Look at this letter from Ferrari:

Dear Editor,
Your surprise in finding the Ferrari F430 displayed at the New York Autoshow
was at least as big as ours. Indeed, Ferrari and Ferrari North America are not
participating to the 2008 edition of the New York Auto Show.
The Ferrari vehicle displayed at the show is therefore not part of the Ferrari
Marketing fleet, nor was Ferrari informed that such vehicle would be displayed
at the Autoshow.
As you have pointed out, this display is not representing the standards of our
Company and our past stands at International Autoshows.

Thank you for your consideration and
All the Best
Ferrari North America

I don't get it- why would Maserati and Ferrari boycott this event in one of their biggest markets?

I saw the black 430 coupe and was trying to figure who put it there as the display was pretty shabby.I thought maybe Miller Motorcars as they were on each side with ASton Martin and Bentley but the displays were the manufacturers.

there was a post about this before

But the choice to not be apart of the NYIAS was not made by FNA but by the dealers. They get charged to be their! So they made the choice not to go as I have heard. To many problems with people at the show was another issue. But in truth they don't need to go to the show NY is one of their strongest markets. Try and walk into a dealer and order a new car good luck!
