458 Spyder or this?

[Mr.Cambio]

May i replace the 458 with the California??

 

[BennyD]

I wouldn't Nikos. It may be good but, IMO, the California isn't in the same league as the 458. In fact I preferred driving the Grancabrio to the Cali. I know it boils down to personal preference but a 458 spider is the way forward.

 

[Parisien]

Yup....458 it is.................head and shoulders above anything else at the moment........

That said, I would rather have a 360 over a 355. A 360CS would be the first car I would buy if I ever won the lottery. Then I would work my way through the current Maserati range!

360 CS is totally different, i would buy one of those just for the noise alone, the different bumpers on the CS give the 360 the look it should have always had.

I would not buy a California, it it pretty pointless to be honest as it is not a proper 4 seater. The boot is good but that is the only real good selling point it has. Interior is nothing special. Grancab all day long and pocket the 40k in change.

 

[dem maser]

more than 40k in change aint it??

 

[GransportFan1]

probably is, a good spec Grancab is about 95-100k, Cali starts at 143k.

 

[dem maser]

50k......thats a GTS aswel......

 

[GransportFan1]

Or a GTS and 360 Challenge Stradale.

 

[dem maser]

we could do this all day.....

 

[Mr.Cambio]

To me the Cali exterior is far more sexy than the Grancabrio (and with this reply, i'm out of the sportsmaserati forum...!!). The 458 is of course something else, it's a wild thing, but if my thought was for a wild thing, i'd choose the MC Stradale..I had a drive on a mountain near Athens, and on my way i saw a white 458.

I never liked the California but again have changed my mind..It looks great in the flesh and is a proper Ferrari to drive if you believe what the press say..............Adam, you say its pointless...Aren't all the sort of cars we like pointless in this day and age.......A car that can do 150 mph let alone 200 mph is pointless...But its our passion that makes them desirable to us....

 

[GransportFan1]

well what i meant to say was as a 4 seater the Cali is pretty pointless.

 

[dem maser]

A 2.0d is all you need in the real world but its the little silly side of us that make us buy these cars.....

 

[Mr.Cambio]

+10000 dem!

 

[dem maser]

Hahahahahaha

 

[Andyk]

well what i meant to say was as a 4 seater the Cali is pretty pointless.

Didn't even realise there was more than two seats in the California.......Will say though Adam when you have two very small children they do make sense.....

 

[dem maser]

Im thinking that.....im even looking at the GTV thinking its alright if i have it and have to go somewhere with the baby....

The MX5 now has to go.....get the mrs a car to use....

 

[Andyk]

Dem, my kids fit ion the back of the GTV just fine......2 and 5 year old....In fact they love being in there.......Even my sister fitted in there at the weekend as long as you don't have a lanky person in the front seat...
