    At first I didn't remember that at all. Then I realized I watched the US version. I do like the US version.

    Tell us about the comparison he makes.

    I remember watching this episode earlier this year. Too bad the 308 was only on screen for a few seconds.

    "I think this is the first properly pretty Ferrari since the 308 came along back in 1975."

    Seems to make as much sense as comparing the performance of a single engine Cessna to a fighter jet. Yeah, they both have wings and yeah, the can both fly, but one has nothing to do with the other. Why not compare the 458 to a new Lambo, or Corvette ZR1? Makes more sense.

    Sounds like he was talking about the looks, not performance.

    I saw the episode as well, I think hes just paying homage to the 308 as a beatiful "looking" car. He has several times in past episodes commented about the 360s and 430s not being very attractive. Who can argue the 308 is beautiful and I agree the 458 looks fantastic, Ferrari is again building a gorgeous machine. Although the 360 spyder I checked out a few weeks ago looked very nice....

    A properly sorted 308 with SC, upgraded brakes and new suspension/tires still won't match a 458 but could be an interesting segment on the show as it's more car than almost anybody can really handle...

    Anybody with a finished car want to volunteer? ;)
