3. Benz. Benz was #1 until they started going with this "HEY LOOK AT ME" styling. I find their previous lineup to be PERFECT. They still though, command presence and the CLS/SL are insane! ML class looks good.
4. Cadillac. Yup caddy. You can tell it is one a mile away. With larger wheels, the proportions make more sense. The STS is a nice looking car, the new CTS looks good. SRX with the 20s is nice.
5. Volvo. Yup, volvo. Swoopy and great proportions. They all have similar cues and while look TOO similar, its not a bad thing there. Their SUV looks like crap.
I can go into 6-10 if you want...
I like your list. Just about a week ago I watched a Volvo go by, then another and I thought...Volvo is moving up in the world. I'd drive those cars in a heartbeat.

Those 6 series are so hot!

My top 5 are:
1) BMW
2) AUDI (excluding the Q7)
3) Infiniti (coupe is getting a bit bland but that will be fixed soon enough)
4) Porsche
5) Lexus (as someone said, minus the SC; personally you can add the ES, RX and LX to that list too)

Exotics:
1) Ferrari
2) Aston Martin
3) Bentley
4) Lamborghini

You know whats funny is that I'll take a BMW 850i before I'll even look at a 6.

Anywho heres my top 5 in mass production luxury. I'll have to go by models I'd actually buy because theres ugly and or unattractive cars in each line up.

1)Audi - A8, A6
2)MBZ -CLS, SL
3)BMW - was M3 until 07', Moddified 7 series, X5
4)Infiniti - 07' G35 sedan & coupe, FX, M45
5)Lexus - LS460 (?) jury is still out on this one in Milla's world

I agree, the 8 series is probably the best looking BMW model ever

I agree too, for the mass production brands, I used to think Mercedes is the best looking overall, but with the new S-Class, which never impressed me nearly as much as the previous in appearances after seeing it in person many times ,& the upcoming new C-Class, which I think is not good looking car at all, I think they are all mixed bags, depending on the individual models . . .

Manufacturers like Aston Martin is too easy of a choice...how many types of models do they actually make? 2? Coupe/convertible?

I think Audi would be my choice.. they offer a roadster & coupe, sedan, SUV, wagon, and a convertible.. ALL of them look pretty sweet IMHO.

Overall lineup? Probably Audi.

My top 5 in order:

1) Audi
2) BMW
3) Acura
4) Mazda (for real); the 3, 6, rx-8, cx's and mx5 are all good lookin' imo)
5) Infiniti

Of course Aston gets my vote for exotic marquee.

I have to list specific models as I cannot lump all the ugly and beautiful cars any manufacturer makes together as one.

1. Ferrarri 599 GTB Fiorano
2. Porsche 911 (997) Turbo
3. Aston Martin V8 Vantage
4. MB E63 AMG
5. Audi RS4
6. Lexus LS460
7. BMW M5

Once the Lexus IS-F is in production, it would be 5th on my list instead of the RS4.

1. Lexus (Sorry but I like their sophisticated styling. The GS is just sexy to me!)
2. BMW
3. Porsche
4. Lotus
5. Mercedes
6. Corvette C6 Z06. Chevy hit it on the money there.


I'd probably buy cars in that order. Actually I lied if I had the $$$ Prolly be riding around in a Porsche Carrera GT.


And the Lotus Exige is so cute.



I guess you can tell I have a thing for yellow? :P Those would be my cars had I the $$$ along with a GS, which of course would have to be Flint Micah or Black.
