    Well sure. A Maserati would never stoop so low as manual labor .

    That's an awesome commercial. I love the sounds of some of the older models.

    Wow, that's a really nice commercial (if you can call it that). By far the coolest I've ever seen...

    The company, in its time, has produced some very nice cars which I appreciate and enjoy - most of those are from the '50s and '60s.

    Those days are long since passed, however.

    Over a decade of uninspiring road cars, coupled with an F1 racing effort continually blighted by underhand tactics, disreputable behaviour and near endless allegations of foul play and the devaluation of the brand by slapping the logo on anything anyone will buy, from phones, shoes, toilet-roll holders...

    "Ferrari" doesn't mean much to me.

    So much for not devaluating the brand
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Whether you believe the numerous allegations to be true or not, it still degrades their reputation.

    If they were totally innocent, why would there be almost non-stop controversy?

    If anyone other than Schumacher had parked up at Monaco last year, would the immediate reaction of the paddock and the press have been to assume that it was an intentional ploy to disrupt the results of qualifying?

    Because there have been so many dubious incidents involving the same people, there is a prevailing expectation that Ferrari are in the wrong somehow.
