    How much is basic list price f Cali in North America?

    To me the 150k dino would likely be a 200k car when optioned. Or make it 165k base and fit it with wheels that shame the car

    A cheaper Ferrari would be in Maserati's territory. I really don't know why people keep on going about such a thing...

    to me the Dino does not have to be sub 200 it just should be a smaller scale mid engine V6 of some type and offer a manual .. the idea would be to increase circulation some and have a car a little easier for the corp Cafe rules.... and make a pretty cool LITTLE sports car.....

    People always say that's what they want but they don't buy them.

    What they really want is a GT.

    If you look at 2 seat mid engine car sales in America, the number is really small. With the new mid engine Corvette coming probably under $150K, there's no room for a Dino at $200K

    You could have a sub-$200K MSRP Dino... if it was out right now. McLaren, Lamborghini, Audi, etc have sub-200K cars. But again, that's today. Those are out now and have been for several years.

    By the time the Dino shows up, the MSRP will probably not be much, if any, below $200K. Obviously MSRP becomes irrelevant though after you add options.

    Sorry, I dot see the link? No, an SUV is not OK and yet as the bottom line is the driving force, I understand the pure commercial case.

    The issue with an SUV or Crossover is that it's a truck. Buying a Ferrari is buying a race car derivative. Not a race truck. It's a death blow to the whole brand, that will take some years to kick in after the initial thrill of the product.

    Why again do they need to sell more and more cars, get hit with more and more green taxes, etc? I don't see the point.

    I agree. Being a dinosaur, the Ferrari IPO was, to me, a disaster and I posted so at the time. This is the inevitable outcome of being a public company whose primary aim is the bottom line.
