This MGBGT is an ******** with the oversize tires and side exhaust, probably stuffed a v-8 in it. For my money, Triumph TR4 and TR6's were much better

Gorgeous cars appreciation thread-f3ra5ym.jpg

I still can't get over how did they get everything so right with this car, and so wrong with its successor.

Hmm. I can't decide if I like this or not. It's attractive and clean but I don't know if I'd call it gorgeous. Lol but then I'm posting pictures of SUVs.

These looked the best 1995ish with the subtle updates like the vastly better rims, but before the stupid grille was added. Lexus SC was a stunning design.

Lol you're crazy. I think these coupes were instrumental along with LS in solidifying Lexus as a high end brand and legit contender.

I don't think Lexus has that cachet it had then anymore. But still, great cars.
