Does This HELP or HURT The Brand? Paris Hilton Acquires An Italian Stallion, No Not Another Guy

Paris Hilton is known more for her sex tapes than her automobile collection, but from what we've seen she actually has pretty good taste when it comes to picking out a set of wheels. Not only have we seen her puttering around town in the Lexus LFA, Bentley Continental GT, and Mercedes-Benz McLaren SLR, now she's snapped up a Ferrari.

To be more specific, a California.

Though we would have spec'd out a 458 Italia, there isn't such a thing as a "bad Ferrari."

That said, can there be a bad owner? Does Paris Hilton do harm to the Ferrari brand or is it worse when Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino picks up a F430 Spider?

Most people around America were searching for Black Friday bargains in the middle of one of the worst economic downturns in history.

But life remains remarkably simple for heiress Paris Hilton, who paraded around town in her brand new Ferrari last night.

The 30-year-old reality star clearly loves her new wheels, which she had bought from the comfort of her own home.

*sigh*... posting the same response from when this was asked about Ronnie from Jersey Short and his BMW...

"Parris Hilton owns a Mercedes SLR, and trust me, it did absolutely nothing to alter my perception of the car. If anything, it altered my perception of her." (I guess that's owned now)

Though I'm thinking she has good taste in cars, or advisors at this point.

Good Taste? C'mon now. What cars in the price range of 200k to 400k would dictate bad taste? Millionaires buying Ferrari's isn't a matter of taste. It's expected.
