No question about it, the glorious W201.

I can understand the appeal as a package for these cars, although I really didn't like the one we had.

But visually they are bland and boring and even a bit ugly, but mostly just bland. I just can't get my head around how anyone can cite these as 'best looking'???

And thats why art galleries sell more than one kind of painting.

Arent they the cars with the odd looking wonky wing mirrors?

This threads gone off the rails, ended up with Allegros and taxis.

Beautiful? No.
Ugly? Certainly not.

They were a very good looking car when they were launched. Can they stand up to some of their contemporaries above, sure. Can they beat the most beautiful from history. I'd say not.

But beauty is in the eye of the beholder....and the poster's username containing 2.5-16 throws a hint as to what his eye beholds ;-)

I like the e90 saloon myself.. must be lci though.

Ooo spooky coincidence. I’m walking down that road while I’m reading this.

If any owners need a kidney as a swap please PM me now. Surely the most beautiful four door car ever, the RR Silver Cloud.



Failing that I do have a very soft spot for the Series III XJ in Daimler guise..

Have we done the Iso Fidia yet?

In the flesh they are stunning

Some good options, but surely a Monica has to be the best:-

Ferrari Pinin, though it does have a lot of Bitter SC about it

You know they did a 4-door SC as well? One prototype with the coupe roofline and five production cars with a slight increase in roof height. Six inch stretch gave plenty of rear legroom (the coupe is a proper four seater already).

Once I've got my old SC back, a Monica is next on my lottery list.

I remember drooling over one at the Motor Show, Earls Court circa 1976.
