I saw that bent 355, not really enough room in it I don't think.(price plus cost of repair)

I must really be a bit more sensible, what with having a family and all. Good job QP's are out depreciating 456's !!!!

Love the 355, do you think interior looks well dated?
I do think so but the exterior more than makes up for it

Ferrari have never made a decent interior IMO, the 355, 360 and F430 all had poor dashboards and a Halfords radio. No match for Audi with the R8 or Porsche 911 interiors.

I disagree, I've never seen a 911 interior I liked and the R8 is very corporate Audi/bland. Recent Ferrari dashboards have been nasty though, I always liked the simplicity and purity of the 355 design though.

As for quality of materials well the Germans have pretty much got that sewn up.

I find the GranTurismo interior fabulous......................Ferrari....got a bit OTT at times...............Germanic types caught up in function over form......

GT to me is a bit ... well ...German .....Thats not a bad thing but it isn't as opulant as the GS/4200/QP....

GTS is a bit German but having spent 5000 miles in one it is certainly opulent. Makes the 4200 feel very old as well.

911 interiors have always been odd to my mind. As for the R8 it is nice but 80% of it is the same as my wife's TT.

Mind the cupholders in the GTS feel cheap.

Made up by the fact that I got four compliments about the car in two days this week.

nothing wrong in that though, the quality is there in the TT/RS models and it does not look out of place in the R8. If it aint broke, dont fix it. :)
