Default Best Looking car...?

What's everyone's opinion on the best looking car out there? New or old, stock or modified. Mine would probably be the Veilside Supra.

I don't know about best-looking car of all time, but on my list, the 2002 Mercedes-Benz CL coupe is up there on the list.

I'll say in the

30's and 40's I love most of the cars of this era.. Gangsta stlye sedans.

50's Thunder Bird, 57 Chevy, any convertible big body sedan...

60's the VW Karmann Ghia and MGB

70's Porsche 911 and Triumph GT6

80s 84' Corvette, 944 Turbo and 928 S4

90's 300ZX, SC4, NSX

late 90's and 00's Jaguar XK8 and Aston Martin DB7... same stlying, same owner... also the Ferrari Modena for 00' - 01'

I'd say that the SC looks best with nice wheels and some lowering.
Another great looking car would be the newest 911 GT2 turbo, the winner for being bad-*** looking while keeping astounding elegance.
The Gullwing Mercedes SL's looked best at being purely elegant.
For sharp, mean "I'm gonna kick your *** into next week" looks I'd say that the twin supercharged special edition Aston Martin takes it.
Worthy of note is the Aston Martin Vantage DB-7... in real life the car is more attractive than a Lamborghini Miura.

I am thinkin' that the SALEEN S7 is one of the hottest both from the looks and performance standpoint. It is somewhat actually affordable too ($400,000).

If you'all have not heard the SALEEN story or driven a SALEEN mustang (stop laughing now...) there is a treat in store for you...

Take this for a ride amigos...

The 2002 Mercedes SL500 has to be one of the best looking cars ever made. Also Ferrari 360, Lexus SC430, Shelby Series 1, Aston Martin Vanquish, and Hamann widebody E46 M3.

Ferrari 550 & the Aston DB-7. I was next to the Ferrari in traffic yesterday and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Some girl in her early 20's was cruising around in it....she wasn't too bad either

Mercedesdave, i dont want to start anything here, but there's a girl at my school that has owned 2 silver CL coupes (she totalled the 1st one like 2 wks. after getting it and her parents just got her another that she is driving now). And IMHO, the CL coupe looks like a piece of poo. Yes....poo. Everyone is entitled to their own but it doesn't have any pluses performance wise and it looks gawd awful.
Now, to my list. Lotus Esprit V8 turbo, Lambo Countach, Lexus SC series, and 97 Toyota Supra TT, GT2, Tucker

So, is it safe to safe you think the new ES3 is the anti-christ of ugly(well I do..)... and the SC430 is ugly too?

I think the 8 series are very nice...
