Advice please

[THE BIG DOG]

I'm looking for advice with my next car. I'm not 100% of which car. 360 or 355. With buying a 355 which is the older car I would expect alot more up keep over the 360 or are they? Any good info and insight of both cars would be .
I have a friend with a 360
and ever since going out for a blast I'm now finding myself needing to do the Ferrari THING!
Thanks in advance guy.

Purely personal opinion, but for me it would be the 355 definitely; I find the 360 so ugly in comparison. The 430 is a sorted car though. If you're after raw speed then I'd consider a 911 GT3 or Exige.

P.S. Have you thought about a slightly diffent proposition in more of a tourer - the 550 is beautiful and also v quick. Prices are pretty reasonable as well.

Firstly, stunning cerb in your profile

For me, it would have to be the 355, I just love the shape and am not a fan of the 360 despite it being the quicker car. What sort of budget are you looking at because this could be the difference between a dog of a 360 or a perfect 355?

Objectively - Value for money at the moment I would go 360. They are still dropping whereas the 355 has slowed as there were more made and more to choose from.

Subjectively - I chose a 348 over a 355 (I'm on my second) as the 355 simply does not do it for me in the styling stakes. I know it is classed as one of the most beautiful Ferraris made, but to me, it is a similar profile to the 348 without the agressive styling.

The 360 is a totally different profile and I do like it ... especially in yellow
