I'm sorry but I have to say this.... you have chavved up an Esprit? What were you thinking?
twom of the finest car designers ever design what was an unusually attractive car for Lotus and you think the Halfords parts bin will significantly improve it? Oh dear.
May i offer my candidates for rear of the year ....
the classic ... an XK140, clean classic lines, a work of art drawn in pen and ink rather than pixels and photoshop!!
A modern retro, the Z8. Not everyones taste, but to my mind, a great modern take on the classic clean lines. (And probably one of the few BMW's i would want to own)
And finally, my supercar entry, the Koenigsegg, Supercar agression without the fussyness that many have, i do have a sneaking admiration for the 'egg. If i ever had the money to buy a suprcar, this would always be the wild card that sneaks onto the list
and finally a predictable entry from Oz ....

You clearly cant recognize a nice looking car, even if it was to bite you on your own rear end! Its a stunning piece of kit.
What a wonderfully diverse world in which we live, in!

- the spoiler, WTF were they thinking, it looks like a very cheap Halfords add-on - the perspex looks cheap/naff and the ally supports even worse!
- the lights, naff
- the exhausts, ugly, pointless, ugly (did I say ugly)
- the roof bulge, good grief!
- the centre/bottom lights, huh?
- the ugly bulging bodywork below the reg plate
- the ugly rear chin
- the stupid vents above the rear wheels
- there is no lighting for the reg plate, you can only light it from behind in some countries (that is right isn't it?)
- stupid looking name badges
All those issues - and that's just the rear view!
Not TVR's best work.
The only way I'll be seeing the butt of one of those is when I pass it broken down on the hard-shoulder!

leaning towards the function dictating form maybe
a 512S looks pretty damned impressive if not exactly beautiful!
in terms of sheer design purity and elegance how about;
Alfa Giulietta SS
As regards gut wrenching fat, hairy arsed ugliness;
it's a toss-up between this and that bloody morgan!

Have to agree with Joe90.
They got it right with the T350.
Then they took a load of drugs.....and made the Sagaris.
Off topic- Ideal combination would be Sag front end and T350 rear end.... oh yes.. and built by Porsche.
