    Right this should make a short list.
    Post some examples of modern cars excluding supercars (too easy) that exhibit an ounce of style or even brave design .
    For me it's
    style :smart roadster,
    chrysler crossfire (not a supercar is it?chryslers are decent value I thought)
    Nissan Figaro (bit of a cheat that one as it's really just rehashing classic car design and dropping it on a micra)
    the new VW microbus if it ever makes it to production ( jesus this is a tough list here I am delving into concept vehicles).
    hmm I've run out ....
    Brave
    Smart car .. the 2 seater job, a modern bond 2000 it has it's charm
    Multiplia ....ugly as me hairy brain on a coffe table :eek: but ........brave none the less.Designing a car from the inside out, at least they tried something new.
    PT cruiser.... still can't decide if I like it or not in black it looks OK.

    the new VW microbus
    Linkies please?
    Multiplia
    Ah, you were doing so well. The Multipla is a monstrosity that should never... ever... be talked about. Schtum.

    Did I mention I rather like the new BMW 7 Series? Did I? Huh?

    Second & Triple that - or TVR Tuscan: those 'eyes' are eeeviiil ;). (or would you class it as a supercar? is 'supercar or not' a price threshold thing?)

    Em think I did agree with you there ..... you'll have to squat over a mirror to understand my comparison :D

    RX8 yes respect due especially for the wisdom of keeping Weinkels dream alive
    I have a V8 but I'm not in west Sydney now so don't have to be an automatic enemy of rotary engines. It's all V8 versus Rotary wars there!!

    VW microbus check this site for a french canadian design house modern westfalia type idea, flashes of brilliance there. Afraid neither are going into production though.
