Prettiest car ever made?

[Niffty951]

Just remembered another old favorite...



Pretty? NO! But thats why its so attractive!

p.s. No offense taken chap I like hearing peoples opinions (so long as I get to argue my case;)

Jaguar Lister XJS

And the 'replica' converted from a standard XJS to the 7.0l wide body.

I would say it holds it own, yes it's more a bulldog but I reckon it just about qualifies.

Doesn't have to be. This is the "post a picture of a car. Any car" thread. Didn't you read the title?

Yeah, that and posting pics of the car they own.

To me, these are pretty cars -

[stephen300o]

Half of those don't look pretty to me, you sure not just posting your favourite cars?

[kambites]

I'd agree that they're all pretty.

Don't particularly like the looks of some of them, but they all have that effeminate edge to them which defines "pretty".

Definitely not.

Bingo. That's exactly what I was trying to illustrate with the cars above.

It's the q-plate that spoils it...

I have to differ. It's gorgeous, but most assuredly not pretty.

No.

Attractive - oh, yes
Striking - yes
Distinctive - yes
Aggressive - yes
Brutal - yes
Ugly - arguably
Pretty - absolutely not, not even a little bit


edit - unless you meant a Giulietta SZ, then you might have a case

Depends what your definition of pretty is. I would certainly say that blibs Stratos is pretty as is an X1/9 despite the wedge shape.

[HAB]

X1/9 - Pretty
Stratos - Great looking but not pretty. Jamieboys description above of the SZ also works for the Stratos.


There's hardly been any properly pretty cars since the end of the 60's. The X1/9 is a notable exception.

imho.

[Lefty Guns]

OK, can anyone think of any modern (<10 years old) pretty cars?

S1 Elise (maybe)
Alfa GTV
Alfa 156 (not the one with the huge wing)

Hmmm, tricky one...

[G'kar]

Alfa 8C is pretty. Even to Stevie Wonder.
