See the posts since Raza checked it over at about page 7 or 8.

In a beauty contest?  You have to be kidding.

IMO, it looks nice.

So let me get this straight. You would include a bloody Taurus, but discount a rare Ferrari?

[sandertheshark]

No to all of Ro and Rag's last few suggestions.

The Carrera GT? Dude, if you think it's ugly, I believe you fail harder than anyone who chimed in this thread yet.

The Ghost of Enzo weeps silently whenever he gazes upon the car that bears his name.

Seriously, Enzo owners have to wake up every day and thank God for the 612 Scag, otherwise they'd own the ugliest Ferrari ever.

It's not ugly.  I actually think it's rather pretty.  It's just not top-100 pretty.

Seriously, though.  That's a gorgeous Continental Mark II.  That one is one of two ever made by Hess & Eisenhardt and one of three convertibles.  It's simply stunning.

It is the one you saw at the show, Jake.

WTF. You think that these:





deserve to be on the list but these:





dont?

[the Teuton]

Absofrickinglutely gorgeous car.

[sandertheshark]

I'll take care of the Ferraris, but there were four iterations of the GT40, so I'm keeping that on.

Okay, but the only road-going version was the '66 Mk.III so I'd leave it at that.

That's not the point. What's the point of this list if they're all Ferraris and BMW's? Maybe the Ford Taurus is ugly (I find it rather attractive) but surely other cars look good besides supercars and the like.

The 3-series Coupe is gorgeous, as well as the Drophead. The Gen 1 M3 is odd-looking, and the 190 has an overstyled body kit. Both look OK, but they are only legendary because of preformance.

This is a beauty contest. It's whatever car looks the nicest to you. It doesn't matter if it's a hatchback or family car or supercar. If they're all supercars, so be it.

You picked the Taurus. You fail.

[2o6]

Are you supposed to be the fashion judge, or something?

[2o6]

You picked the Taurus. You fail.

The Taurus influenced many designs (even some supercars that are possibly on this list) and was noted for it's unique, attractive shape.



I have a reason for picking things, unlike some people who pick the same two BMW's.

[sandertheshark]

WTF. You think that these:

Not the Bentley.  The E92 is borderline.  I think it looks better than the E30, which is by no means an ugly car.  Same as the Benz.\

If you kids are going to question my judgments, let me remind you of what I consider to be "Good-looking" cars:





And for God's sakes,



Can anything you or Ro have come up with compare to that?

[sandertheshark]

"Influential" is not the criteria.  Good-looking is.

[Cookie Monster]

That last car is fugly.
The other three deserve to be on the list.

[sandertheshark]

See my reply to Rag above.

[2o6]

"Influential" is not the criteria.  Good-looking is.

I think we've got our list....now time to narrow it down.



Maybe we should make the 100 Ugliest cars....

[Cookie Monster]

[sandertheshark]

That last car is fugly.

That's a custom body, obviously.  Does it strike your juvenile fancy in stock form?

[2o6]

Then put up the CRX. A Prelude does not compare to the rejects of the list.....let alone "best looking".

[Cookie Monster]

Even worse.

[sandertheshark]

prelude

For the last goddamn time, no Honda econoboxes!

[CJ]

You get all pissy at 2o6 for posting the Taurus when that's hardly a beauty queen.

[Cookie Monster]

Then put up the CRX. A Prelude does not compare to the rejects of the list.....let alone "best looking".

Why the fuck do you guys think the Taurus should be up there and not cars like the E30 M3 and Prelude?
The Prelude looks awesome.

[sandertheshark]

Even worse.

You're incurable.  You get the chain fail.
