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.
have any good pictures of those not listed? thanks

g class??? its cool but not one of the nicest
supra??? its a great car, very good one but there r lots of better looking cars
altezza havent heard of it before.
continetal gt?? is not bad... but there r better

*i respect ur choices btw.

carrera gt i respect as an automobile. its styling is nice, but i dont find it very pleasing. ford gt is not within my taste. im not too fond of american styling. the zonda's rear is hideous. the clio is cute. but not too great looking ;] the r34 as i said is pretty damn cool, but its styling isnt too unique imo. and the murc.... kinda ugly...

no jap cars ever looked any good...except the Toyota 2000 GT maybe....dont get me wrong ..they are modding miracles..but dont look any good....the G-Wagen also doesn't look good....it looks suited for what it's supposed to do...the X5 looks better...if you liked the G-Wagen..where's the LM002? and it was nice to include the Altezza because you own one...but otherwise...i dont think so..

IMHO this thread is a total waste of time. Taste is very personal. I don't really agree with your list, but that's neither your or my fault. There is no wrong or right on this subject.

not too big of a fan of the r34. just doesnt stand out too well. you can find many people agree that the db7 is plenty beautiful )

but i'll choose the r34 over the db7. if its the vanquish then thats a whole different story

and theres no need for calling names. if you keep it up, you'll get the boot like one guy recently received. if stradale thinks its a waste of time then let it be. and he is right, if you like something so much, no one would be able to affect your own reasons for liking it.

Oh, good call, I totally forgot how beautiful the Silvia was. It definitely deserves to be on the list. You're totally off on the Astons though. How can anyone actually think a Vanquish looks better than a DB7 (and you're not the only one)? On a pure looks basis the Vanquish is at best in the top 30 best looking cars, the DB7 is just so much more pure and fluid, the Vanquish is awkward and forced.

I certainly agree with u putting the Aston Martins on the list. The same goes to the Diablo (if your talking about the 6.0 VT version) and the F40, but why the hell did u nominate an F50 ? It's the ugliest Ferraris there ever was. I'd replace it with the Testarossa or 348. Lotus- cool, Bentley- cool, but I've never heard of the Toyota Altezza.

My point is that it's no use arguing over someone's favourite cars. After all, that was what you intended. If you want my favourite 15 then say so.

Oh, and don't call me (or anybody else for that matter) an idiot. This isn't RF, so it's not the way we do things around here.

i don't see how the vanquish is awkward. maybe its because i like to see those bulging muscular lines.
