Second Gen Probes really look good. First Gen Talon/Eclipse were nice looking too....

I always thought the 1st gen DSMs were a little stubby-looking compared to a 240SX of the same era (or 2nd gen MX-6/Probe).  2nd gen cars were great (whereas the 240 became very bland and Camry-Solara like).

I really like both 240's. But only girls ever had the second gen ones.

Why the 7? I never thought much was ever going on with that design.
The SWB E38 might be the most proportionally perfect BMW sedan ever made. If its not their most beautiful sedan, I don't know what is. That there is not much going on with it (compared to say, the Bangle Butt 5 and 7 that followed it) is a good thing.

Lancia Thema - especially in 8.32 trim!  :wub:




^Pure understatement!^



I've always had a thing for the Lancia Kappa, especially in wagon trim!  :mrcool:

But it was still sold during the '90s, so...  :dance:

Trust me, I do.  :ohyeah:

The Thema was produced until 1994, it's basically also a car "of the '90s".

And this was produced in Mexico until 2003.......





So does that mean this 1930s relic is representative of 21st century design?  :confused:

A "car of the 90s" is a car that debuted in the 90s, not a car that debuted in the 80s (or 70s or earlier) but continued to be sold into the 90s.

I saw a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado today - definitely one of the coolest-looking cars of the 2013s!  :lol:

Peugeot 406 Coupe.  Designed by Pinninfarina.  This was the last truly beautiful Peugeot before it all went to hell.  Shame it never came to the US.
