5 Most Beautiful Cars Ever

[Brown, Jon Brow]

An interesting idea for a thread, to share what we think are the best looking cars ever. My list in ascending order...

5) Jaguar XK8




4) Alfa Romeo Spider - a black one of these with tan leather is enough to get me tremendously excited!




3) Jaguar XJ220




2) Aston Martin DB7




1) Fiat Grande Punto

I'll disagree with most of that list

The XK8 - is very much a "golf clubs in the boot" car for the grey haired balding gentleman.

The Alfa? Depends on which one it is You've put the new one in Good stuff Tan leather is a no - no though!

XJ220 - Just not beautiful full stop. Sure it's powerful and fast but you can't simply say something's beautiful because it's fast

DB7 - Hasn't aged well at all sadly and had classy touches like Mazda door handles and rear lights.

The E-type? Not my type of car but I suppose I can understand why people like them I guess

[Brown, Jon Brow]

Give us your list..........

[Hazell B]

1 Aston Martin DB7 (Never liked the Vanquish, too clunky)
2 Aston Martin DB7 (still not keen on the Vanquish)
3 Aston Martin DB7 (that Vanquish still not doing it for me)
4 Aston Martin DB7 (leave the Vanquish to elderly spies)
5 Land Rover 90

Plain tastes I know, but frankly the Aston is prettier than Johnny Depp and the Landie is just more appealing than him.

If Jaguar was German then the cars wouldn't be elegant and stylish. They would be boxy and boring like Audi's and Volkswagens.

The British and the Italians know best about styling cars

[Daniel]

The British know nothing about styling and the Italians know best about styling cars

I agree

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I'll agree with most of that list

The XK8 - stunning car, I love them.

The Alfa? Depends on which one it is You've put the new one in Good stuff Tan leather is enough to give me a semi

XJ220 - Just beautiful full stop. And it's powerful and fast. Jaguar designed the best car of the 1980's

DB7 - Has aged well and had classy touches like Mazda door handles and rear lights.

The E-type? My type of car, I can't understand why people don't like them.

We seem to be agreeing on most things Daniel
