The replica industry is worldwide and very diverse. There are replica clubs, magazines and large shows. Fans of various cars have made replicas of a huge variety of cars.
In my opinion the reason WSJ picked the story is twofold. First, it’s now run by Rupert Murdoch, so they want eye grabbing stories with headlines that sell (like the words Ferrari and counterfeit in the title of a business oriented paper). The second is the reporter. She’s a junior reporter who mostly does fashion and celeb stories, and is familiar with Italy. She’s covered fake Gucci bags before so she THINKS she knows something about cheap knock off’s and the motivation behind them.
Her name is Rosamaria Mancini (rosamaria.mancini@dowjones.com), I’m going to send her a note asking her to learn about the other side of the story.), here’s an index of stories she has done: http://findarticles.com/p/search?tb=art&qt=%22Mancini%2C+Rosamaria%22
and here’s a video story she did recently: http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1428601198
This is WSJ quality reporting??? It plays like a college freshman marketing major’s submission for a class.
