the point I am intended to make is actually quite different:

my argument is: if the car has a powerful engine and awesome handling ability and braking power, it will automatically look good.

The BMW M coupe is up there. My sig used to have a quote from C&D saying "The BMW M coupe still looks like the unholy union of a sausage and a packing crate." That's about on target.

I dunno, I think some of the exotics are ugly. Bugatti Veyron for example. Saw a Lamborghini Countach on the road the other day...looked like a toy car.

Somewhat of a performance car, but the current Subaru WRX is one ugly mug.

1970 Plymouth Superbird. Hell-on fast but goddamned ugly.

For a supercar, the Enzo needs some work. Built for aerodynamics apparently and not beauty.

Hey now.. I've got an '02 TA and really like it - I don't think they are bad looking. Now, the Camaro, on the other hand, looks like a long Saturn, IMHO.

I've also never like any of the BMW roadster hardtops. YUCK!

i normally keep out of car threads, especially when aesthetics are discussed. but... :Q
the sc 430 is an unbelievably gorgeous car. i don't care for the rims on the one you posted, and i prefer it in convertible, but damn. it's one of the sexiest cars i've ever seen. to each his own, i guess.

i "developed" a taste for the bmw m coupe (the hatchback, i believe). i used to think it's ugly, but it grew on me. now i think it's beautiful... in its own, special way.

i do like this thread, though. the willingness of people to put performance ahead of looks has always earned respect from me, kinda like a restaurant that looks like sh!t but has wonderful food.

I'd kill for one of those - my engine in a MR go-kart? I'm in :D doesn't look astonishing tho - it's practically a kit car

as for fugly, I'll say the Z4....that ugly, mongoloid freak car.

M Convertible I think is ugly. M Coupe is nice, but any Bimmer 3-series coupe turned convertible is just fugly. If you took a camry and lopped off its top it would look just like your average 3-series convertible.

WRX is pretty ugly, and the SC 430 is pretty ugly too. It's a huge blob with a tiny top.
