    Of course that photo was taken from Google. It was a mockery of you 348 owner’s’ intelligence.

    I would not risk my privacy by showing my actual collection to this forum.

    However, for the record, I do not own a 250 Lusso. I prefer the newer cars that I get to spec and purchase directly from the factory in Maranello (the way it should be).

    And you were instantly called on it with a direct link from where you stole the image.

    Anyway, you've wasted enough people's time
    here. And you've proven you're an idiot so, job done?

    I don't generally agree with this guy, but he makes a lot of very valid points in his summary of the 348 on this occasion.....

    I don't think he was necessarily saying "its a slow car", but rather its "slow compared to ..." which you can say about a lot of exotic cars from that era.
    I remember during the height of the pandemic when our country was all but shut down, absolutely no traffic on the road, I went for a drive and whilst sitting at 150mph down the motorway I thought two things. 1, This speed feels like a sweet spot for the 348. 2, Hope I don't get caught speeding. 3, It really did not take long to get to that speed. 4, The 348 is not "that" slow!!.
    Okay that was 4 things....

    Ha! What a tool. Boredom is a dangerous thing.

    I love 348s. I need another one.

    The newest 348s are coming up on 30 years old... You can't compare fast/slow to anything unless you're comparing same eras. Silly.

    Not sure anyone buys a 348 expecting a super car, its usually the style that draws folks. That said I'm sure some people expect something unrealistic, usually those not well versed in cars of the period.

    I wish I could tell you I cared what Doug DeMuro thinks but I don't consider him to be a credible source of information.

    Well, he’s probably the biggest car YouTuber there is so him saying the 348 is a good car has relevance in the community and potentially effects the car’s value.

    Unfortunately yes, the unwashed masses have turned all of their opinion formation and decision making authority over to YouTube “influenzas”.

    I will say I have been pleased to see the 348 receiving some good reviews though. They have it right there.

    Lets not forget Hoovie said his favorite car was the 348, its the reveal in an episode of all his cars he's owned and what was his favorite. I posted it out here can't find it but its out there. Jayem also said the 348 is not as bad as people said it was in his video.

    Matt Farah likes it too. I generally agree with his takes.

    Let’s not forget too that liking the 348 is a great contrarian take to have to drive views.

    That twin turbo 348 was nuts!! Love it!! They did a fantastic job of engineering everything that needed to be done to that car....

    I think the 348 is a great looking car, but it's VERY '80's. There is no doubt what decade that car is from. Not a bad thing, but you have to like the 80's aesthetic to like the 348. That's probably why it's a bit of a love-hate car for many people.

    Ok, then explain the Testarossa/512? They’ve never been unloved.
