The 308 GTB(S) was not considered that sublime when it first came out.
Remember the car it replaced. I prefer the looks of the 246 Dino GTB myself.
Every time I see one my knees go weak. You are right about the Scirocco
though, absolutely gorgeous and done on spec as VW did not ask for a low
roof line coupe.
