Somehow, though they remain aristocratically "above the fray" and scramble 
for filthy lucre, Ferrari's new Enzo model was 100% sold out prior to even 
being on the market.  I think GM's shareholders would think they'd died and 
gone to heaven if they were enjoying sales results like that!

BTW, isn't Ferrari owned by FIAT and Porsche by VW?  Or am I on the wrong 
page again?
