=============

Remember, the 328 came after nearly a decade of fixing problems with the 308
(heck, a lot of stuff carried over from the GT4, right?).  If you sell the
same product for 12 years, you're more likely to get it perfect at the end
of the production run, right?  :-)  That's why the 911 3.2 Carrera is so
reliable - it was the same friggin' car since 1974, so of course the last
iteration will have the bugs worked out of it!

The 348, as I noted in my last post, was effective a clean-sheet design, and
it wasn't around that long, though by '92 a lot of earlier problems were
remedied.  The most flaws in the 355 arise from (a) a new, 5-valve motor,
and (b) crappy, crappy, quality engineering in cockpit materials selection -
neither of which could be predicted from the 348.
