I wonder if they'll freeze this winter?   

I wish I was that cool

[FoMoJo]

Old dude looks a bit like me.

I wonder if they'll freeze this winter?   

I hope so. Nothing annoys me more than these morons who run around screaming "We want no more CO2!". 



BMW Z1 in Munich. These are not as rare here as you might think. I see at least one or two a week here but often don't get the chance to snap photos of them. This one has 98,000+ km - 2,000 km more and it's finally reached 100,000 km.

I saw a tiny silver Lotus hardtop of some kind on base yesterday..

Saw a blue Renault Fuego Coupe today, couldn't get a shot as I was driving and it passed me on the opposite side of the road. Lovely ride.

Volkswagen Golf Cabriolet MK2

Saw this 1953-1955 Sunbeam Alpine Supreme Roadster in Seeshaupt today.

[FoMoJo]

What a lovely car.

What happened to the dash, stuff sticking out of it?

Looks like driver's glove which are sticking out of a storage compartment.



Spotted this Mercedes-Benz 250C Automatic (W114) Coupe at a Burger King in Munich today.

That colour must be quite rare.  Looks good.

[cawimmer430]

Looks like a 1954-1955 Porsche 356 Speedster, spotted in downtown Munich. Gorgeous! 

[FoMoJo]

The ultimate Porsche in respect to style, imo.

[cawimmer430]

Two-For-One: Audi e-Tron GT (one of the few good-looking EVs) and Mercedes-Benz 350SL (R107) in Munich.










Bentley Azure in downtown Munich.

[cawimmer430]

Thought this was a Mitsubishi 3000GT, but it turned out to be a Dodge Stealth.










Car enthusiast. 





Classic Ford Mustang.









Renault 4





Volkswagen T3 Syncro "Matchbox"











Ares Design in downtown Munich.

Lovely Mercedes-Benz 220SE "Fintail" (W111) spotted in Weilheim.

[FoMoJo]

Ares Design in downtown Munich.

Is this just a design exercise, a prototype or an actual production car?

It's lovely.

It's an Italian coachbuilder.

The car I saw in their showroom is this: https://www.aresdesign.com/en-us/cars/wami-lalique-spyder/

No mention on what existing car this vehicle is based on.

I would say this mid '50s Maserati Spider...



Such a well balanced, clean design, with just the right curves...

Yes, it seems to want to imitate that Maserati, but I am wondering on what modern car it's based on. Obviously a front-engined-rear-wheel-drive platform, possibly European or even American.

Saw my first Volkswagen ID. Buzz in Munich today. Bland.

I think they're cool   At least it's something different for a change.  The automotive world needs more different.

Unfortunately, it's suffering from Camaro-itis.  Where the concept was debuted so far in advance of the actual production, that it looks and feels stale before it even is available for purchase.  It'll look downright ancient in 4-5 years.

I agree that it at least looks unique, but the current ICE-powered VW T7 Multivan looks better.





I think EV designs are just trying to hard to look cool and futuristic but they all fail so badly in my opinion. I think Teslas look pretty inoffensive but are dull. The entire Mercedes EQ_ range is awful-looking (eggs on wheels) and BMW ain't better either (although the i4 looks nice). IMO the nicest-looking EVs are the Audi e-Tron GT and the Lucid Air - because proportionally they look like the cars we are used to from a design perspective.

[FoMoJo]

Less frontal overhang.  Gives it a bit of an awkward look.

[veeman]

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks good.

[cawimmer430]

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 looks good.

It looks ok. I'm not crazy about it. The only production EVs which I think look really nice are the Audi e-Tron GT and Lucid Air. Honorable mention go to the BMW i4. But that's just my opinion based on my personal tastes.

[cawimmer430]

BMW Isetta four-wheeler.

[cawimmer430]

Lovely Mercedes-Benz 220D W123 - very rare among the Diesel W123s, only about 58,000 were made.

It's weird that build tag is in English.
