    I haven't been on F-Chat for about two years, so if this has been discussed I ask for your forgiveness.

    I've owned 6 Ferraris in the past and have factory ordered two of them (a 2006 430 Spider and a 2008 599.) After having the opportunity to drive a Portofino I decided to order one. I thought I was immune to Ferrari option pricing shock but Apple Car Play, supplied for free in a Volkswagen Tiguan, is $4219! A software flash? Seriously? I have no idea whether or not Ferrari has to pay a licensing fee amortized over a tiny number of cars as opposed to, say, the Volkswagen Audi Group but that is just appalling.

    My car will be delivered without Apple Car Play. At some point one needs to Just Say No.
