What (in your opinion), is the best-looking new car on sale today?

For me, it has to be something British or Italian but funnily enough not a Ferrari (as I don't think they have made a genuinely beautiful-looking car since the 355 - still wouldn't turn one down though and the thought of a 360 Challenge Stradale still makes me feel a bit gooey, even though I'm not a fan of the regular 360's looks).

So perhaps, Alfa 4C?



or Lamborghini Hurracan (or is it a bit generic Lamborghini)?



These two are old designs now and perhaps a bit too familiar but still look so right





Arguably even better looking in Volante form!



I think the F-Type Coupe marginally trumps the Alfa for me though, simply because I'm not sure if the 4C is as good-looking as the 8C and the F-Type Coupe is simply divine!

That's a tricky question.





...are all nice still.

But i'd have to go with the BMW i8. They look even better in the flesh:

Another vote for the F-type Coupe..it's just bloody lovely.

The 991 Turbo S and GT3 look awsome too.

Assuming replicas and continuations of old cars don't count, I suppose I'd have to go for the V8 Vantage coupe. I don't like the front end of the F-type.

Another one for the F-Type coupe. Saw one in the metal for the first time yesterday and it was stunning, perfectly proportioned.

F-Type Coupe for me, too. In V6 form especially, I love those central exhausts cloud9

They do have a very good rear light design, but the overall 'look' is spoiled by seeing them as rental cars and taxi cabs in the States.

'Generic Lamborghini'?

Oxymoron of the day?

For me it's the F-Type Coupé. It's utterly stunning.

Maybe not the best way to describe it. It is undoubtably a great looking car but the latest generation of Lamborghinis (Hurracan, Aventador) look a bit evolutionary and predictable in their design compared to the Gallardo and Murcielago when they first came out, which had that "wow" factor you expect from a Lamborghini.

I think its safe to say from the reviews I have read and videos I have watched that they have managed to make it drive like a "Generic Audi" though.
