The most beautiful car in the world.

[Arkaign]

This belongs at least in the top 25 :

Agree on the 458, a stunning creation, even more so in person. Many Ferraris are actually bit wonky in person, but that one just works in every way.

I kind of agree on the cool vs. pretty argument. I saw a Veyron pass through Dallas on some Cannonball thing, and it was truly an awesome spectacle, but "beautiful" is very far from my mind when seeing one. It's kind of why a 68 Camaro SS is righteous, particularly in person with all the noise, fat rear tires, etc, but it's not a beautiful object so much as it's an assault on the senses.

Call me crazy but the final gen 3000GT and the MKIV Supra were pretty beautiful cars (for more common vehicles), even if the 3000GT was junk and the Supra was near perfect if it weren't for those hideous bulging eyes. Both were ahead of their time.

You know what's kindof funny is that the lexus sc300 had a higher msrp than the supra's. It's pretty crazy how the hype of the fast and the furious series affected the resale on those cars.

406 coupé.
Every time I see one, I feel this longing.
I will have one in my life one day, even though it will probably be rubbish.
But it's the most pretty per buck you can get.

It's not desperately pretty, but just so anatomically correct, and not shouting for attention.

I think the Elantra is one of the better looking vehicles on the roads today - I thought this right after they were put on the roads a couple years ago - I had to do a double take after seeing a curvy H logo on the back. We're about to buy one because my wife needs a commuter car. We're picking it because it's top 2 in the segment (Impreza #1) and because of its looks. Just wish there were more wheel options.

As far as underdogs, the Kia Optima SX is also up there.

I feel like the 92-93 geo metro was really the pinnacle of automotive design.

The Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is absolutely beautiful, I had an opportunity to see one in person a while ago and pictures don't even do it justice. I'm not an Alfa fan at all but that car is stunning.

Where is the Series 1 XJ Jaguar??? or E-type?? Fail.

If I saw someone driving one of them, I would assume they got it from their grandma and just couldn't afford a better car.

Shoulda been an E-Type over that XKSS.

Elantra must be some sort of joke. I don't even think it's a good looking car... It looks like it melted in a wind tunnel. Cars need some lines, this new "fluidic" crap from Mazda and Hyundai is NOT my thing at all.

I think the F40 should have been on the list too. Definitely probably my favorite car ever.
