    308 has the edge as there were a lot more of them around. The influence of TV is massive...

    Cannonball Run movies really glorified the Lambos. Still my favorite movie openings of all time

    Ditto, a few years back I was parked and standing next to my car and a guy walked up and asked if it was a Lambo. On many occasions I've had people yell out "I like your Lambo"!

    Countach, no question. Given how few Countach's were made and how rarely you see them on the road, that's really impressive.

    The 308 was practically the star of it's own TV show for years and still comes in second.

    I grew up during the era of both and each is iconic in its own right. However, I would have to give the edge to the 308. It was, simply put, more visible through mass media (TV, movies, posters) than the Countach was.

    ........."Hi-Fidelity by Alpine"

    I still have that poster, with the red Countach. I remember the day my Dad bought it for me at a Spencer's Gift's shop in the mall. I couldn't have been older than 10 or so.
