The fact that someone couldn't wait past the first page of this post to disgrace it with ricer jap cars is sickening. This world is going down a road of douche baggery that it's likely never to recover from. There is no such thing as a "hot" Honda Civic or a "bad ass" Mitsubishi Lancer. You need to find yourself a pair of balls, dust them off and promptly burn them to a cinder because you don't deserve a pair. Anything with less than 8 cylinders can barely be considered a proper vehicle.

With that out of the way I'd have to vote for the original Ford GT or the new GT40.

The caterham I posted is only a 4 cylinder and is one of the fastest cars in the world (not top speed, but around a track and acceleration).

Cord 810/812

The design of the Cord 810/812 remains one of the most distinctive of the 20th century. In 1996, American Heritage magazine proclaimed the Cord 810 sedan ?The Single Most Beautiful American Car.? The ?Classic Cord? Hot Wheels toy car of the 1960s, a convertible coupe, is one of the most valuable, and commands up to $800 (2006) if still in an unopened package.

The Honda NSX has a V6 producing 300HP and it challenged Ferrari's at the time. The BMW M3 E46 and Nissan Skyline GT-R 2000s had straight 6 engines.

... I can go on but that would be useless as I've already proven my point.

Huh? I have to touch on this and I agree and appreciate your dislike of ricers. The time for huge exhaust tips spouting angry bees and wings the size of park benches that either do nothing or actually hurt performance has passed. Don't even get me started on the fake air vents and neon lights everywhere.

I also appreciate your rant. I may have to steal that.

However I did not see where engine size is important in a discussion about automobile styling at all. It could be powered by a coal fired steam turbine for all I care. This thread was about looks not performance. As a rotary owner amongst other cars including three 8 cylinders, not muscle cars sadly. I'll counter by saying you guys with your pistons and cylinders are ole' fashioned (not really). Really there are a variety of good engines out there now that are good performance everything from 1.3 rotary to inline fours up to W16's. Muscle cars are fun, but so are other cars especially lightweight sports cars. You are missing some great cars by limiting yourself to 8 cylinders.

I take it you drive a 5mpg car that can't corner then? Now, while I don't like the Evo or Civic much looks-wise, you?cannot claim?for one moment that a Mazda Furai?is?not beautiful. Oh, it?has ZERO cylinders. Rotary, dontcha know.

Ok I'll claim it. The Furai is not beautiful. I'm a Mazda fan and I don't like the looks of it. It looks like the Batmobile mated with a LeMans prototype with a bit of Wilford Brimley thrown in. And I guess in some ways it did. I understand all those strange curves are functional at high speed and I anticipate Mazda's return to LeMans racing especially the 24. I'll even root for them and I appreciate the car as a race car, but I hope if they bring it to market it eliminates some of the weird mustache hairs at the front.

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
