Attended the Ferrari California Launch Party Tonight

[Bimmerista]

Tons of high-end cars to say the least. The Ferrari California was indeed a lot better looking in person than I imagined. I was the 4th person to sit inside of it at a party of 150 people. Its still no e30 though. :shifty

Onto the pics...sorry if they're crappy quality, all I had was a simple point & shoot with me.





















Some of the cars the guests were driving...

Mercedes 300SL


Alfa 8C

How do you even get an 8C in to this country??

I've never seen so many F430s/360s in that same place. But then again, it's a Ferrari release party so I suppose it makes sense.

It looks like they took the top and one set of doors off a Maseratti Gran Turismo. Not at all a bad thing though.

And yes I know Ferrari owns Maseratti.

Edit:

For comparison

[Jand3rson]

Yet another seriously boring looking new Ferrari.

Might I inquire as to what you were doing at this release party?

[ZM Blue Devil]

Alfa is sexy

[JasonC]

Reminds me of a Pontiac Solstice. :neutral:

LOL @ the Chrysler MyGig radio they installed into that car... I think EVERY single one of those radios fails at least once a year...

[CorvallisBMW]

^^Holy crap, they're identical! How does Ferrari sink to using the same supplier as Chrysler?

[SamE30e]

Same radio that comes in a Dodge Journey, just with a ferrari badge.

You do have to remember that this will be Ferrari's dime-a-dozen car, AKA "ultimate bling car."

I guess, but imagine how pissed all these Ferrari owners are going to be when their radio quits working or loses all their downloaded music at random? I know because I work at a Chrysler/Jeep dealer and I've re-flashed or replaced at least 100 of these radios in the last year. 2 months after this radio came out, our tech advisors had 2 pages typed front and back of problems with the MyGig.

At least the rest of the car looks nice!

[CleanAzzE30z]

I dunno, it feels wierd but these cars dont really do anything for me in my naughty bits.
