What's the best looking car ever made?


Recommended Posts

After reading through some of the other ugly thread, I thought i'd create a nice car thread.

Audi cars (the later ones) seem to look nicer to. Even their "family" cars look okay.

Bugatti Veyron is another nice looking car.

A number plate would spoil that though ^

I have always liked the front of BMW's. They look like animals:

Boo on the Veyron. It is a stunning piece of engineering, but I don't find it attractive. I would rather look at it's engine than it's body.

I agree on the Audi's. All their cars have always been attractive. I have a 85 Quattro and it still looks good even 20 years down the road.

For me the pinnacle was the early 60's Lotus Elan. Simple, elegant, sporty, classic.

I also submit the 3rd generation RX-7 as a contender. The new Aston Martin DB9's are great looking also. You didn't specify production cars, so the Ford GT40 (in Gulf livery) has a spot in my heart. Too many good cars out there really to specify even just a few. I could probably come up with 20 that could compete and I already know that I'm missing some obvious ones.

Edit: Bah, I knew I was forgetting some obvious ones. Ferrari Dino 308 jumped to mind.

I've always thought the Veyron is insanely ugly... nice piece of engineering though.

Here's my picks:

Audi A4 B8.

Despite what people says, I actually like the new TSX (Real life is way better than the pics). The driving dynamics are meh though.

That's my 07 Honda Civic (8th gen)

Honda Accord Coupe (Looks really nice in real life).

The Lexus IS250 isn't bad, wouldn't drive one though.

Infiniti G37.

That's about it for now, haha.

i see most of you have fallen into audi's marketing plot

everybody thinks they are cool, cos they are in the movies and on tv....

but the truth is, all their models LOOK THE SAME, from a distance you have no idea which model it is until it comes close enough for you to read the badge!

And i hate those christmas lights they put on their cars!

I would vote for the mercedes SL (not the face lifted one)

And the Aston Martin DP9 and Jaguar XK

Easy :)

If this car looks great on photo, it looks even greater live. Everybody looks at you when you're driving one... I talk from experience, its an amazing car at all levels.

In the "affordable" group, I really love my Rover 45 or my girlfriend's BMW 318

Edited by PT 13

my overall favorite super car (and Ferrari's masterpiece) is the...

"Ferrari F40" (feels like a gutted out race car ;) ) , which i consider to be the best super car ever made and it was also the first production car to break the 200mph barrier.

plus it has great sound to, especially the racing version called the 'Ferrari F40 LM'

if your looking at 'muscle cars' i would either choose the Shelby GT500 (1967-68) or the Shelby Cobra (of the 1960's)

as far as 'Jap Cars'... i choose NONE cause they all sound like crap and i cant take them seriously in terms of performance with those crappy 4-cyl engines.

I hear that, the 1967 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500 is just about my most favorite car of all time :yes:

also i guess i should be even more specific... i prefer the body style of the GT500 from the 2000 movie 'gone in 60 seconds' (i.e. Eleanor)

but yeah... even stock ones are great ;)

While the new Eleanor is great looking also. I prefer the original Eleanor's body style much more. I'd even go with the black and yellow paint.

    • No, size is not the only selling point. I did not even remotely say that. Your claim was that "building your own will be faster and cheaper". This is false. You cannot build something close to that form factor with off-the-shelf parts. You can build a Mini-ITX PC and pay more, or something larger and pay less. But these are different market segments. It's apples and oranges.
    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
