Fail car is fail

Ugly car is ugly

American named car is american named (synonymous with fail car is fail)

Ugly like so many other Ferraris. Failcar is fail. The Bueller one looked alright, but it's best to leave a classic like that instead of ripping off your own work.

Elaborate. Otherwise, your post is just...useless,

Ferraris are made of fucking win.

Agree.

But that one is ugly.

disappointing indeed...

It's a pity that Ferrari, who once claimed to be manufacturing the best cars in the world, is slipping so. Lately (the past 15 years), we've seen some nice cars (Testarossa, 599 GTB Fiorano), and some really, really ugly ones (F355, F430, 612 Scaglietti, Enzo). What is it with Ferrari making better-performing cars, with amazing mechanical innards, but with the kind of exterior you'd see, well, in a kids' book?

If one looks at the cars, one will see that the so-called aerodynamism of the "ugly" cars stated above has taken precedence over beauty? What happened to the beauties of the 60s and the early 80s? Those air scoops on the F430's front bumper make me shudder. The ugly squareness of the F355 was worse. WHy couldn't they keep the Testarossa? That one had style. The 612 looks like a transatlantic liner that's probably excellent for hitting 300 klicks on a straight line, the kind you only get on rainy days in western Germany. And I won't even go on about the Enzo. Sure, it goes fast. Sure, it's powerful. Sure, its way overproces. But does it look nice? NYET!!! It looks like a NASA experiment gone wrong and that can't take off.

And now, we get this "California". As was said above, gay name. As we ca nsee by the front, Paris Hilton's next car. As we can see by the performance, her insurance agent's nighmare. But tell me, what's the point of rolling out this piece of styling disaster? Ferrari already has the F430, the Scuderia, the Spider, which have better performance, look marginally better, and cost about the same? Does this sound like GM putting on the market a series of identical cars? Of course, it has a different layout, new tech, all the supposedly good stuff. But what's it purpose?

I apologize to those who feel slighted by this attack upon a high-class automaker such as Ferrari. But, in all honesty, I beg you to consider this idea of mine; for value and style, and the maximum performance you'll be able to use on 99% of roads, why not buy a DBS, a Vantage, or my personal favourite, the Audi R8-RS??

As people are bitching about the name...



This new 250 is made as a homage to this, the very limited edition Ferrari 250 GT California, which was made in 1961. So, actually, this name has been around alot longer than some of the more recognisable modern ones (read: Scuderia etc).

I recall reading somewhere that Ferrari were trying to chose a car to remake, and they chose this. There are like 2 of the originals left, valued at some insane price (read: $1m+), so stop fucking bitching.

Also, you can't judge a car unless you see it in the flesh..

Enzo is ugly?What the hell?

Yup. Have a look at one IRL, you'll see what I mean. Speed was the prime design criterion, not aesthetics.

And you would say no if someone were to give you one completely free? Free insuarance, servicing, petrol..everything?

Thought not.

Of course I would not say no. You'd be hard pressed to find a single car to which I would say no. Mind you, I'd probably sell it.

lol at any hater. If someone offered this to to you you teabag those seats in a heartbeat.

Actually I would sell it, straight away. Why would I be interested in a womans car? Something you aint telling jsnipy?

id swerve that....womans car or not, its better than what 99% of the world carts their fat asses around in.

What's the price tag? I'd buy something else with the money, depending on how much it costs

And, whatever the ill-informed speculation elsewhere in the blogosphere might have said, it's not a bottom-end Ferrari. It'll cost somewhere around, maybe a little above, the price of a 430 Spider.
