I was looking at pics of the Ferrari 250 GTE, and thinking how elegant classic cars are.

Are there any cars the people of PH can think of that are modern but elegant? I'm having trouble thinking!

I'm not big on things elegant, but this came to my mind.

Maserati GT, Alfa Romeo 159, Porsche cayman, Ferrari f430....Loads of elagant cars, although its rather subjective depending on your interpretation of the word.

Are you sure its not just nostalgia thats making you think this?

Really!!? Which bit do you think is elegant? I realise it's subjective but I thought this was more aggressive, almost awkward, than elegant.

The current Jaguar XK and to a lesser extent the F-type are fairly elegant looking, to my eye.

X300 and X308 XJs are rather elegant IMHO, and still modern-ish.

I was just looking at pictures from this year's Paris Motor Show and I thought what an ugly bunch they all looked.

Phantom is as elegant as a three trunked elephant. Truly hideous things, although they're better than the Ghost, but then again so is John Merrick.

Aston is about the only manufacturer to have any elegance at the moment.
