Do all cars look better from above?

[jon-]

I'm struggling to find a car that doesn't look better from above than from the side...

Obvious cars:

R8 Spyder


Aston Martin Vanquish


But then even ugly cars just seem to work from above...

Smart


Volvo V40 (terrible looking thing)

No....

That smart reminds me of some sort of bug or insect.

I've always had a thing where about 20 deg off the centreline, looking down the side looks the best, especially for a couple of 5 series BMWs I had, E34 and E39.

I'm betting that looks better directly from above than the train wreck it looks like from the side!

slight thread resurrection here, but ...

Slight?

It’s been the best part of a decade.

Eeh, remember when GTA had just a top-down view? Cars only seen from above, none of this fanciness that started with GTA 3.
