Great. Let's see your contribution.So, that said, there are very few modern car designs I think are actually good looking, let's be honest most, due to regulation, are plug-ugly and the majority instantly forgettable. Ferraris all look like Ferraris, BMWs all look ugly, Mercs all look bent in the middle, Porsches all look like 911s and Lambos all look like X-Wing fighters.
For a design to be good looking to me it needs to be fresh, appealing, different and instantly recognisable. Some I like have already been mention - indeed the only brand new car I've really hankered for recently is the Alfa 8C Competitzione, gorgeous even if it doesn't handle as well as the less good looking Fezza. The jag F-Type is nice but too big, Maserati have gone the same way, the new GT is bloody enormous and I'd be frightened of my next door neighbours cat getting sucked into the gaping mouth while I revved it on the drive!
No, modern cars are mostly crap however there is one that hits all the spots for me, it causes divides on Pistonheads so it's a Marmite design and as they're only made to order for wealthy Arabs I'll never get one but if I had to buy a new car today I'd opt for the new Aston Martin Lagonda Sedan.
