Quality control has gone up in the V8s over the 4-cyl models. I think those are the ones you are talking about...the newer V8s have a redesigned interior too that is pretty nice. Well, I would say that both Lotus and Ferrari have a 'functional' interior--neither one is going to win much in the way of design awards.

I think the Porsche would have much better reliability than either the Ferrari or Lotus, however. But...I think Ferrari and Lotus have a great advantage in sex appeal over the Porsche. You just see Porsches everywhere and so they don't stir the soul when you see one. You want to see people stop and point though--drive by in a Lotus or Ferrari. :)

Hmmm...for the price of the 360, one could have a new Esprit V8 and a BMW M5. Ah...wish I were in the position of having to make such decisions! ;)
