No arguments about the many hiccups in the 348, but will say that they are
fun cars to drive.  Noticeably quicker than 328, and to me, the styling is
nice (though I lament the fake air intake at the front).

I also have a soft spot in my heart for it, because it had to carry the
Ferrari flag against the NSX, and while it may have lost on paper, it did
manage to show people that "soul" did count (and there was a claim at the
time, that it was faster around the track then the current TR)...

No argument from me about how nice it would be to have 328 AC in my 308...
