Heh, I am still yet to understand and appreciate the beauty of cars. Maybe when I start driving more. ;)

[color=66ff00]Actually, I rate the Vanquish as the only beautiful car I've ever seen.

That Marcoss is horrible looking, but I guess people don't buy it for looks. (Or do they? :nervous: )

Oh, if we're talking about the most beautiful cars of all time, then the classic late 50's Thunderbird in black, hands down.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

Raa Tor'h, they're so... generic! Seriously they look like your average road car - nothing special at all.

Oh... and how do you like this?

classic cars OWN.  Hands down.  There was something in the design and implementation back then that I think many auto makers have lost sight of.  I'm referring to American cars.

Who's waking up?  Cheverolet with their new line up is certainly waking up and going to their roots.  Ford is going to be doing that as soon as their new mustang comes out, which looks very much a classic.

And when I say that automakers are waking up, I don't mean they're making their cars retro.  In the past there was a certain art and dedication in designing a car that I think was lost.

Generic? I think not. More like classic good looks. Unlike those things you posted. Besides, I don't know about where you live, but they are _very_ uncommon here. Infact, there are only about 2 Maserati dealerships in the US. In Louisiana, and in California, I believe.

Alot of these newer cars are just so uninspired/fugly they make me sick. There are only 2 cars I have intentions of buying:



And



Unfortunately, the FTO was never sold in America, but should I ever manage to save up ~$20,000 I'll get one imported. :nod:  I don't care if it's not worth it.

Maserati's are a dime a dozen in Miami.  There's a dealership of exotic cars 5 minutes from my house.  That's why I see them so much in coral gables.

That dealership takes practically an entire block.  It's a beautiful dealership.  They have an Enzo on a platform in the lobby that spins, sitting right infront of the corner window so everyone can "oooooo" and aaaah" and get into an accident.

I dont really like the cerbera model, its a little too ugly and blocky for my liking.
