The Most Beautiful Car.......in the World
I didn't think it was possible to make an Aston Martin look "pedestrian", but the Maserati GranTurismo did it:

Damn shame it came out in 2007 and not 2006, otherwise Michele would assuredly have bought it instead of the DB9.

It's a Grand Tourer, which usually have four seats.
If you want the two-seat Sports Car edition, there is the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione:

It kinda looks like the Dodge Firepower! (yes, that exclamation point is supposed to be there) that was supposed to come out, but never did. Instead they opted for a half-assed rehash of the Challenger.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, I present the Lancia Thesis:
The President of the Italian Republic has one for his official vehicle, so I imagine one is lurking in the SWA motorpool for Director Lorenzo or somebody.
I am sure the Prime Minister is thankful he's rich enough to afford a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

I suppose it both helps the environment and hurts it at the same time, so it would be a wash.

Re: The Most Beautiful Car.......in the World
for some reason, I see that car and I can't help thinking "Viper in the front, Eclipse in the rear"
then again, back when the new GTO came out, I always ridiculed it for being "an Eclipse with a 350 in it"
That look is so generic these days...

Re: The Most Beautiful Car.......in the World
...it's truly sad, how far American cars have fallen since the 60s. But that's okay, some folks haven't needed to replace their cars since then. Or they've just sold 'em to younger folks when their eyesight and reflexes went too far downhill. That's where my '64 and '68 Chevys came from. Still haven't seen another engine/transmission go 600,000+ miles before finally giving out (aside from bigrigs, but that's a whole 'nother league of vehicle). ahh, the 327/turbo 400 combo...Variance wrote:I'm a fan of the ever-classic "GM: Because somebody has to build rental cars."

Haha, they certainly don't make them like they used to, here OR over the pond. I am very interested to see how things go from now on, though; Ford is starting to build an impressive fleet of vehicles, and I have hope for Fiat-Chrystler. All I know is, if they bring over the Abarth 500, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Ford of Europe has a pretty brilliant line-up which is mostly coming to the US over the next few years.
Even GM has had some hits as of late.

Re: The Most Beautiful Car.......in the World
I've seen this with vehicles from Japan as well.
I still consider the early 80's to mid 90's the Japanese automobile renaissance. The older KA24 in my Nissan 240 still hauls like a champ, but I've had to replace the transfer case on the 4G conversion on my Mitsu pickup twice now since I did it.
Although to be fair, I could be a little easier on it.

I so hope they do a road-test of this on Top Gear next season.

Re: The Most Beautiful Car.......in the World
Kara is all about Italian style, while Laine is all about American muscle.
Finally, a car they can share: The Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale by Zagato
Finally, a car they can share: The Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale by Zagato
Italian design house Zagato has announced the Alfa Romeo TZ3 Stradale, a road-going follow-up to 2010′s TZ3 Corsa racing car concept which won Concept of the Year honours at the Villa del’Este Concours last May. The sumptuous TZ3 Stradale is part of a continuous celebration by Zagato of Alfa Romeo’s centenary.
The most striking design feature on both TZ3 models is the chopped-off Kamm tail, which was inspired by the original TZ, but was also seen on such period cars as the Ferrari 250 GTO and the Shelby Cobra Daytona.
The Corsa was billed and envisioned as a pure racing car, and the TZ3 Stradale is the street-going version, but it keeps that raw intensity, based on the Dodge Viper, which was itself a race car barely disguised in street trim. Unlike the Corsa, which was intended to get its power from a 4.2-liter V-8 rated at 420 horsepower paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox, the Stradale is expected to keep the Viper’s 8.4-liter V-10 and 600-horsepower output.
