In production today?

S2000
SC430
Most Audis - R8, all variants of 8 and 6, and TT. Just the best looking overall lineup.
MB SL class
DB9
Viper
Lotus Elise/Extige
Nissan GTR (not really good looking, but there's something about it that makes me drool)
MB CLS (very good looking, but impractical)

Now if I was to name the single best looking car in production today... Without a doubt, R8.

I've also seen a picture of an Alfa Romeo that looks jaw droppingly gorgeous, but its not on sale in USA.

If I had to pick...

Ferrari F430
Any Aston Martin (Vanquish/DB9)
Lexus LS 600hL
Lexus GS 460
Mercedes CLS 550
Mercedes SL 550
Audi S8
Acura TL-S
Jaguar XKR Portfolio
Lexus GX 470

I guess all in all I prefer styling that is conservative and restrained with intricate details, thus my love for the Lexus LS. I prefer sedans to coupes and 4 doors to 2, so considering my style the LS 600hL is really, IMO, one of THE most beautiful cars on the road.









IMO...you just can't beat that- elegant, conservative, restrained, and yet aggressive and sexy.

Wow, these are all such nice cars, its so hard to narrow it down. I would have to add the Range Rover Sport to that list though.

gtr?! personally i think the r34 is better looking but i wouldn't even include that in a top 10 list. also, im not too crazy about the rear of the CLS or the sc430. i believe there are a handful of alfa romeo 8c's in america and i would have included that in my list if i was sure they were officially being sold here.
