who ever picks the corvette deserves to be shot..the back of the car is so hideous that i'd rather ride in a kia

[Arashi666]

Well I wouldnt choose any of those Americans, its all WAYYYYYY too much plastic to be cool, I really dont want to vote simply because well......... I cant seem to pick one

the NSX is so nice, but then the Ferrari F40 is my all time favorite Ferrari, then theres the Lambos, theyre soooooooooooooo nice

OK, i guess i'll cast my vote for Ferrari, sorry Honda, its just better

why did u make so many options..alot of the italian cars are beautiful..you should do a poll of like the best looking lambo or the best looking ferrari

[Arashi666]

This is why:



see IMO, Viper money is NSX money, while the NSX isnt too fast, i'll admit, it beats the crap out of any Viper in looks.
Nothing looks better than a viper.
And if you want a nsx, might as well save some money and just get an accord.

its in an ongoing thread and I just want to see how this Viper stacks up

it in the Viper beat by the Audi thread in the Car Talk folder if youre interested


oh and the GT-R pic finally loaded for me, and well, its the F&F GT-R, thats WAYYYYYYY too much neon for my taste, its a car not the Las Vegas Strip......... but I do agree a good R34 skyline looks awesome

Bring it, I'll be waiting for you. Hope you can run faster then 3200 ft/s :evil:

Actually, alot of those cars look good. IMHO All of the Italian and American cars look the best.

60's GM cars win hands down.

... TVR, not terrible, but not a personal favorite of mine, if its got the british flag on it its gonna be an Aston for me

interestingly there are no votes for the F60 or the SLR yet, interesting, theyre nice lookin cars, but I guess there are better ones out there

[JonMR2V1]

yeah i like aston martin too but prefer the uniqueness of TVR.

[erickonphoenix]

I know it's out of bounds but if they build it I'll buy one.
Saab Aero X. Imagine the freedom of life without A-pillars.

I personally like the new Mustang GTs or Saleens. A-Town Navi's looks real nice.

Kinda like my old Saab 900's... every time I drive another car, going round a curve or out of a parking lot I keep looking at the A-pillar :lol: Wraparound windshield comes in handy 8)

Why is the viper there???? looks like a hotdog on wheels. the viper doesnt even compare to euro super car's.

[Arashi666]

So I take it nobody likes the McMerc................ interesting

[Cloud9]

The Merc SLR Mc is a great car, but it's way over priced for it's performance at $415K but I hear most are selling for half that because they are having trouble selling them.

I'm not too impressed with the looks of the car either.

[SmaartAasSaabr]

My father saw one at the Benz dealer a few months ago, told me he saw the new SL, and said "damn when did the SL jump from 100K$ to like 450k$?!!!" :shock:

"Ah that must have been the SLR McLaren 8) "

IMO the looks are kinda odd, not really my style like most recent Mercs (though I loved Bruno Sacco's theme in the 80's and 90's, witness R129 was beautiful, so were the 124, even the W201 and 140...). But no manual gearbox! I guess, if I had $450k$ in cash, and went to Stuttgart, they would custom make me an SLR McLaren with a manual gearbox. :lol:

There is no denying that the SLR is an absolutely excellent road eating machine. It just doesn't look very sexy and why does it have a transmission from a dictator's limousine :lol:

right since when did a Vette LOOK better than a Ferrari :?

2nd is the Carrera GT, not a bad looking car I must say, from the front anyways, if from the front quarter or dead on, and also the back, it looks like a$$ from a side shot, just how the cabin ends off, it just suddenly dies

[Cloud9]

The lines of the newer C6 Vette look very similar to that of the new ferarris.. C6 styling is much better than some of the past vettes. The C4 Vette is my least favorite looking vette.

[SmaartAasSaabr]

right since when did a Vette LOOK better than a Ferrari :?

Between 1963 and 1967. An absolutely stunning triumph of aesthetic design. Coupe or convertible. And from any angle... Ferraris always had hideous rear end treatments ("whatsa behind me does notta matta") until fairly recently.

Love the "double bubble" dash, and the gauges with the needles that bend inward are awesome as well.

[erickonphoenix]

Supposedly the C2 was the "inspiration" car for the C6. I don't see it except for the fender flares. But frankly I don't care so much how the C6 looks. It's finally a real GT car that goes fast, handles great and gets decent gas mileage.

However, had to vote for the Aston. That car is art.

[SmaartAasSaabr]

I see a lot of the C2 in the C6, mostly the abbreviated tail. I wonder why GM thinks the "C1" is the '53-62, since the 56 was a completely new body than the 53-55...

These are nice (1976 Firebird Formula)

And the husky look of a '70 442 (hehe nice imagery)

The Saab Sonett III (restyled by Sergio Coggiola) always looked good, but I can't really fit inside... "the world's only front-wheel drive sports car" :D

I love it, your going to slap me in the face because my opinion differs from yours. Like I told the other guy, I hope you can run faster then 3200 ft/sec if you do try and "slap me in the face". Your acting like your opinion is fact, which it is not.

Saab, I agree with you 100%. C2 looks better then pretty much any other car on the road. IMHO, the best looking years are 1963 (Split Window ftw) and 1967 (L88 hood ftw). There are many 1960's American cars that look better then anything made.

I think ASSton martin's look like shat!

[Cloud9]

The C6 body style was designed after the F-22 Raptor fighter Jet. It's been in several articles.

I would have said it to be patterned more after the C5 than anything else :lol:

Not sure what 3200ft/sec has to do with anything nor do i pertically care to be honest. Performace is not included.. or am i missing out on your joke of some sort ? I have a strong opinion, but no where did i say for a fact. Please read more carefully.

You have a love or a passion for GM i believe i saw.. understandable, as i like all kinds of cars.

Maybe im just tired of always seeing vettes, but this id like to see for once. Exclusivness is something i desire as well.

[SmaartAasSaabr]

Nah I see a few of those around too. The styling doesn't make me drop my jaw though, especially when you consider it's just a rebadged Jag XK8 :wink:

[Arashi666]

I see a DB9 (the same one) every day, so i gotta say Astons arent that special to me anymore............ Ferraris still have that awe factor to me though, and it seems the Enzo is catching up to the American

[erickonphoenix]

I'm cheating again because it's not a production car but I saw this one live at the Houston Grand Prix and fell in love. The sound that engine makes is frankly astounding.

Its perfectly ok for you not to like the Corvette, and your right by saying that I have an undeniable love for GM, but I was referring to your statement about slapping people in the face for thinking a Corvette is better looking then an Aston Martin. I happen to think that Aston Martin doesn't look good, and that the Corvette looks great, so that makes your comment applying to me. A .223 shot out of a AR-15 goes about 3200 ft/sec, and I was referring to someone trying to slap me in the face ;)
