"most" people who do not like the 360 nose have been in this country where drastic esthetic changes are always difficult to swallow. I was in Europe last week and also at Maranello. No one ever mentions the "ugly" 360 nose. Moreover, Ferrari does not conduct "focus groups" like other manufacturers (remember focus groups produced the Pontiac Aztec). I think Ferrari will continue to showcase their technology and gutsy design in 8-cyl and small production runs (Enzo) and will stay more conservative in the 12cyl heavies. My money is on a (Superleggiera) light weight 360 as the next iteration. As a side note, I was really surprised to hear that there is already a team of two people working on a concept for the Enzo successor; they never stop. |

Dave, I am the one who mentioned that some dealers do not require a deposit. Shelton is one of them. I started a new thread on Dealers' Lists.

No, the 360 has been popular so my guess would be in that tradition.
Many people seem not to like the lower air intakes so my guess is that these will be changed.
If I do not like the replacement, the 360 prices will be down then so I would buy a 360 Spider. |

Do have any idea what the replacement for the 360 will look like? |

On another thread, someone mentioned that some dealers do NOT requrie a deposit to get on the lists. Which dealers are these? Can respond on or off list. [email protected]
This week I will get on the replacement list. The dealer requires a $5,000 deposit. Their 360 Spider list is over 5 years long. Their replacement list is about 2 years long. Their 360 Spider list will NOT roll into the replacement list. This dealer has been good to me so I want to give them some business.
I also thought it might be good to get on another dealer's list if it was not long and did not tie up too much capital for about 5 years. Are there any dealers who have relatively short 360 Spider Lists or 360 Replacement Lists? If they did not require a deposit or a low deposit, that would be even nicer.
