Thanks for the pic Laohu.
I'm wondering if they are hinting the 308 is coming back from the dead as that is a 308 in the pic.
Maybe the pic is still just a nod to the past and trying to grab the attention of more original viewers, but I'm thinking with it being the second season they should now be promoting/pushing the new 488, unless they are really bringing it back. I'm all for Robin purchasing a replacement 308 for the one destroyed by Magnum last year and that would tie into the original show where TM was always wrecking the 308 and it was always fixed or replaced. I know others on the site will feel the same way and would like to see it make an appearance on occasion. I'll guess that Lenkov is thinking that same thing and hoping to pull in a few more viewers this way too.
We will find out soon enough.

I personally made several suggestions to Lenkov that the 308 should be replaced. Even gave him an easy, convenient way to work it in.

example: It took a while for the insurance company to locate just the right replacement, since it is now a "classic" with the years that have passed since it's introduction. They found it, they bought it, they shipped it to the estate! They ARE still around...some with very low miles and in near new condition. Some are even better than new, with upgrades. Not cheap...but definitely available.

After all, in "Juliet's" own words..."Robin loved that car." How could they NOT replace it if it is at all possible!

Then Shiggens can "give" it to Magnum stating that he's barred from driving the "new" ones....at least until he destroys this one..or renders it undrivable. Any number of possibilities exist. Could be a running part of the show...Magnum drives the 308...breaks it...then has to drive one of the 488's...308 gets "fixed"...rinse and repeat!

Would be nice if the 308 were brought back..it is such an integral part of the original show...iconic doesn't even really describe it accurately. It, to me, was as important a part of what the show was, as was the estate, while we're counting "props, and not people.

Not gonna hold my breath though...even if they DID bring it back.....Jay would probably run it off a cliff again in the first episode he drove it!
