Ferrari Mailing List: Re: LAFERRARI - What's in a name?

[Grahame Reinthal (grahame]

Actually, “la” is also used in Italian as the article “the”, so here it is “TheFerrari”. But I can think of at least 4 problems with the name. 1) Like the names “Ferrari Modena” or “Ferrari Italia” or “Ferrari Mondial”, etcetera, is it a “Ferrari LaFerrari”?  2) If this is THE Ferrari, what do you call the next one? 3) LaFerrari just sounds kind of silly to me (like – Laugher-rari). 4) If this is THE Ferrari, what does this say about all the predecessors?  Have they been relegated to obsolete and irrelevant junk?  I feel a bit offended!!  ;-)

 

Cheers,

Grahame

I truly like the new Ferrari. But I am really really disappointed  of the name. I've never ever questioned the names Ferrari gave to their cars. But this one is ridiculous.

Can you imagine DASBMW ? DASMERCEDES ? And any other car company giving a new car its own name!!!!

What were they thinking ?

Why don't we start to rename it ? Any suggestions ?
