I haven't checked, but I'm willing to bet that the E-type won.

Rover SD1 on 66th place. images/smilies/lmao.gif

Crazyjeeper · March 22nd, 2008, 10:21 PM

The E-type is beautiful but that Citroen especially the early model with those headlights is images/smilies/yucky.gif

Why so little love for the DS? I adore it's shape.

Admittedly I wouldn't call it the second most beautiful car in the world, but it's not actively ugly.

It should be top 50, at any rate.

That is the Citroen DS that should be on the list, not the early model.

Ilpav · March 22nd, 2008, 10:25 PM

Yeah. I just read the article, and most of it was wrong. HOW THE HELL IS THE DB7 #43 AND THE XJ220 IS #80!??!??!?!! images/smilies/mad.gif

. And how come they didn't include the Ferrari F355???!?!??!

For me:

#1: Ferrari F355

#2: Aston Martin DB7

#3: Jaguar XJ220

Holy shit, they put a Mk1 Ford Granada ahead of a Jaguar XJ220

Hmm yeah I can see that Ford is clearly much better looking images/smilies/idiot.gif

thedguy · March 23rd, 2008, 12:07 AM

I stopped looking after I saw the Land Rover Defender at 85... ahead of the Toyota 2000GT.

The Defender MAY be (in depending on options and things) look cool, but it's FAR from beautiful.

Hidden_Hunter · March 23rd, 2008, 1:03 AM

The list is total crap, some truly bizaar selections in there. Half of the cars are fairly ghastly

Brother Michael · March 23rd, 2008, 1:31 AM

I am sooooo flabbergasted right now....

Rover SD-1 ahead of Volvo P1800, Triumph TR6, Maserati 3500GT, FERRARI 250 GT for christ's sake !!!.....and the list goes on....and on.....and on...

I mean for fuck's sake, the Land Rover Defender.....this truly can not represent the majority of opinions within british population.....I mean of all the people in the world you would think the brits would rank the Triumphs and such very high, but noooo....let's put the Ford Granada instead....I am so very much confused my head still hurts...and yes, I also guessed the winner without looking. Kind of obvious choice.

Suedschleife · March 23rd, 2008, 1:54 AM

I was mildly surprised by some of the choices until I spotted the Mercedes SL 300 at #13 behind a Jaguar Mk2 and realized this is must be an early April fools day joke.

Crazyjeeper · March 23rd, 2008, 1:57 AM

Yeah, that list was rubbish. There where many cars on there that should have been on the ugliest cars list. As soon as I saw the ford GT40 in the 80s, I knew it was bad.

I'm going to have to disagree. Wasn't that car displayed in the Louvre at one point?

smib · March 23rd, 2008, 7:35 AM

I guess I'm the only person that thinks the XJ220 is one of the ugliest cars ever? It's a boat of a car that was supposed to look streamlined but is just offensively horrid.

I agree that it's not beautiful, but it's not meant to "look streamlined" it IS. It's why it has song a long low front and tall long ass.

Programme · March 23rd, 2008, 8:02 AM

I really do think that the Citroen DS is worthy of being named as one of the most beautiful cars of all time. It's not good looking in the same sporty sense that the other cars are, but it's a tremendously beautiful design nonetheless.

It was also revolutionary for its time both mechanically and design wise: the DS19 was released in 1955 not only with those looks but with power steering, disc brakes and hydropneumatic suspension.

Frankly, if you think the DS is ugly then you're clearly showing your age.
