What's wrong with the circled bit on the Lotus?

Very Spada period Zagatoesque, that. Like it a lot.

To my eye it was a mistake to make the roof line tie into the lower rear window glass and that rear quarter area has lines going every which way. Ferrari and Artega deal with this area more elegantly.

I dont think the Cayman looks wrong at all.

Am I the only person that finds the LFA visually offensive?

It's just too busy.

...and dont get me started on the Spyker C8:




Yukky.

I can't put my finger on it, but I like these though not worth the premium a good one seems to bring these days

1 series was the first thing I thought of too oddly enough. It looks like someone made the shape of a car in plastic, then ran around with a heat gun and shrunk bits of it at random.

They Cayman though? I think they're a good looking car.

I'll also add the Saabs with the stupid Dame Edna spectacle headlights, most new Audis, the BMW 5 series GT, BMW X6, and latest shape Impreza.

Went to a clinic thing to view the XJ just before it was launched, and was dubious, I confess. Interior stunning, outside not so sure.

Since then I've seen a few on the road and they have massive presence. Think it looks great.



Oh, and those saying SZ need to take their medication.

All Ferrari models after the 355.

Just don't like the styling of these modern Ferraris.

Ugly lines and especially those funny small rear light clusters.

I love the interior of the Spyker but the exterior looks like it was designed by about 10 different people who have never met.

My God that Spyker is 'interesting'

Mid 90's Camaro's for me I'm afraid. Dodgy overhangs..... a car devoid of style.

I agree, it looks bloody awful, which is a shame as I really want one.

^ Is it me, but if the roofline followed the line of the windows, it would look like a Mk2 ford focus, bar the bonnet.

(I mean the Ssangyong thing)
