    Are you joking on me or agreeing with me? It looks like a Testarossa that someone grafted a fiberglass Fiero F355 bumper onto...along with some Koenig headlights and some AutoZone/Pepboys hood scoops.

    And don't get my started on those wheels....ugh. They look like those fake BBSs that Les Scwab sold in 14" for Honda Civics back in 1992. Only thing missing is the gold foil.

    The 512M is certainly rare....and it's certainly worth something. But it's a hodgepodge of styling. The TR strakes haven't aged well to begin with, and those wheels and that nose treatment certainly didn't do it any favors.

    Ditto on the wheels. Can't stand them.
    I don't like the round tail lights either.
    The glassed in headlights are distracting to me.

    BUT, I don't have a problem with the strakes. It's a period design and it's a waste of time to compare with style 25 years later and expect the style to hold up to the latest and the greatest, it's Apples to Oranges. (I happen to like the squared off style with strakes, but then I might be biased too).

    Fortunately I also like 246 Dinos, 550 Maranellos 330 GTC's and Maserati Ghiblis but it would be silly to compare any of them with each other..

    Either a person is "into" that period of design or they are not.

    My personal favorite is the 512TR with that "fakey" looking 355 front end on it, oh wait, THE 355 DIDN'T EXIST in '93 and '94
