Sorry but this is pure sexy to me.. from the headlights, the lines, and the tail lights.. lets not forget the wheels. This is IT!!!! I love the lines of the Vette.. and not just any Vette.. the C6, being a Z06 is a bonus.

Sorry have to go back to musclecar school for some of my fav design points.

Hood tach on 1970 GTO Judge


1970 1/2 + Camaro SS/RS with split bumper, love the mouth


1969 Chevy Chevelle rear tail lights.



I know it's under the hood, but the 426 Hemi is one of the most imposing engines ever... Massive valve covers that have the spark plug wiring going right in through the middle.

Wow. I confess I did not know what that was but see from the link it's an '04 Chrysler concept I assume. So where the hell is the production car that should come from all that talent?

The first thing I did was to turn that feature off. Between that and the silly function to light up the speedo when you hit 70... it's just benefit-less eye candy, IMO.

Man you're crazy. I'd kill for that. Nice little " Your A$$$ is speeding" reminder. Does it beep also? LOL

The simple, classy instrument cluster gauges of Lexus is hot, interior wise

Exterior Wise, the pillarless looks of the W215, W216 CL class is pure sex, first generation Lexus SC300/400 (classy and smooth), W208 CLK Class. Lastly I'm also a big sucker for cars with nice fender flares, W124 (500E).

Sexy. The whole damn car. Not the headlights, nor the bumper, nor the steering wheel. THE WHOLE DAMN CAR!!!
Truer words have never been spoken...

It's just like trying to find a woman... if you look for just one feature, you may get a shock when you get to the others.

Great choices here. I'll leave out the cars above $100k because they SHOULD be beautiful (not always the case).

In my mind:
E36 M3 - Flared angled quarter panels oh my.
E46 M3 - Front grill
E39 M5
E38 7 Series - Something with Black and The Transporter movie...
SL - The whole rear end, retractable hardtop, side profile.
Audi A8
Acura NSX - Classic design.
R34 Skyline
Modded Supra
Porsche Cayman S - Love the rear hatch.
