Attractive across the range

[CR6ZZ]

After reading the "Well done BMW" thread where some posters state that all BMWs are ugly, is there a manufacturer whose current offerings are good looking across the entire range? Kia's mid sized cars are good looking (IMHO) but their small cars and SUVs look crap. Same with Alfas. Volvo? Aston maybe? Over to you.

Jaguar?

[Pannywagon]

Saab (or what is left of it)

I dont find any Ford a dudd in the looks department,ok the ka isnt great but even the new Transit is a bit of a looker.

This was going to be my nomination.

Mercedes are making some nice looking cars too at the moment

[LuS1fer]

VW and Seat are all inoffensive enough.

Totally agree, even the latest incarnations of the estate versions look good, base spec models still look decent compared to competitors, mpvs like the smax and galaxy dont have that "family man whos given up on life" look of say a seat altea xl, and as said the commercials like the new transit custom and the ranger pickup truck look handsome too.

Despite the best efforts of the XF's rear to look like a mondeo I have to agree.

The Focus is hardly a great looker at the back end and the Kuga is no oil painting. The STs tend to be a bit trouty at the front too.

The current Focus is awful, especially from the back. The rest of the range isn't bad, though.

I can't think of a big mainstream manufacturer with only good-looking cars in their lineup, although quite a few have nothing offensively ugly. Companies like Aston meet the criteria, but only really because they have one good design and keep using it on everything.

You think? I think both are quite good looking, especially compared to traditional direct competitors in the same price bracket - Astra and Antara are very dull IMO.

Then again, I think Land Rover now have a great looking range apart from the Freelander 2 - coming from someone who bought a FL2, it's not ugly but it's no looker either!

Volvos facelifted range is perfect IMO so much nicer than a 3

[anonymous-user]

Ill agree Volvo make some interesting and really good looking cars, particularly the estate models, but whilst they still sell these outdated relics you can't apply the across the range criteria!

[redtwin]

Volvo
Maserati
Lamborghini


I nearly added Porsche, but then I checked the website and realized I forgot about the Panamera. Same with Ferrari and the FF.

[okie592]

The xc90 is due for replacment and the xc70 is already based on the handsome new v70.

I don't think Vw have anything bad looking in the range, all pretty bland looking but certainly not ugly. Same with Audi and seat and skoda apart from the roomster if they still make it although I think the facelift superb is a bit wierd.

Another one is Mazda

Jag, Merc and Volvo I think are the prettiest at the moment.

BMW are plain ugly at the minute, VW, Skoda & Saab are a bit bland and boring.
