I am quite a big car fan… and usually have an opinion on most cars new or old, so when I got the Top Gear (very popular tv show here in UK… although it is also shown on international BBC stations… I think) announcing about a new ferrari with pictures, I had one of my opinions…
Now, Ferrari in my eyes are just about getting back on track of what a car should look like with the F430, the Enzo for me was horrible, yes its fast and has lots of features which are more suited to the F1 Ferrari but… no… pointless car, and you can buy (if you have enough money) a F430 which has nearly the same top speed as the Enzo (about 2mph less) so whats the point of the Enzo when the F430 looks far better…
(Right now I would like to point out, as its something I feel strongly about and don’t want to upset anyone or start a comment war… THESE ARE MY OWN OPINIONS, I understand that you may love the Enzo, which I’m not going to say your wrong, its your opinion… good for you. I’ts the same with the Xbox v Playstation v Wii debate which will never go away, I used to be very pro Playstation, but now I own a wii and a Xbox360 and couldnt care less which is better… its fun… thats what they are made for…)
Anyway the new Ferrari California (not the best name, but am still undecided on it) looks ok
but to me, the front looks slightly Maserati GranSport ish, but I do see a resemblence to the F355.
The rear though does look like a TVR and doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the cars looks. It just looks like an afterthought and a “how can we make the rear different?” meeting must have happened late one night. Annoyingly I have tried to find a picture which would be a good comparision, but unfortuantly so far I havnt apart from this picture
I will try and find better comparison shot.
I must be honest though, whilst writing this short post I have been looking at the California more and more and am now really starting to like it, the rear still bothers me and I don’t think it’s as good as a F430, the Calirornia almost looks like it was built to be included in OutRun, and driven on streets by the beach around lots of other beautiful people, and in a city where it never rains…
… well tomorrow I will be driving a new car a Toyota Yaris and im really excited…
