Anche Belissima!

Ferrari makes some of the most fantastic cars on the planet. In recent years they have focused their efforts on performance above all else, which is admirable. But most of the old school Ferrari faithful wish that there was more attention paid to style and detail. Personally, the last Ferrari that I considered to be good looking was the 355 which looks like an antique these days. Park an F430 next to any of his price rivals, like an Aston DB9 or a Lamborghini Gallardo, and this lack of real style becomes very apparent. Ferrari used to make drop dead gorgeous cars like the 365 Californias and Daytonas of the 50's and 60's but that was a long time ago.

Here is the new Ferrari California. The California is the new "cheap" Ferrari which should cost some where around $120,000...which is cheap for a Ferrari. But not only that....it's actually rather good looking. Ferrari chose not to sully that classic California moniker and make something beautiful. The cheapest Ferrari is the prettiest Ferrari....odd.
