Ferrari California

I might get lynched for this one, but let me explain myself... This car appears for the same reason as the Lexus IS-C - as an example of why a folding hardtop may not always be the best idea. Sure - they did a great job of packaging the roof in such a small area. But the resulting tall, bulbous rear end give the car a budonkadonk that isn't very sleek or svelte. Roof up it looks even more extreme.

Not a huge fan of the stacked tailpipes either. They make the tall rear end look even taller. But at least they're real (sorry again Lexus).

Sidenote: Ferrari - please bring back the quad tail lights.
