I wouldn't say that's a fair shake for Modern French engineering. Renault has powered Formula One winning cars and Citroen won the WRC Title many, many times.
OK, BUT, you dont sell a F1 or WRC Race Prep'd car at a profit thru a dealership to every Jacque and Giselle, that comes thru the front door.
Ferrari is part of the Fiat Corporation now , but they are not targeting the same Customers. This is what is called a False Equivalency.
