    Don't give Porsche ideas - I see a $2000 option dancing before marketing's eyes and no pressure to change out the std 997S school bus wheel in the future.

    The 360 wheel is definitely awesome looking. I wish Porsche had (like Ferrari) gone with a more Momo-inspired look than that crazy 997 Fisher Price looking wheel.

    Didn't the Fiat Coupe and the Barchetta have a similar steering wheel?

    You claim you will be unbiased in your assessment of the 997. Here is a test for you. Which steering wheel do you prefer; the pictured Ferrari wheel or the 997 wheel?

    Be careful... your answer will have a huge impact on your credibility regarding the upcoming 997 report.

    Who put those Ferrari logos in a Fiat interior?

    Seriously, I guess I hadn't paid much attention to a Ferrari interior, but that one certainly isn't anything special. The 997 interior is looking better all the time.

    Nick, thanks for putting things back into perspepective.
    It's really a shame that Ferrari is using such a dull interior on their entry model. Makes us Porsche aficionados appreciate their efforts even more.
    Just have a look at the speedo cluster of this 360. The designer must have lived through difficult times when he designed that; randomly scattering the dials.
    By far the worst part is this hideous "nipple" one has to use to choose gears, but hey what am I expecting? After all it's just a pumped up Fiat.

    RG TL

    P.S. Is the airbag cover made of plastic? Apparently yes...

    I'd take a GT3 over even a 360 CS any day of the week (assuming I couldn't sell the CS). However, that Ferrari seems to have a proper steering wheel.
