Great Ferrari/Shell ad - but after seeing some of their business practices I'm really starting to not like Ferrari as a company - regardless of product. I think Im more of a Lambo guy.

Just a lot of little things..

Sueing everyone that extensively modifies their F cars (Koenig, the guy in UK with the F360 limo, etc.) - Ferrari makes the owners remove all badging. Sueing replica owners (check out some Ebay ads for kit cars - they have to redact all the Ferrari references) - understandable to a degree, but also silly since its obviously not a real Ferrari and who can really afford/find a 365 anyway? Invitation only purchases on cars, their produce one less than demand concept, special lease deals with special cars (550 Barchetta had to be 'leased' meaning it could only be sold back to Ferrari allthough you own the car for the first two years..)- etc.

Just overall very off putting - but Im getting way OT.

the car guy in me doesnt like that either, but at the moment i am happy with them for the resistance they are putting up to the FIA and the new 2010 F1 rules.


(they protect their brand just like any other high end luxury company - that is the part i dont like)

What changes are they implementing now? Seems like they're changing too many things lately, I can't keep up
