Rosso Corsa

I am looking to buy a 430 and drove a fantastic one today. The dealer has one similar a bit closer to my price range so hope to see that this week.
Anyway my question - Has there ever before been a Ferrari line up that is so ill suited to the 'stock' Ferrari colour of Red?
In the showroom today there was a black 612, a grey 599, black 430 and a black California. All looked fanatastic but all seemed slightly ill suited to a brighter colour.
Have the days of Red Ferraris being the obvious choice left us?

Yes, I think that many of the range now actually look better in other colours bar red.

However I still think the F430 is 'red' car

But I would still like to see a black one..

Obviously a highly subjective subject, but for me the 355 was last car to look 'best' in Red.

Where is the California and what "premium" are they asking? (unless it's at a Ferrari Main Dealer and not for sale)

the 430 i agree is a red car,but looks fab in other colours to,
the 599 isnt a red car! it looks good in black/white 355 looks good in one colour silver

I think some cars look better in other colours i.e. the 599 looks better in Black.
