?

A Ferrari is supposed to look purposeful and confident. This rear end signals nothing of that. It looks goofy, clueless and overdone. A real shame...

Nice spot. I have yet to see one on the street.

Very high off the ground! What shocks me each time I park and walk away from my 360 is how low and flat it is. So stealth. Almost like it's not real.

I think that if someone really likes and appreciates the older Ferraris - like the original Californias - they will appreciate this modern version. I see a lot of the vintage Ferrari in it.

Hell, I would love one! But for its price, it is way down the list of alternatives.
