Who has the best lookers
Vin78 made a comment in another thread that gave me the idea for this one.
The subject: Which manufacturer has the overall best looking group of cars throughout their model range? Model for model, who's doing it best. Let's try not to say Lexus without thinking about it.
Actually, Lexus is doing it big right now. Every car is stylish. Almost all are just beautiful. I can't say the SC430 is cause that's my opinion. It's stylish but not beautiful. Since Lexus is falling short in the sport coupe dept let's see who's overall king.
Benz has a lot of cars, one for every segment. Most look great. The G-Wagen looks too tall and blocky and the mini van is not attractive. Not really feeling their little suv either.
My vote goes to BMW. I know most don't like the bangle designed cars but I love them. All of them. Top to bottom. Even the Mini.
Then there is Porsche. All their models are cool.
What does everyone else think?

1. Lexus. Could not say that 2 years ago. I am SHOCKED at how good their cars and SUVs look. Not huge on the SC 430.
2. Audi. Classic and while they all look similar, its a GOOD similar. A8 is perfect. R8 and TT are wow as is the "S" lineup. A3 looks good.
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...

In stock form the SC430 gets a c- grade but fixed up, used and cheaper than a new IS or ES, I think its tops of the lexus line up.
But this is what you get when you buy a BMW http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...89948066992482
The Z3, E36/E46 and certain 5 series cars all had this problem. Ok, well maybe the more expensive cars hold up better.. Think again. Almost every Z8 front shock tower is failing. Look up lawsuit and Z8 shock tower on Google.
So while I do agree that they might be cooler, and better looking (the new 3 series is on the IS big time, ask anyone that doesn't own an IS or lexus) and I like the 6 series looks over my car but it will be awhile before I buy german again.
But I'll agree to the Aston Martin thing. There are no better looking cars. The DB9 and the V8 Vantage are just sex on wheels... Lambos and F cars will only look older where the Astons will age gracefully... But until i can afford them, I guess the IS-F and the new SC (once again prob used) are the only cars that I'm looking forward to..
