You'll all disagree but...


197X Nissan (or was it still Prince) Skyline GTR

You're probably thinking of the Nissan (Prince was defunct by 1967) KGC10 Skyline GT-X



Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

1975 Honda CB750, 1986 Rebel Rascal (sailing dinghy), 2015 Mini Cooper, 2020 Winnebago 31H (E450), 2021 Toyota 4Runner, 2022 Lincoln Aviator

I actually think the Taurus should be there, too.  Start the flames.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

Oh, and add the 1971 Toyota Celica


I just refer to the Ken & Mary as the C110.

Hehe...no.

Do remember that the best looking cars of all time include all the cars of all time.

Ok, now you're pushing it.

I wouldn't consider that anywhere near one of the best looking cars of all time.

I would, however, include the E38 and E39.

Too right, the Citroen C6. 

And Sander, the DS and SM are definitely interesting designs.  I wouldn't object to seeing them on this list.

I honestly can't see any Citroen in a Top 100.

Both? Maybe because you like BMW's. They both look nice.....but for all time? No.

Can we ban 2o6 from this thread?  He's brought some contributions, but the Alfasud?  COME ON!

French cars have some of the most passion in their design.  If that doesn't translate into beauty, then you might as well put the Enzo, 599, GT-R, and any modern BMW on the list, because you've lost sight of the difference between looks and performance. 

And if you're going to put any sedan on the list, the C6 deserves to be on it.

You put the new M3 on the list.  So if interesting doesn't count, why does ugly?

Maserati Khamsin




Pretty much any Maser pre-1980 and post 1998 can be safely admitted, I believe.

I hate the C6. It's up there with the Vel Satis.....but If it's up there, then add the Avantime.

I've never been overly fond of the Ghibli.

Still, What is a list like this without a Maser?

Hey, do race cars count as well?

There are better-looking Bentleys out there, but at least he's going in the right general direction.  Besides, I love that car.
