    Ferrari sold 15% more cars in the first quarter this year vs last, however, in North America the increase was only 2%. Double digit increases in EMEA and China. They did say in their first quarter earnings release that V8's (488's) were a greater proportion of sales than V12's. For the year 2016, they are forecasting global sales of 7,900 cars, which is a large increase over the roughly 7,000 level, but doesn't seem like NA is getting much of the increase.

    I placed a deposit on a 488 GTB today, with delivery estimated late 2017 to early 2018. That's with a history of a sale of my 2009 612 OTO through this dealership, which supposedly gave me a better allocation.

    If you know you know
    I'll be surprised if you get any actual numbers.

    Dealer allocation is like showing your cards in a poker game...

    No one wants to show the others what they have ( or get )

    There are numbers they will tell you , then there are the real numbers ( higher or lower )

    How does that happen? I thought the dealers couldn't sell cars over msrp until after 6 months.

    I'm surprised it's only going for 20k over msrp. I thought the coupes would be going for at least that let alone a spyder.

    Ferrari is bringing the California T to my building this week. I'll ask what the deal is on ordering a new 488. I don't mind waiting a year, but 2 is just ridiculous.
