Ok, bit of fun here. But who in your opinion makes the best looking line up of cars currently?

Meaning, which car maker across all their current model range produces overall the prettiest or best looking cars? To keep it fair I think it needs to be a 'mass production' car maker. So anything Porsche or higher can't really be counted, so no supercar or sports car builders only, the model range needs to consist of at least a few normal cars.

I think my nomination would currently be Volvo!! eek

Not the biggest range which sort of helps. But they are all well penned, handsome and with a couple of them really good looking cars. In short you can't as far as I know by a minging looking new Volvo.

So who would get your vote? smile

Jaguar's current range all look fantastic, so they get my vote now... Five years ago I'd have said Maserati, before the GranTurismo range came out.

I probably would have said Alfa, amongst the mainstream manufacturers at least, until they released the Brera which is not a nice looking car; everything since the Brera (except possibly the Spider) has just been ugly . Now, I don't think anyone in the mainstream really stands out.

ETA: Actually maybe Jaguar.

Jag or Maseratti. (Now that the quattroporte has nearly completed its transition from 'Ugly Duckling' to 'Swan')

Alfa's are (mostly) ugly (often with nice design touches, admittedly)


Aston's are good looking cars, but they all look so similar, and they definitely lose points for the cygnet.

Alfa?



No.

I can’t pick out a firm favourite but I do like the current crop of Mercedes and Volvo ranges. Handsome cars.

Nearly all Alfa Romeos since the 159 look foul IMHO.

Tricky to nominate the whole range isn't it?
I like the Alfa 159 and Brera, but can't really get on with the smaller hatches.

So, it has to be Maserati, Aston (I'm ignoring the Cygnet!), Jag.

Maybe Morgan too?

I might have been tempted to say Alfa too but the Giulietta is minging IMO. Also the ridiculous front overhang of the Brera and 159 ruin both.

Danni Bahar is probably considered pretty good looking. I can't think of any good looking female car makers. It's definitely not Carlos Ghosn though.

Did I understand the thread topic correctly?
