    It doesn't hurt their image and they make money off it, so what's to complain about? :p

    I think its funny, but not as funny as the cologne that hummer and mustang have. I might be being bias, but I think its alright for Ferrari to have a cologne, but hummer and mustang......no!

    I think it's OK for Ferrari to sell cars to support the F1 program.

    This ... is embarrassing.

    I agree completely that this is embarrassing and undignified to Ferrari. It cheapens the brand image. On the other hand, what is even more embarrassing is that there apparently are enough people out there willing to buy this crap to prevent economic darwinism from eliminating this from the product pool.

    I read the description. It says it smells like fresh woods and oriental. I'm not too sure what they mean by smells oriental. I'd have thought it would spell like leather, carbon fibre, oil and burning rubber. But that's just me. ;)

    As long as it doesn't smell like a 30K major--you are in luck...

    I'm still searching for a toilet seat with a scuderia shield on it! Certainly I could make one myself, but I want an ''OFFICIAL'' one!
    I'd hate to be taking care of business, and have Ferrari's legal army storm in my bathroom with a cease and desist order!

    This will just fan the flame (so to speak) of the F-*** thread on L-P.


    Got to admit, some of those are pretty funny.

    Well, if it were the REAL bugatti (and you know what I mean), it would be something either useful or in good taste.

    Like the bench-vise and other tools, or the little children's cars.

    Not toilet water.

    Can't help but think these are knock-offs or pirated stuff. Have seen the stuff for sale on New York streets. I know Ferrari has a Cologne product, but doubt they would merchandise this way.

    ....all this criticism from a bunch of guys who would give their left nuts to pay in advance and wait 2-3 years for their products?????

    They could put a shield on dogsh*t and someone would be thrilled to buy it!


    Forza Ferrari

    Ferrari makes more money these days selling the brand name than they do selling the cars. Luca De M. has(d?) an ownership interest in the Acqua Di Parma line so there might be a connection there. Although this is cheaper than their stuff.

    I think Puma's new line which looks a little like Ed Hardy wear is pretty cheesy
