Award for Bentley

World's most beautiful luxury car?

Hmm, five spoke alloys with fake three piece effects with bolt heads, voted most beautiful wheel by hoards of Nova owners as well!

A great design should transcend it's 'jewellry'. That's what the Nova crew don't understand. I remember talking to one of them about car design and he said the Aston Martin DB7 looked 'old hat' because the rear light clusters were not cast in a single-colour transparancy. To such an extent, the Bentley is beautiful because the alloys, light cluster colours etc, don't matter. I would have voted for the DB7, though.

Well said, but I doubt the DB7 would be in the luxury car category......
