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.


You said the same thing to me.



There are better looking cars. The Prelude and E30 are OK, but overall sucks.

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:





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


I suggested the 507 first.

And I already suggested the CGT. That looks better than a C3 or a Mustang.

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


That's what I'm doing; filtering out the crap you nominated for being "influential" designs.

Those were all on my first list which I started working on before this thread existed.

And there are not 99 cars that look better than a '69 Stingray, I don't care what anyone says.

There may not be 99, but for right now, there is one, and it's called a Carrera GT.

The E30 is debatable, but the Enzo will not go on the nom list no matter what.  It's just that ugly.
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.

I think you're wrong, but whatever.  I won't object anymore to leaving it in the running.

That's your own bloody opinion!! Jesus, this is CarSPIN's best looking cars, not the Teuton's best looking cars of all time!

At least nominate it. Secondly, add the CGT.

If you filter out the entire list, then I'm not going to participate in this thread. Namely the Citroens. (I mean, just one person)

Toot, will you at least add the Toyota 2000GT and the Datsun Fairlady 2000 Roadster?

This entire thread sucks ass. Ugly (relatively) cars like the E92 M3 make it but not classics like those two?

They're there for the moment, as is the ugly Enzo.  This isn't the debating part yet.

Come Wednesday, the Enzo will be off the list faster than you can say 'Taurus.'

You aren't 100% certain about putting the 2000GT in the running. I believe you should go check that chain fail out too.

I agree.
I'm not saying that the Taurus shouldn't be there BTW, but I'm questioning why they let that in but not the E30 and W201 I posted and "maybe" for the 2000GT and Fairlady.

Sander and Teuton are deciding instead of putting them on the list just because they don't like it.
I don't like half the cars on the list but I'm not bitching about it.

There are 227 cars on this list right now.  It isn't like I am discriminating too much.  In fact, the only car I kicked off the list really was the Honda Z.
