Re: Best current production car design is…

Well it's not about the most beautiful cars, but about the best designed car. They could be ugly but iconic or yery influent. The CLS, the TT and the Elise are the best examples of such influent designs.
IMO the Z4 has an ugly front, but I still believe that it deserves a place in that list.

Re: Best current production car design is…

The first three choices are correct IMO, but the DB9 should be first not the Vantage. The DB9 is to me the best looking car in the world, period.

Re: Best current production car design is…

The Auston Martin Vantage first place? Thats my least favorite model of the brand. The DB9 should have gotton that place.

Glad to see the CLS in the top 5. I`ve been looking at the overall appeal
of the CLS from difference sourses and it`s really high! The CLS is going to be a big hit for awhile.

Re: Best current production car design is…

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the V8 Vantage either. Not that I think it's ugly or anything, it just doesn't do anything for me, it doesn't feel special enough.
