Edmunds has a story detailing how the Ferrari F430 does not meet all US crash saftey requirements and is under a pannel now to ban all cars produced after Sept 1,2006. According to the NHTSA, the F430 provides inadequate crash protection for small children and some women. Who in their right mind would have carseats in their ferrari? If the car does indeed get banned it would be a big blow to ferrari, who is selling as many of the fabulous f430’s as it van build. Furthermore ferrari doesn’t have a model-line update slated for the f430 until 2008, ouch.
