Nearly all the best looking cars posted in this thread have been the work of a greasy wog in an eyetie design studio.

however the less said about these the better.

Oh, we're now talking about old cars?

Actually, I always thought that 2dr Commodore that Brock's standing in front of looked pretty good. Definitely better than the VK people are posting above ... seriously, you can't just bolt some wheels & plastic to a car & say it's a styling masterpiece!!

Anyway back to the old cars which looked good ... the Mazda Lantis hardtop, just way too expensive for it's class to build!

Annnd that ones Bertone[/IMG]

No, Bertone only turned the 242/262 into a Chevrolet Monte Carlo to be driven by over-skinny tall black guys wearing leopard-print mink coats.
2dr 240 has identical silhouette, panel shapes etc to the 240 (and pretty-much hence 140), not exactly a "styling" job.

The car itself was a major disappointment. The styling, and the CD figure of a mere .26 was a real breakthrough at the time though.
A game changer, at least in styling and areodynamic efficiency. The Audi 100 had the aero thing down pat, but looked far too staid imo.



And maybe, mayyybe becuase I'm a child of this era, but I always thought the 1988 Prelude was a great looker. Low, wide, with thin pillars, its a ripper. An era when Honda's had proper suspension, double wishbones.
