    What are the most beautiful looking cars on the market today (without going into silly prices)?

    I nominate the new VW CC. Have not seen one in the flesh yet, but in the photos, it is something to behold.

    Passat CC is OK, good from some angles, ok from others.
    Please God don't anyone say the Scirocco is anything but mangled together pieces from 3 design teams kept completely separate from each other.

    Audi TT and A5 coupes (not sportback) are good. Properly proportioned anyway!
    Peuget RCZ, pretty good.

    Fiat 500, yes please.

    Alfa Mito, Giulietta and Citroen DS cars look odd at the front to me (my opinion only) (Original DS is just pure class in fairness)

    Toyota GT86 whenever it lands.

    Mazda Mx5 is a classic, Roadster Coupe looks good to me
    BMW Z4 also. Pushing the budget a bit maybe.


    If you want a bread-and-butter standard car that looks good, the VW Polo is actually way better looking than the Golf. Not Gorgeous but a big improvement on previous Polos and it emphasises how flumpy the Golf has gotten. In small hatch land the Fiat 500 still wins on looks tho.

    Prettyboy those are my two Lotto cars (depending if its a shared jackpot or MINE ALL MINE!) You just cannot beat Italy for styling.

    There's an Abarth in white in the carpark outside & it gives me the itch every time I see it.
