I SERIOUSLY doubt that if Ferrari, who's reputation for fine cars that are handmade down to the stitching on the seats in Italy are sent off to China to be made at a fraction of the cost, that most people able to afford them would buy them.
Now, if they passed on the savings to the consumer and made a $75000 China made Ferrari, then yes they are starting a new niche but to move to China a RAISE prices would be an issue. There was an article not long ago where Ernesto Colnago verbalized that they don't like telling people where the frames are made. So Pinarello, Colnago and the other italian companies slap Italian Flags and colors all over their frames to present as if they are. It is all BULL#$#.
Or Ridley would paint their Chinese made frames in Belgium and slap Made in Belgium stickers on them. LOL.
My Mongoose Bosberg had a Made in Taiwan sticker on it. I am fine with that. But don't try to sell be some BS about Italian Heritage.
