Yes.
As long as they keep them normal kidneys. I used to like the 7, but...
Lots of people hated them when they first came out. I remember I wasn't sure about the original Z4 or 1 series at all. They look rather great now.
The rear end of the 7-series, however, was a disaster and the front end was kinda dull:
Oh definitely, just look at the X7 and GLS. The grille of the X7, along with current Volvos, have a certain silver finish that has a very chinese-catered feel. Also I feel big grilles are mimicking RR and Bentley
Jaguar XJ6 for Nicko Mcbrain. ;-)
What I still find amazing is that these sort of designs are meant to have an expensive 'European' look, but they look as cheap as.-
Few asian brands have managed to get their own, sometimes expensive look. Notably Japanese carmakers.
That's awesome. Has that been around for a while? I feel like I've seen it before, or was it something similar?

It does look lovely though, and I don't think I've ever seen another replica with that body shape (and I've seen a lot of GT40 replicas!).
Where have you seen the gt40 replicas ?
If there's a restored original sat to next to a really well-built replica you have to get your magnifying glass out, almost! :)
That's kind of why I get a bit sad when cars get too restored. At Goodwood a few years ago they managed to get all six Cobra Daytonas together (which was amazing to see) but only one of them hadn't been restored to brand new condition (the prototype I think), and it was by far the coolest and most historic one. I want an old car to wear its historic nature proudly on its sleeve: give me some scratches and dirt and cracked leather seats. There's nothing sadder to me than a 1930s Bentley Blower with brand new leather seats. All that history gone.
And yet: wow- all six Daytonas. And outside the U.S too: that might not happen again for a very long time.
And you could just walk up to the things too, as you can see. I think they're worth about $10 million each.
One year they had I think around ten Silver Arrows cars, which was truly remarkable.
Those Cobra Daytonas are great looking cars.
I have a couple in 1:18 exoto models and they are going up in value too.
Like this one.
I think he had it custom ordered about 3 years ago. :-)

And bring in your Jag or Land Rover. ;-)

Some really nice picks but how can the Lancia Delta Integrale and the Lotus Esprit not be on such a list? 😜
