Quite telling - not one Ferrari... but some rather bland cars made the list... go figure.

[chest3r]

The AMV8 Vantage and the DB9 are the most beautiful cars in the world, no doubt about it, but the CLS in 2nd place :shock: I think it shouldn't even be in the top 10.

The Veyron is nice, but I think it needs something more :roll:

But the ugliest car of that list is the Brera :x

[nthfinity]

call me anti-whatever...

either a DB9, a Vanquish, or a V8 Vantage should be on the list... not more then one.

Bugatti should be at the top this year... outlandish excess from the Piech family i wonder what the break-even point will be...

TT.. should'nt be on the list this year... next year perhaps with the restyled car... what we see today is nothing new really.

BMW 5/6 series... BZZZZT! wrong
BMW M5/M6... choose one... (M5)

Lambo Gallardo... 06 hits the street with even more power... cool... but...
Lambo Gallardy-Spidy.... definately should be there; i LOVE it

Lotus Elise: very cool car... but... old already
Lotus Exige w/supercharger, oh yeah! Baby!

Mercedes CLS
Great lines... a merc that looks amazing... how'd that one make it to approval ? I approve (AMG-only)

ok, now that i've ripped the list a new one... what do i think is lacking?
S7 TT - .... fastest production car in america, and possibly the world?
Koenigsegg CCR- i could watch those doors go in and out all day long... if i owned one, i might have to, as it would be broken a lot.
06 WRX STi - new styling = AWSOME + efficiant!... mabey powertrain, or suspension is the next improvement
C6 Z06 - fastest new car you can buy per/$ by a MASSIVE margin. 7:43--- Nuf said!
Ford GT - nothing new, except Heritage colors... worthy of being no. 2 on the list for that alone

[ferrarif1fan89]

HAH! they put the 5-series on the list. obviously, these people are blin, or chris bangle has slipped something into their drinks.

[r2r]

This survey did not just consist of designers voting, but also readers of car design news website.

However it makes sense that Aston Martin places so high on the list, since they are such beautiful looking cars, but V8 vantage is higher on the list then DB9

I agree with most things on the list, but the 5 series and lotus elise don't belong there.

[SilviaEvo]

5 series, 6 series, TT, CLS, shouldnt be on there

[Fleischmann]

Audi TT?? Where the hell did they get that idea ??

It's about design, not how good a car is.

[bmwmpower]

for me looks murcielago better then gallardo, and Z4 is best looking bmw now,
and 159 is better looking then brera ,and elise nothink special, veyron is nice, but i missing somethink,

[paradizzy]

I like the list also, but I'm not sure about TT and 5 series. But other cars are realy beautiful.

since when is a car that is good not been designed to be good? engineering IS designing.
