Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 328 Assessment

[Erik Nielsen (judge4re]

The original TT solved the problem Honda created with the NSX. Honda's
designer of the front didn't talk to the guy that did the back. Audi
just made them the same.

Never understood why there was so much emphasis on a driver's car
looking good, the best part should be the interior, which is what the
guy that owns it sees.

And it may be a shit box 365, but the V12 will still smoke a 328 off the line.
