CarSPIN's 100 best-looking cars of all time

[the Teuton]

So, where's the most recent list?

I'll post it in a second.  It's getting updated pretty constantly these days.

[sandertheshark]

Then it was a petty insult.

Very astute observation.

[CALL_911]

Then it was a petty insult.

BTW, Sander, I expected a lot better from you than to attack on age. That's pretty much a sign that you lose.

[The Pirate]

I'll post it in a second.  It's getting updated pretty constantly these days.

Yeah, I skimmed the last few pages.  Exploding clusterf*ck, really.

[2o6]

It needs to be capped. Now.

I see now that you're a mod, you must censor out the swears?

[sandertheshark]

God, Sander. It's like comparing the Mustang GT to the 135i. I wouldn't consider any of those cars (except the European ones, and possibly the Corvettes, oh and the GT40. BTW, you forgot about the 911. The original 911's were some beautiful cars) any better looking than the 2000GT.

I didn't even get in to Germans.

But even what you agreed to, that's easily 30 cars right there.  There were a hell of a lot of very very nice Ferraris in that time frame.

I repeat, does the 2000GT really stand a shot against its contemperaries?

[Danish]

These are probably on the list, I don't care I just wanna picture whore

[2o6]

We should stop now.

[The Pirate]

I see now that you're a mod, you must censor out the swears?

Hmmm, I wasn't really thinking about that, but it's a good point.  I'm pretty sporadic with my filtering, about half my posts are the actual word, and half are censored. 

If it makes you happy, Ro, I'll go for broke next time. 

[the Teuton]

This thread has been open for a day.

[sandertheshark]

Take it as an effort to ad some levity.  God knows we need it.  I thought the Dennis Leary reference ("you're _teen years old and you don't know shit about shit and pull up your pants") was a dead giveaway that I wasn't even half serious.  But then you guys are too young to like Dennis Leary.

That, we are. I don't know who the hell Dennis Leary is.

And my bad. I didn't realize it was a joke.

Actor/comedian.  You might know him as the star of the show Rescue Me.  Or more likely, as the voice of Diego the Saber-tooth Tiger from the Ice Age movies.

You would be right. I don't watch Rescue Me, but I have seen Ice Age. Awesome movie.

Sometimes I forget that you weren't even around when Mortal Kombat and Jurassic Park came out.  That makes me feel old.

[CALL_911]

I have Mortal Kombat on the SNES, and I have played it on the NES. And I've seen all the Jurassic Parks.

[the Teuton]

I have Mortal Kombat on the SNES, and I have played it on the NES. And I've seen all the Jurassic Parks.

First of all, it never came out for the NES, to my knowledge.  Second, that's like saying that part of Beatlemania because you own the White Album.  You missed out on history, culture, you know, that stuff.  You're one of those people who watches the "I Love the 90s" marathons to actually find out what happened.  That, Ro, is what makes me feel old.

[Raza]

That car revolutionized the auto industry.  It deserves its spot on the nomination list.

This isn't best or most significant.  It's most beautiful.  And the 1986 Taurus is not.

I knew this was going to happen; people can't separate looks from everything else.

[CALL_911]

First of all, it never came out for the NES, to my knowledge.

You are right. Hmmm, I do remember playing a game that was similar (no, it was not Duck Hunt).

[280Z Turbo]

I don't think we should have many muscle cars on the list.

Most muscle cars were little more than steel boxes for an awesome fuckin' motor.

[Raza]

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.

WRONG.  Shamefully, the 612 is the best looking Ferrari sold today.  The 599 is the worst looking I've ever seen.

[the Teuton]

It'll be knocked off in a few days.

You are right. Hmmm, I do remember playing a game that was similar (no, it was not Duck Hunt).

It's a fighting game -- the precursor to all of the Tekkens, etc., along with Street Fighter and Eternal Champions.  It's sad, I still remember the blood code for the Genesis version.

[Cookie Monster]

I like the E30 because it's so simple and classic. None of the fussy stuff you see on new BMW's.

You know what? I think I'm younger than our SNES.

I do, however, remember the late 90's very well.

[Raza]

For the last fucking time....


THE SVX IS UGLY.  SUBARUS DO NOT MAKE IT ON THIS LIST.

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CARS.  NOT THE MOST SIGNIFICANT.  THE CAR HAS TO LOOK GOOD AND THAT IS ALL.  IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT REVOLUTIONIZED THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD.  IF IT IS UGLY, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. 

I missed the last few pages, but if someone nominates the new GT-R I'm going to track him down and kill him.

I did not nominate it.  And plus the fact, it was designed by Giugiaro.

[Raza]

I don't think we should have many muscle cars on the list.

Most muscle cars were little more than steel boxes for an awesome fuckin' motor.

I agree.  There are a few muscle cars that are really beautiful.  The 1965 Shelby GT350.  The 1969 Camaro SS (maybe).  That's about it, really.  Unless you count Thunderbirds as muscle cars.
