The beauty and elegant lines of the 'Vette beats them all. Out of the 239,000 cars built during the outlined period, there is one which is waiting for me. I swear one I will day buy that Stingray and name her Eugenie, and she'll be one of the things I love most on this Earth.

I must say the Corvette is a nice looking car but it has nothing on the 1969 Camaro SS. Hands down its the best car EVER! And when a 396 or the 427 is dropped in it, it will blow any corvette away.

It's a nice car, if it didn't have those godawful rimz on it. Give me thick black rubber any day.

It's such a pathetically blatant penis extension on wheels that it even has a boner under the hood.

Now, if you want a beautiful car and not the motoring equivalent of a toupée, look no further than the best-looking car ever built:

The Goddess.

So, how exactly would a '69 Camaro SS with a 427 "blow away" a '69 427 Corvette? Or a modern Z06 'Vette for that matter (hell, I doubt it could even beat a base C6 Corvette).

My god, people actually consider that beautiful? It goes against just about every convention of how a car should be proportioned. I'll take my, cramped, boxy Mercedes over that...thing, anyday. But, to each their own I guess.

Besides, the DS is front-wheel drive, therefore it sucks by default .

The Camaro is pretty, but it just doesn't have the Corvette's sexy lines. It's all brawn and no finesse.

What the fuck is that, Bounty? If by "beautiful" you meant ugly, and by "best-looking car ever built" you meant it should have been aborted as a pencil sketch and the designer shot, then yeah, maybe.

The 69 Camaro is fucking ugly. The 67 and 68s have much better lines.

If you HAVE to have a car, these are the way to go...




Otherwise fuck cars.

I want a Charger like that, or even that Roadrunner, but all black, shaved door handles, no chrome except bumpers and window outlines (even the outlines are optional), and all black rims. Tinted black windows, black leather interior. The headlights on the Plymouth would have to be blacked out though.

Sexy.

I don't care if it isn't a real sports car, don't try and tell me this doesn't look awesome;



Also looks awesome, though it has nothing else going for it;

The DeLorean, I can get behind. The second car? It looks like someone photographed their Hot Wheels on the carpet.

The DeLorean isn't a bad looking car at all, and from what I understand it had pretty good handling. It's only real flaw (aside from the QC issues that plagued the early-build cars) was a lack of power for it's price.

Phantasee wrote:The second car? It looks like someone photographed their Hot Wheels on the carpet.

It's a Vector W8, one of the earlier US attempts to make a supercar.



Now if you could somehow combine the styling of the DeLorean and the Vector, take the DMC-12's stainless steel shell, then install the W8's twin turbo engine and LED-festonned 'cockpit', that would be the ultimate 80s-retro sport's car.

What the fuck is that, Bounty?

A car with grace? A car that's designed to be both gorgeous and practical, not just a Really Big Engine in a blocky, deformed shell that looks like it's hopped up on steroids?

If you HAVE to have a car, these are the way to go...

Yeah right...

why is my brain now saying "GTO, not as clumsy or as random as a ricer, a more elegant race car for a more enlightened era."

Also, the stainless steel they used in the body panels that made it so good for time travel, made it hell to fix them if they got dinged or dented. You just had to replace them. EXPENSIVE.

Grace? That thing looks clumsy as fuck. It may be practical, but it is hardly "gorgeous". I think you are the only one that thinks that.

Stupid work, blocking links. I'll talk shit when I get home.

Indeed. Have a look at the below three-view plan: I'm not seeing the "grace" anywhere, especially from the side profile, which for me is a huge indicator of how "sleek" or "graceful" a car is. Seriously, the back end looks like it's drooping, and that huge bulge just below the beltline doesn't help the car's looks either: makes it look fat. Or something.

At best, it simply looks odd, but far from what I'd call beautiful.

It's not just you; I can't see it either. Must have been taken down by Youtube.

Bounty, you're either joking or have one of the oddest tastes ever. An ideal car should either have the smooth curvy lines like a woman, or brawny squared areas like the a man. That thing you posted manages neither.

It was. The video was Top Gear's review of the 60's Charger.

I cannot even discuss the matter with tasteless peasants like yourselves.

I think the DS is damn pretty. What's this about how a car is "supposed" to look? Is a Talbot ugly because it's unique? What are the "rules"?

Bounty wrote:I think the DS is damn pretty. What's this about how a car is "supposed" to look? Is a Talbot ugly because it's unique? What are the "rules"?

The Talbot is by no means ugly: It is sleek and streamlined and with flowing, curvaceous lines like a woman's body, something that can't be said for the DS. I think the "rules" of car styling has alot to do with humans' base instincts; we tend to find inanimate objects attractive based on similar traits by which we find people attractive, which really says something about what kind of people you find attractive (I kid, I kid) .

BMW 335i

The current 3-series is indeed a very good looking car, probably the only "Bangle Bimmer" of which that can be said.

Best is the S3 convertible, especially the new model with the "hard" opening roof .
Not as sexy as an Acid green Porsch covertible, but it has leg-room and looks like something you dream of driving regardless of trying to prove that you're a "nouveau rich". (Whether you are one or not, is irrelevant )

Bounty wrote:What's this about how a car is "supposed" to look? Is a Talbot ugly because it's unique? What are the "rules"?

I like the Talbot. It fits the rules I outlined, as it has curvy lines like a woman. It's definitely not a sexy young lady like the Corvette, but the matronly air of a mature woman is nonetheless still attractive.

Which is to say, the Talbot is a MILF.

Very sexy, I think that redeems you, Bounty.
