    Sell possibly the most hallowed automotive brand ever; Ferrari, to purchase more of Chrysler? Certainly sounds ludicrous when you first say it......but alas I fear that I'm a much better enthusiast than I am a business man.

    Never happen, I'd never go after a cheap knockoff like Ferriri, only the real thing.

    I hope Fiat doesn't look back at their decision 10 years from now and say "WHAT WERE WE THINKING"? Sell off Ferrari for a truck building company that has a customer base that doesn't buy small nimble fuel efficient people movers? Why that's Fusilli.:D

    Well...

    Ferrari may be worth $4B, but how fast is it growing? I'm guessing that Chrysler infrastructure has more potential upside for growing the Fiat Empire...

    Unless of course Ferrari starts making electric scooters!

    I'm pretty confident Ferrari licensing opportunities are worth $4B if done right... of course, you'd need to sign somebody like T-Pain to wear the bling.

    Think how many sets of $20K 30" spinners you could sell with real Ferrari stallions on them... those would be the shizzle.
