IE 6.0 with Medium Security set, and all I get is a blank, dark grey background.

Basically, the very first thing the page tries to do is open up a popup window that runs a Java script.

Try this:
http://www.ferrari.com/cgi-bin/fworld.dll/...s/goferrari.jsp
But you won't get very far with that, either, since the language selection part is Java too.

The English site:
http://www.ferrari.com//cgi-bin/fworld.dll...anguage=ENGLISH

Microsoft recently released a JVM update, maybe it and/or the Ferrari site has some issues.

Basically, Ferrari's website sucks, and has always sucked. It's one of the most godawful slow, unwieldy, muddled, inaccessable pieces of website crap I've ever had the misfortune to navigate.

Hmm, tried it again after the VM update ... works perfect for me.

IE 6.0.2800.1106 on Windows XP Pro.

I've seen the Maserati Coupe in person, the Spyder being a drop-top version thereof, and it looks absolutely nothing like an S2000.

They build georgeous automobiles. Designing a user friendly website is of little concern to them, I'm sure. It should be.

While were on sucky automotice websites, I've always thought that Lamborghini's Murcielago could have been better viewed online.
