I've heard of people actually having their number on the list grow as more "VIP's" get bumped ahead. |

I believe that there will be a few changes to the current 360 in 2004-2005 or so. Perhaps going to a 4.2 litre engine as is used in the Maserati now, maybe a few styling changes, but nothing major. Major replacement probably in 2008-2009 as was said earlier. Call your dealer now and ask what their policy is. |

I waited 14 months for my 360 coupe and 11 months for the Spider.
Separate lists are already forming for the 360 replacement(I know because I'm already on one). And at my dealer it is a completely different list. Just because someone is on the 360 list doesn't mean this customer will be automatically transfered to this 360 replacement list. Each dealer can do whatever they want with the "lists". There is no FNA policy on lists.
Willis is correct, get on the list early if you want or think you want a car. Some dealers do not require a deposit to get on the list. |

I was on the list for 1 year and 2 months before I got my car. I considered myself lucky in that some people behind me had to wait 6 more months or longer to get theirs. The lesson is that if you want a car, get in line early. |

What about the Modena? Do you have to wait half a decade for that? Few years? |

The replacement is likely something that looks very similar. Just look the the 308/328s and the 348/355s.
I can see a big new model coming in 2008 or 2009 when the 360 and successor is overhauled completely.
I guess they will flip the list over to the successor of the 360.

The remaining place holders on the waiting list would probably be given an option to roll the position into the replacement model.
The big question now is what will be the 360 replacement? Are they going to do a Modificata model as they've done with the 456, 512TR, and 550? Or will they do something a bit more radical? Either way, I think the waiting list will be long. |

At some dealers, it appears that the 360 Spider waiting list is probably longer than the production run.
What is everyone's best guess at how much longer the 360 Spider will be in production? And the logic behind the guess.
What happens to the remaining people on the list when the 360 is discontinued? Does each dealer decide or is there some national policy?
The 360 was a big depature from Ferrari traditional lines. Does the list think the 360 replacement will have such a big waiting list?
Thanks!
