    I've had my 458 spider about a month and I'm wondering if we still get the model.On two of the three 458's I've already had,the models were at the dealer before the car arrived.On one of them I never got the model and on the FF the model showed up in the mail about 3 months after the car was delivered. The dealer was not sure if Ferrari is still sending models on the spider as the car is to new for anyone in the states to have had one for 3 months. Anyone out there know....

    Can't say for the Spider but my 2012 458 model took about 3 months.
    Did your dealer contact FNA?

    Mine just showed up about 2 months after I got the car. The dealer had it. I stopped in and they gave it to me. You might want to check with your salesman.

    I didn't think I was getting one and then--- there it was.

    Listen Ken, you just interrupted a serious discussion about plastic toy cars with serial numbers to talk about beautiful women. That's ..... Well, I think that's a hell of an idea. Let me know what you find out.

    You mean they don't send me a beautiful woman in the mail when I get the car? I want my money back.

    For newbies like me, is anyone generous enough to post a picture of what one of these models look like (cars or women) :)

    Mine came about 3 months after the car was delivered with a nice note from Ferrari. Nice touch...I love it.

    I was touched when I received mine with the letter from Ferrari welcoming me to the family. Isn't that good customer relations?

    It is great customer relations when you think of it in the context of when was the last time you spent $300k for a model? Can't wait to get mine!

    I think the model distinguishes Ferrari from other brands. It's more of a marketing tool than a gift. The net result is that it makes me look forward to giving them more of my money in the future.
