I was going to say porsche (because theyre simply the most elegant) but I realized they dont have a design direction. Theyve been designing the same car for decades (and its great!).

So I decided on BMW. There designs are really changing the automotive world. There different yet very aesthetic if you understand basic automotive design. Yes, in some angles they are not pretty. (personally Im not a big fan of the side view of the 5er).

Look at the new 3. That is probably the best looking car on the road. Its truly a beauty. I look at that car from every angle and it looks substantial and solid. Its very attractive.

Porsche follows the "if ain't broke, don't fix it" policy... suprise after the great sucess they've had that no one else has followed the same protocol??? More for Porsche then.

Yeah Porsche (which is spelled wrong in the poll) for me with Audi up there close behind besides the Shooting Brake which is great except for the awful grill.

Haha of course. I know some people spell it wrong on a regular basis, so I thought it was worth mentioning I suppose. The Carrera GT is one of the best looking cars around today IMO.

I like the new Jag too, the XK. But there are a few things about that car that bothers me including the tail lights and the huge rear overhang. I figured they would have fixed that in the new model but apparently not.

i voted audi because all there new concepts and most of there cars just look great to me. Just like the new shooting brake concept and the a5 are looking awsome and looking more "modernish" i guess
I dont really like the new mercedes direction like the s class and most of there cars that are coming out now based on that
Bmw is second i love the new m5 the face lifted 7 series has made that car wel much better and the 3 series looks amazing. so much better than the previous

The problem with that is Porsche has had the 911 for DECADES... therefore they can use that to their advantage I think. The car has history and it's know world wide. If the C-class stayed pretty much the same as it has been since the early days, I think that the boat just wouldn't float.

Plus, you also have to realize that Porsche is not a big car manufacturer like BMW and Benz and Audi.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it", does it mean that Porsche doesn't dare to venture into new territory?

Would they dare change the 911 the way BMW changed the 7er to the Bangle car?

I seriously doubt it very much.

Would they dare making new models, that's a different thing.
