Ok, I'm changing my #1 vote to the new CLK63 Black Series. Good God...does it get any better than this?!?

Well there is the CLK DTM, I'd take that 5.5 S/C over the 6.2 anyday.

Re: Best Looking Modern Car- Nominations

1...The Zonda F, absolutley gorgeous


2...The CC-X, the sweeping lines, the wrap-around windshield, the way its so wild


3...The Murcielago LP640, more aggresive styling makes it more of a Lamborghini, and less of an Audi

Re: Best Looking Modern Car- Nominations

3 points.
Although german car styling is tasteless, boring and sterile overall, (Mercedes, Porsche, BMW), I find this a very tasteful outcome of a retro idea. Longer is better.


Sorry, no more points. Car styling today does not speak to me. It's all just a fair outcome of a 4week period of 3d-rendering a 12 year old boy's dreamcar. I'd say it's very similar to pop music, actually. Though I would say that my own countrymen at Ängelholm have made quite a big achievement with the styling on the CC series. Just some guys making it as they like it. Still, there is too much I'd like to add, bend and take away. Also, at Saab, things have always been good, and is not loosing it's own finesse, but they're too scared to make the characteristics all the way out, so no points.

Re: Best Looking Modern Car- Nominations

ooo thanks...ahh pistonheads.com you suck! any ways here it is again. Hopefully the pics stay in working order this time around

1...The Zonda F; lightweight, built like a proper super-car, but above all... its absolutley gorgeous


2...The CC-X; the sweeping lines, the wrap-around windshield, the wild-ness, and ofcourse the power


3...The Murcielago LP640; more aggresive styling makes it more of a Lamborghini, and less of an Audi

Well I've actually been thinking about this for a while now. Really I was hoping for greater response, more like what we saw in the car of the year posts. ~20 posts really isn't enough to make a final pole. So unless a bunch more people post, I think I'm going to let this one die.

Re: Best Looking Modern Car- Nominations

There needs to be somebody to represent the great looking economy cars over here so here it goes.

3 points And number 1 goes to the true 21st Century Bug, Mitsubishi i-Minicar. I hope it makes it to North America at some point, and up the engine displacement slightly.

Click here for more good pictures.

2 points For number two, is the number one selling subcompact in North America since Y2k the Mini Cooper.


Most of you must see enough of these around so no more pics are needed

1 point To now being sold in Japan and Europe 2008 Mazda2. I hope the new Ford Fiesta soon to be sold in North America based on this looks even about as good.

Autoblog has better pics.

And best looking box go to Subaru Stella for no points or apparent reason aside from Subaru bias.
