    You guys seem to find most cars ugly! :)

    I'd say both of those are much better than something like the 914, but I know even that has its fans.

    The 2020 Porsche Taycan EV looks ugly.
    Probably the ugliest Porsche ever?

    Imho, it doesn't and it it isn't.

    The previous generation Panamera should get that title.

    The Panamera i think looks much better than the Taycan.

    That's the current generation. [-X

    Saw a Maserati parked at ALDI last night. Amazing what you can afford if you're thrifty with your grocery shopping!

    Ah that's the sort of thing: I love the style of that period of Italian motors.

    Mitsubishi calls it a day in Europe: starting next month, it's three SUV models will no longer be imported. A bloody shame, but this was bound to happen. Until 2005 they had a very "cool" product portfolio.

    The Mirage and L200 will remain available until the end of next year.

    Sad.

    Wow! the company must be in really bad trouble. The outlander is by far the best selling hybrid SUV. They're still heavily subsidesed.

    The current corvettes and mustangs look great too.

    General Motors trademarks E-Ray again, sparking more murmurs about an electrified Corvette.

    I love that horizontal ribbing separating the flanks - a typical Pininfarina design element also evident in the Daytona.

    Yes, but I prefer them original wheels. ;-)

    I always liked the Ferrari Eric Clapton had made which was inspired by the 512 BB

    Pretty sure I had a poster on my wall with both of those on! :) I think there was a Countach there too.

    l agree. For some strange reason, even as a child I wasn't very fond of Porsches... and I'm old enough to remember the appearance of the "901"...which had to be renamed the 911 because Peugeot successfully claimed a trademark right to use three-digit numbers with a zero in the middle (such as 403 - Columbo's car! - and 404). Anyway, even as a first-grader I failed to see what people saw in a 356. It was just a flattened VW Beetle for me. I might think different today, but then...

    I also wasn't a fan of the 911 but liked the 944,928,959.


    2021 Hyundai i30 Sedan N Line imo looks terrible...........

    That's the same thing; different regional names.

    It looks quite striking from the rear:
