Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Need group wisdom on pricing for 2007 F430

Ayieeeeee - And that said, the Asian countries are VERY VERY good at 
copying - and in a hurry too.  I am surprised there isn't a KIA 458 Italia 
equivalent on the street yet.  Oh sure, may not hold a candle to the true 
Ferrari car quality (you know, like sticky rubber interior parts and 
shrinking leather dashes) BUT they will look like a Ferrari to my 91 y/o 
mother and she would never appreciate the price difference vs. build.
