this car seems under powered
March 30th, 2010 at 9:16 pm
yes, it’s a 2+2
March 30th, 2010 at 9:48 pm

I saw one in the flesh yesterday, omg it’s stunning, possibly the nicest looking car you’ll see !
March 30th, 2010 at 11:01 pm
no, just 2 seater, rear shelf
March 30th, 2010 at 11:23 pm

2+2 seating??
March 31st, 2010 at 12:51 am
well the 300c navigation is one of the best

The Cali is faster from 0-100 km/h than the F430.. but on a track the F430 is faster.. but you can’t compare those cars, they have two different purposes..
March 31st, 2010 at 2:29 am
The answer is the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano or a Lambo Gallardo. If not.. then the F430. Standard one.
March 31st, 2010 at 2:29 am
i agree, it is very very nice.
March 31st, 2010 at 2:35 am
i would take the california or wait for the 458 spider.
March 31st, 2010 at 3:15 am
Nice car but it is basically a Ferrari badged Maserati GT, which is designed and built by Ferrari anyway, adding another product line to the Ferrari line up
March 31st, 2010 at 3:31 am
i say go 4 da ferrari F430 Spider… its beast
March 31st, 2010 at 3:48 am
It’s not even close.. the 430 SMOKES the California in every way and is far more beautiful to look at.
March 31st, 2010 at 4:31 am
I think the California would be better
Because though the F430 is faster and more agile
You won’t have many chances to try it out (unless you have access to a track)
Go for the California
March 31st, 2010 at 5:23 am
I’m stuck F430 spider or California.
F430 is more powerful, agile, MUCH better looking, midengine, lighter, and is better suited for performance over all, California is more practical, has 4 seats so you can cruise with a few friends, more comfortable and has a convertible hardtop

Why is there a dark border around the video.
March 31st, 2010 at 5:44 am
@dekster14LP HAHAHA ur hilarious, this car is BEAUTIFUL, I love every aspect of this vehicle. the clean lines, the auto trans, the hard top, the navi, the engine, the look, the color, and the quietness when driving with the top down. I am a satisfied customer.

This car is ugly and that a huge minus.
