My vote goes on the E92 M-Sport Coupe.

The angel eyes look fantastic. It just looks like a very classy car.

You see lots of them, but they look great. I can't think of another reppy style, every day car that looks better?

Funny how people's views of attractiveness differ isn't it. To me the E92 isn't even the best looking model in the E9x three-series range, let alone on the market. In fact I'd go so far as to call it badly proportioned, bloated and ugly.

The A5 is probably the best looking car in that market segment to my eye; the best looking "mainstream" car overall is a harder question because there's so much variety. Maybe the Jaguar XF?

Current Jaguar XF gets my vote!

Moving down a rung, I also like the current Merc C Class in the right spec/colour combo.

Yeah I guess it's subjective but the A5 to me looks very try-hard.

That's without driving them both. In which case the gap widens.

I like the E92 coupe too, its almost a shame there are so many of them and their image is tarnished by cocks.

I personally like the styling of the Mk6 Golf GTi too.

Not very PH but I do like the Kia Sportage. Seems I'm not the only one given the number I see on the road.

I quite like the new Volvo V60 actually, keep noticing them on the roads.

I know it's no longer in production but for a modern mainstream car amongst a sea of pretentious Fords with 'New Edge Fussy trendiness' it's beautiful.



And I think the new Charger is just an beautiful Epic car, the rear end is nicely cleaned up, the interior has been restyled by Fiat and the Dual VVT 3.6 V6 is frugal.

Agree 100% on both the Alfa GT and 159, but for my money the Brera (159 coupe) edges them both.
Love the irony on the Dodge

Not a fan of Alfa's but that does look quite good.

Nevertheless, the OP was correct in his first post and there was no need for the thread to have continued thereafter.

Nah the Brera is dumpy from the side and downright horrible from the rear.

The rear on the 159 is probably it's best asset (amongst many).

The GT is gorgeous though.

yes The Brera is nicely detailed, but the overall shape is horrible; the 159 is much better(although the front overhang is still too long).

You do not want to see the mental image I have now.

I'm just glad I don't have a picture of a E92 nearby.
