It is just the way of the world. There was a time when if you wanted something like a Ferrari you could buy a Ferrari or you could buy the other type of Ferrari except that there was no other type. Nothing was in the same class that offered everything in one package.

But that is no longer the case, and a new breed of customer is out there that wants their cars to work all the time and they do not want to need to skip a house payment each time their car needs a new timing belt.

I blame Acura for the NSX which changed everything. You could have your fun and it was there when you wanted it, not when it decided to work.

There is also the issue of creature comfort. The last Ferrari I crammed myself into was a 308 and that did it for me. I think it also did it for a lot of others.

But if Ferrari is selling everything it is building then I don't expect them to change anything. Why should they?
