Still like the original California better than this California. It is due to replace the 612 Scaglietti and will probably become the entry level model when they redo the F430 in 2010. I agree with others that this is Ferrari's desperate attempt to attract a larger customer base. Not only that it looks girly, it's also the first FR Ferrari to get something less than a V12......

Anyways, b/s aside, I would still own / drive one if given the chance

I think that summons up the sentiment of most people who can't afford one.

It doesn't look so bad, and I suppose it's good for brand image and sales if they can have a less intense model in the lineup. (And use the profits to develop more tech for the racier models) But why oh WHY did they put RICE AS HELL stacked exhaust tips on it?!?!?!?! It's not a freaking IS-F or riced out import. Though I suppose if Ferrari is doing it, it's not rice anymore and now a valid and probably soon to be very popular design decision.
