Lamborghini would never do that.

Cool of Ferrari that they are so straight forward and honest about it

How can it even be a discussion on whether it is a design flaw? What else would it be? Driver error? I'm curious what exactly I can do from behind the wheel of a car that ignites a massive fire behind me.

Whether Ferrari or the insurance company replaces the burned cars is not a big deal.. It's obviously not out-of-pocket for the owners.

Regardless of the Ferrari, usually cars when they first come out the first year model has a few problems.

Yeah, but this isn't like a sticky cup-holder kind of problem exactly

Pretty sure the manufacturer isn't to blame for your sticky cupholder.

About time Ferrari starts doing something. I think they will learn from this mistake and it will only make there cars better.

I think it's funny how such a small part can do so much.
