    These are my (Jim Glickenhaus') own thoughts.

    Years ago Luca spent a lot of $ to raise productive capacity to 10K per shift but ran it at 7K.

    Many Auto Makers run Double/Triple shifts.

    Italian Labor rules make that tricky but FIAT group has a lot of unused capacity and under employed workers.

    Alfa for example is built at Maserati.

    There are a lot of very talented auto workers in Turin under employed.

    Maserati is aiming for 70K units per year.

    Ferrari's would still be plenty rare at 20/30K per year.

    A new "Dino" would allow a whole new generation of non Billionaires to enter the Ferrari World.

    Enough 458's and F12's to meet real demand.

    No 3K cupholders.

    No Ugly beyond belief FF's

    There will never be an SUV.

    Enough La's to meet demand instead of "friends" getting them to flip and kickback part of the profit to dealers?

    Reuniting with designers like Pininfarina who know what a beautiful car looks like.

    What's not to like??

    Problem with sub-$3K cupholders is that they don't hold cups securely under race conditions.
