Car designs that manufacturers 'got right'

[Benonymous]

Cunts. I would've posted a Miura if it wasn't "no supercars" In fact I can't think of another car as timeless as the Miura. It's design is almost perfect in proportion and flow. The only downside was the silly looking headlight surrounds in on the first series that looked like giant eyelashes.



They were gone by the SV model and the surrounds just painted black.

Wow!, just fucking WOW!

I'll leave the exotic stuff to others.. but I reckon some of these go alright (besides the standard NSX, FD, S15, E46, S5, Aston, etc calls). Honestly though, you could go on forever..

Toyota 2000GT (couldn't resist)



The DC5R got it right



The Peugeot 406 coupe is stupidly good looking still for nearly 20 years old



4th Gen Liberty - 10 years on, I reckon it's still desirable



The M3 is obviously the hero car, but the 335 is extremely sleek and possibly will be a better looking car than the M3 in a few years..



Jaguar F-Type - still can't believe it's a Jaguar...



VE GTS - pre ugly bonnet treatment



'65 Mustang Fastback

The Pug 405 Coupe was designed/styled by Pininfarina, and their stuff always ages well.

Wait! You reckon the Daewoo Nubira aged well?

.. a little biased

It's not a thread for arguuing, it's a thread for opinions And my opinion is the Countach isn't pretty, but is definately extreme, and the Daytona, I know they're coveted and awesome etc.... but they've just never done the business for me. Not in road car form anyway. I lightweight racer version - Horn.

Now, for 1979, the Rover SD1 was a flippin fantastic looking car.

I preferred Citroen's (earlier) take on that design

Well OK, but just have a think of what it would have been like if they hadn't "touched" it

Wasn't that Giulgiaro, not Pininfarina? Giugiaro did all of that era of Daewoos IIRC.

It's a girly car but the Astra convertible is still a pretty good looking thing. Pininfarina eh.

Bertone.
