Martin MM, Klaus' comparison does have merit.
Ferrari's are not very good in most respects. Not much interior space. Lousy view around. Awful fuel consumption. Very uncomfortable ride. No luggage space to speak of. Unreliable. Very noisy, very expensive. All in all, not great cars in most respects.

BC, thank you for your point but I totally disagree. As for Ferrari, it is totally out of track, comparing apples to oranges, i.e. judging today´s hi-tech super sport car by the family-van merits. Today the Leica M position among cameras is in no way comparable to Ferrari´s position among cars (maybe except the premium for the brand and the smililar appeal for snobs, nostalgic guys and as a toy for the rich, too). I view any such comparison just as ridiculous and out of question. But I have already put down my points and don´t like to repeat myself.
