"Development Work On The MCC Underway 01/13/2004Fiorano After yesterdays few laps to do a preliminary systems check on the car at Fiorano, today the circuit was the scene for the first day of development work on the new MCC."[...] http://tinyurl.com/2kvc3, et seq.

And: ...It REEKS of desperation. >Isn't this the car that I mentioned some weeks ago? Apparently. I was so hoping they'd come to their senses, and dropped it. Rebadging the Enzo as a Maser is going to be BAD for both: It mocks Maserati and devalues Ferrari. "We'll just slap these Caddy emblems on a Nova and no one will be the wiser" - said the GM exec, right before the Japanese had GM guts for garters. <<It is not a Maserati>> Ferrari says it is. << it is not in keeping with the spirit of the class>> What *spirit* are you referring to? << it should cannibalize wins from Ferrari>> I'm guessing that you actually meant *could* here. <<other manufacturers will drop out>> Why? What proof do you have for this? <<"We'll just slap these Caddy emblems on a Nova and no one will be the wiser">> Caddy emblems on a Vette or H2 emblems on a Suburban or Mustang emblems on a '74 Fairlane or a new Lincoln. A Firebird is a Camaro and Porches are Vedubs. So what else is new? C. Well, I like the way it looks better than the Enzo. I don't see the big deal, really. Ferrari made race versions of the F40, tried to do it with the F50. Maserati is wholly-owned by Ferrari, sees the opportunity to leverage a rather large investment of time and money by badge-engineering. I hope to see one, eventually.
