What company do you think makes the best looking cars (entire offering of cars, not just one car)?

I know a lot of people will say Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston, Maserati, and Jaguar, but in my eyes the most beautiful (and interesting) cars come from TVR. The Speed 12, T350, Sagaris! They are amazing! I wish we could get them on this side of the pond! Spyker would come in second. Alfa Romeo also makes some good looking "cheaper" cars. Italdesign also makes some very interesting looking designs.

[size=1.5]other beautiful cars in my eyes:
Ferrari 250 GTO
Trident Iceni
Farbouds
Jaguar XJ13
Larakis
Porsche GT1
Tommy Kaira ZZII
Ronart
Yes!
Maserati Birdcage[/size]

Apart from the late 80s boxy wedges, TVR have been pretty good. Aston Martin suffered from 80ism as well (as did most manufacturers). Ferrari have always had it pretty spot on - only a couple of their cars have been below par - and you cand go wrong with the 250 GTO!

That website starts off with one of my favorite cars! Who ever thought the Citroen DS was ugly needs eyeball implants. So a real ugly car is the civillian version of the Humvee. It looks like it was designed by a retard with a set square. Tongue

I think Topgear were on about it because it was the first car to have all those fancy little gadgets that modern cars boast about. Like hydraulic suspension, headlights that go left and right with the steering wheel and an engine designed to go under the main "cockpit" area in the event of a crash.

The Hummer H2 looks gay i think , the best Hummer was the H1 - Military, wether with the rocket system, or just with the MG on top. But I think the Civillian H1 Pick Up Version is OK, too.

Well I can't disagree. It's one stylish car. I loved the film of The Day of the Jackle purely because almost every car was either a Citroen Dolly or a Citroen DS. Grin

I love the ugliest car site Grin Surprising lack of entry from the former Eastern Bloc, things like the Moskvitch and Lada....
Okay I'm going to be a bit controversial and say Bentley, they have done some magnificent cars in their time along with Rolls Royce, however lately they seem to have both lost the plot Tongue

Old or new? I think the new BMW is both god awful and god awfully ugly. BMW's used to look differant from every other higher class car. Then they became as common as the focus, or at least here they have, and the designs changed for the worse.

I'd have to say my all-time fave is the '58 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa, for looks alone. It's a masterpiece in steel! Coming in close second would be any Jaguar E-type, with an early Stingray close behind...

Good looking cars
Lambo Miura, Countach (two extremes...)
Dodge Viper GTS and SRT-10

maybe i'm a bit biased but i would say that we still make the best looking cars (ok don't hit me Grin). i don't include sportscars as i'm not a big fan of those.
here are some examples of what i think are beautiful cars:

-BMW 7 series
-BMW 6 series
-Benz S class
-Maybach
-Audi a8
-Audi s6
-VW Phaeton

(the newest models of all of them)


and i absolutely despise french cars. they are unreliable and look either cheap or cr*p (and don't get me started on interiors). oh by the way, i've never owned a car that wasn't french Grin
