    the pictures are all amazing...beautiful cars, beautiful backgrounds, and superb photography. But the car is tiny. I love my 308 and I agree that it is only in person that you really appreciate the 308 for the work of art that it is.

    They look nice in some photos, great in other photos, but I have yet to see the photo that truly "captures" it. I don't think you can in a photo.

    First Ferrari I ever saw in the flesh was a red QV GTS, as a 12-year old kid, back when it was a brand new car. Though I thought I knew every shape and detail from hours spent staring at all the books and car magazines I could get my hands on, I still remember how it blew me away in person.

    Photos are great and all, but nothing beats seeing one in person.

    Like any car, the 308 has good and slightly less flattering (rather than bad) angles. Profile shots of the 308 on 6.5" wheels and balloon tires look wonderful, photograph the same car from the rear 3/4 angle and the comically high ride heights and wheels lost in the fenders, look less aesthetically pleasing.

    The 328 is the least photogenic (no offense intended) its bumpers whilst neat/more neatly integrated and more contemporary, look too bulky and heavy for the rest of the 308's svelte lines. Add in the "ABS" wheels and it loses a lot aesthetically.

    The 308 GTB looks better than the GTS (again, no offense intended) primarily because of its wonderful roof line, that's lost with the GTS :
