The Mona Lisa is just a common portrait of a rather plain looking woman with an odd smile.That didn't stop me from waiting in line for an hour to spend 2 minutes 15 ft away from it at the Louvre. I don't think the portrait would have been improved if she were sporting dreadlocks under a trucker's hat and Def Leppard t-shirt, with clowns on a trapeze in the background.

I guess every pot has a lid - but the longer I look at this thing, the worse it gets.
The 356 is already a ridiculously small and not very manly looking, and has a size-tiny lawn mower engine in the back. Saddle that little girl scale car with a color that looks like the car came in a Malibu Barbie playset with a Don Johnson action figure, and I'm just taking a hard pass.
To my eye, a 356 or Spyder needs a very solid, very cold, very "manly" color to avoid looking like a child's toy. All the mint greens and powder blues and whatnot may as well be pink.
