OK, what is going on? whats the inside story  What financial crisis? Ferrari is expecting record sales in 2008 and at its Ferrari California debut at the 2008 Paris Motor Show today, the Italian automaker said it has sold out of the convertible until 2011. Ferrari has sold the entire 2009 and 2010 production of the $246,724 hard-top California. According to Ferrari’s boss Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, 60 percent of buyers who have ordered the car have never bought a Ferrari. Montezemolo said that Ferrari will not be increasing production to meet demand and will continue with the 2,800 units planned for 2009 and the 3,000 planned for 2010. Refresher: Power comes from a 4.3L V8 producing 460 horsepower engine mated to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission. 0-60 comes in just under 4 seconds with a top speed of 193mph  more pics. link title |

Replying to: rockshocka1 (Oct 03, 2008 6:35 pm)  Again, don`t let my minor irritations, be taken too seriously....It`s just when I carry a car to the dealer, then I expect the whole car to be taken car of at one time----I don`t know how Lexus would handle it now, as I haven`t been there in three years, but the last time I had trouble , they took care of the whole thing , and I never had to even think about it...I really think Audi is coming along...I`l talk with Bill the servic guy to try and explaing how they could improve---particularly with the high end----and maybe they will take my thoughts to heart....If I were really upset, I would say so, and change cars....Tony

Replying to: tagman (Oct 03, 2008 9:04 pm) Agreed. I also love the E-type, but I don't plan to ever buy one. I would buy an XK150 first. If I were to win the lottery, the first car I would buy would be one of those pre-wars, just so I could stare at it without having to go to Pebble Beach.

Replying to: tagman (Oct 03, 2008 8:59 pm) I'm sure it will be basically identical to the coupe. The G's interior is competitive, which can't really be said of the old car, but its not up to the best yet. Based on what they've shown they can do with the EX35, the next G could be right up there with the A4. The FX on the other hand is just kind of weird looking on the inside, so who knows. |

Well, for starters prices in Miami and Phoenix area have dropped by over 40% the last time I checked. Miami takes the worst hit. Alas despite the extreme property tax for non-residents, it doesnt stop foreign millionaires from China and Canada to swoop in and buy pretty much every house for sale. |

Replying to: anthonyp (Oct 04, 2008 9:42 am) I don't care if it is high for every home owners, but they seem to nail only the non res pretty good. Everyone seems to think the bottom is around 2009... Btw, I saw the DRL LEDs on a A3 yesterday on the road and I don't care too much for them. I've seen those on the A4 and A5 in pictures, and they don't look that nice either. On the other hand, those on the R8 are the best.

Replying to: 2001gs430 (Oct 05, 2008 3:40 am) I have a mixed reaction to them. This is because I see a Vegas-style bling factor going on. I think that's the eye-candy that initially is grabbing our oohs and aahs, and they are certainly attention grabbers. But ultimately Vegas bling "rope lighting" tends to turn me off after a while. TM
