Just as good as I thought it would sound

nothing like a 355 to brighten your day (and that's from the inside)...

Because people bitch about maintenance intervals and costs, and more than anything, ever more insane emissions regulations.

As with all the great cars, you couldn't build the 355 today as a manufacturer and hope to sell it anywhere.

The electronics it came with were all the car needed. Tossing the current flappy paddle and idiot-driver-control garbage into a 355 would entirely ruin the car and defeat the purpose. You'd have built a 430 that looks like a 355, and lost the soul that makes it special.
