Ferrari Snubs Detroit Auto Show, But Shows Support For Chrysler

SIGNALING an end of days for the all-encompassing, omnipotent, omniscient, and hugely expensive auto show is nigh, Ferrari took the unusual step of announcing that its official display will not grace the upcoming the North American International Auto Show (a.k.a. “Detroit Auto Show”).

But in a curious twist, Ferrari also announced that a Ferrari 599XX will be on display at the Chrysler stand to “celebrate the Fiat-Chrysler partnership”.

It’s a strange world we live in. But then again, times were a lot stranger in earlier days.

To mark this momentous occasion and in the spirit of amity, Ferrari stablemate and Fiat subsidiary Maserati didn’t announce that they wouldn’t display a Chrysler TC by Maserati as a tribute to the Trident’s former partnership with ChryCo.
