Sorry I don't get your last point. I'm thinking the sentence is self contradictory.
As to the Duce. Gotta love the Duce. Refreshing.
The point there is there's a cheaper option but you want the new option on your terms. This is a well known psychological trait of us humans called product envy. We don't need a Ferrari but we want one because someone else has one. That's not fair, I can't afford it. It has to be someone elses fault. So then it has to be that it's either the owner of the Ferrari did something wrong, or Ferrari themselves.
I think you missed the point. Majority of motorists dont even consider buying Ferrari because
a) it is expensive
b) as a car it is not very practical
c) you cant buy Ferrari anywhere
d) there is no Ferrari Compact, Ferrari Van, Ferrari Pickup nor Ferrari Off-road
Instead they go to buy Fiat Grande Punto instead with kid seats and go to Italian Walmart to buy a discount pizza. And it makes sense. You cant pack your family to Ferrari, can you?
