DESPITE MONTHS of angry denials, sources insist that Ferrari will launch its new entry-level 2+2 coupe before the end of this year. Word is that the new car, which Ferrari plans to debut at the Paris motor show in October, has a target price less than the F430's USD190,000. A name for the new front-engined car is still anyone's guess. California, Dino and Piccolina ("little one") are possibilities for what is now called the F149 inside Ferrari. Ferrari hasn't even confirmed the car's existence, much less verified its name, and there are no guarantees that it will ever wear a Ferrari badge (the Dino never did), which would make Ferrari's denials technically correct.
