Ferrari wait list suggests recession is over, at least for the rich

Ferrari may not have a display at NAIAS this year, but they are not short of customers.  According to Jeff Cauley, owner of Cauley Ferrari in Bloomfield Hills, the waiting list for delivery of the new 458 Spider is up to four years. Cauley expects to receive his first Spider this June. If you fancy a 458 Italia (the coupe) expect to wait 6 to 9 months, and for the new FF model, there is a year’s wait.
