Australian Deliveries

Things I loved straight away include Si4 engine and quality of cabin. Rear vision not great but mirrors are excellent. Paddle shift is fun and the whole look and feel is very exciting.

Things I don't like. The fact that is parked at Sydney Airport and the keys are with the valet guy - other that not much at this stage.

In such a rush almost forgot to insure it and had to make the call from the dealer!

Looking forward to returning tomorrow night and getting to know it.

Congrats on getting the car. Looking forward to get the real world Australia perspective.

You hope its still parked at Sydney airport.. rather than in the valet's driveway at home..

Benzina, have you got a build date from your dealer. I have a Nov build too (supposedly) but the dealer has no build date yet. Not much time let in November for a build

The delay has done one thing for me, allowed me the chance to get the contrast roof.. lol..

Barneyridge, when i questioned my dealer about this, all he said they knew is that it is schedualed for a november build ,and that their was no actual date in their information. This question was put to them in the first week of this month,and in the middle,but still it was in that holding pool.
I've wanted to call again to see if their is any news, but i'm refraining till next month so i'm not a pain.
Technically, if ours is still in the holding pool next month, then we have ourselves a delay, and i will start to wonder about the late january delivery.
So far,i'm hoping that no news is good news, and that Australian allocated orders are on schedual.

Yeah the delay has allowed me to get the Contrast Pano Roof as well..

I know it would be cheaper to get it wrapped.. but lets face it... If its not factory fitted I have trouble motivating myself to let go off my car for a bit.... cause i want to drive it all the time.

I might speak to dealer tomorrow and take advantage of the possible opportunity to upgrade to 20 inch wheels rather than the 19's

has ANYONE in AUS ordered a Firenze?!!

All I see on carpoint and the like are just black, white and orkney grey - few silvers...

no red yet... and I am dying to see one in the flesh! Probably not in the right part of the country to actually see many given our lack of population compared to the Eastern States.

Hi chiggy,

we have ordered the Fuji white but back in september the wife and I visited the factory in Halewood and there were a lot of Firenzes rolling through the lines, that is 1 hot colour, definatley would not be disappointed. Also saw 1 driving around Moore Park Sydney last Saturday and it looked even better driving then sitting still.

this was the firenze i saw at Barbagallo's last month.. or month before.. its taking so long i cant keep track
