Thats a big mistake I think by Ferrari. The Chinese market is very important to them. Or perhaps according to their profiling of their chinese target buyers, the buyers don't really care? If thats not the case then I think it's a serious marketing oversight by Ferrari. They may have to consider what other car makers do - different name for the chinese market 458 is a continuation of a naming tradition in Ferrari '45' for 4.5L and '8' for 8 cylinder. They seem to have revived this naming system. ADAM said,

Driver parks illegally at Holland V to show off his Ferrari

The inconsiderate driver of this Ferrari left his car parked in the yellow box at the entrance of the carpark at Holland Village while chatting to his friend,says STOMPer PiccaDolly.

His inconsiderate and selfish behaviour obstructed the way for many motorists trying to enter the busy carpark.

PiccaDolly also says that the driver also revved his engine to show off when he got back into his car.

Angry at his behaviour, STOMPer PiccaDolly says:

“An inconsiderate show off driver, parked his car (so what if it’s a Ferrari?!) partially in the yellow box junction right in front of car park entrance at busy Holland Village.

“He did this during dinner time JUST TO collect money from the fruits stall owner at Holland V hawker centre.

“Can’t he afford to pay for parking in the car park? He didn’t give a damn about obstructing cars entering the carpark.
