The Bentley Continental GT? Really?! I think it's attractive but hardly worth of the same consideration as cars like the Aston Martin DB7. The hood is too short and it looks exactly like what it is, the German's idea of what makes a British car British, but made to fit over an existing chasis.

Why no sedans? I think there have been some beautiful four doors in the last few years, the Jaguar XJ especially, but also the Rover 75, the Mazda 6, and the Ford Mondeo. As for the Lambo, I've always found the Diablo visually distinctive because it's so in-your-face, not because it's particularly well designed. How about a Gallardo, or Miura instead?

These are all realatively modern cars, was that intentional? It's probably easier that way, if you open it up to the best looking cars of all time you'd have to include cars like the XKE, Ferrari Daytona, Bugatti Royale, etc. For the record, I think the Aston Martin DB7 is the best looking car of all time, but then the new DB9 and AM V8 are definitely growing on me.

i'm not trying to diminish any of the supra's performance. as far as that goes it is a modding miracle. i just dont see how one can justify its looks above just about all other cars ever made... its not inspiring or appealing. of course, my opinions and a nickle will get ya a fat cup of JACK SQUAT.

Yes, really. They may not be the supermodels of the car world, but I think they qualify atleast for some sort of international beauty pagent.

supras a good looking car, could be pushed back a little, though. the viper is rather nice looking imo.

the aero 8 is hideous. it performs but its hideous. the zondas back is just plain old WRONG!
