Guess I'm in the minority with my negative reaction to the styling. In darker colors, its tolerable.

Speaking of manual 340s, there was a letter in the latest Roundel from a guy who wrote in to say that he bought 2 of the last manual 340s from his dealer (one for him and one for his wife) cause he liked it so much!
I had kind of the opposite reaction. It was too quick on center, which made the car wander.

But as a general matter, I think modern steering racks are way too quick period.
