    Pininfarina has always looked better than anything out of Bertone.

    This is like saying the Miura is more iconic than the 206/246 Dino, or that "Starry Night" is more iconic than "American Gothic". No question the 308 is an icon, but trying to rank icons is like trying to rank flavors of ice cream.
    Completely agree....the 348 is such a better looking car than the Miura (no offense to 348 fans). [/sarcasm] :p

    Perhaps the best Bertone/Pinifarina comparison I’ve heard came from my daughter age ten or so when she saw a 308 at a local cars and coffee: “Dad, your X1/9s are cute but that car is cool”.

    My son wants me to trade the 328 in for a Cybertruck. "It's way more awesome!" He's only 7, so I'll cut him some slack for now. But if he keeps it up, the car goes to his little sister. Haha!

    Other than the Miura, Bertone just adjusted the angle and size of a wedge.
