Not a thread I've seen before, plenty of 60's thru 80's though.

Is this a joke thread or did you link the wrong pics by mistake?

Best looking cars of an entire decade and those are the first two that spring to mind?

So many.

Don't agree on the Mustang or the MINI - both are clumsy pastiches of the pretty originals.

Ford GT - but arguably, it's really a 60's design.

In pure terms, probably the Aston V8 Vantage - but familiarity has dulled the impact of that perfectly proportioned shape - and the convertible is just as pretty.

I think it's a homage to cars from previous decades. I.e. the noughties had no good-looking original designs, they just copied old favourites.

If it wasnt for the 19000 posts I would have called Troll with the first two suggestions.

The Sag is ugly, so so ugly that it is brutally beautiful. Pure testosterone on for wheels. Want!

[as in every other thread like this] yes but its sump plug gasket was used in one car before the noughties, so its not really a noughties car, is it... [/aieotlt]

The DB9?


Jaguar XK?



A lot of car manufacturers didnt make beautiful cars in the noughties. Inteetsing yes, but not beautiful

Alfa Romeo did some lovely 00s designs.



Will eta the 8c when I find the phot.

And here it is:



You could argue it's a 60s design too, like a Ford GT, but I think it's different enough to be a noughties design.

God this is tricky. A decade dogged by EU safety laws turning cars into lumpen messes all round, coupled with nullifying corporate 'looks' that made everyone a simpering copycat desperately cribbing each others bonnet vents and exhaust outlets and banging on about 'the brand the brand the brand'. Still, here goes:
