GM to buy Ferrari...and some other companies too. Becuase I really don't care about Fiat, Alpha Romeo and Maseratti, Ferrari is the only gem in the Fiat crown of interest to me. At any rate, developing story on Detroit news, GM may be found in breach of contract with Fiat which requires GM to buy out the remaining 49% stake in the company which would make Fiat wholey owned division...
Wow, I can't even begin to fathom what it would do to the Ferrari image to be associated with GM.....hmmm..

Lutz are you reading this? Import the new Superamerica and rebadge it as a Firebird! 
If a Monaro can be turned into a GTO, then how hard could it be to rebadge the new GM Ferrari Superamerica as a Firebird?
I'd even settle for cloth seats in place of Italian leather.

Didn't Chysler own Ferrari at one point though?

I could just imagine the terrible scenario...
At the 2007 auto show, a new Ferrari is debuted, with stunning looks and a 3.8 liter V8 engine. It is to become a lower level entry car to the F430.
In 2008, the concept becomes the Ferrari "Chaser", a front wheel drive 4 door based on the Malibu Maxx chasis. The sport version gets a supercharged 3.8 liter V6. It goes on sale with a pricetag of $90,000 dollars.

I don't see that ever happening (Ferrari even thinking about selling out to GM). Ferrari and GM are in two completely different worlds. I don't even think GM could even handle Ferrari's shoes. Ferrari has thumbed their nose at bigger fish. They're responsible for Lamborghini coming to light. Enzo told Ferrucio Lamborghini that he doesn't cater to peasants, when Mr. Lamborghini went to buy his first Ferrari and have certain custom features performed on his new buy, at the factory where it was to be built.That's all he needed to hear. He went off and created a name for himself (Lamborghini). Even Carroll Shelby said that Enzo Ferrari's a first class as*hole. Enzo's wife has been known to throw fits and slap their team drivers in the face. Also the Ferrrari F1 team is known for their mucho paranoia and **** like regimentation.
