2009 Ferrari California Spyder

Both Road Test Editor Keith Buglewicz and Managing Editor Karla Galik – obviously the two on staff with the most impeccable taste – found themselves lusting equally over the new 2009 Ferrari California Spyder at the 2008 L.A. Auto Show. Really, can you blame them? The car is beautiful, with sleek lines that echo the more expensive 599, but with a unique character. The interior is expertly designed, with only the highest quality materials throughout. Hey, GM and Ford; know how you’re bragging that the Cadillac CTS and Lincoln MKS have leather-covered dashes? No they don’t...this has a leather covered dash, from the edge of the windshield to where it meets your knees. It also has 460 horsepower going through its F1-inspired paddle-shifted seven-speed transmission. The only significant difference: Keith lusted after the Ferrari in red, while Karla was smitten by the powder blue California Spyder. -- Keith Buglewicz , Road Test Editor and Karla Galik, Managing Editor
