Now that we know what the most beautiful car is (Damnit it wasn't that Pontiac), now we can move onto some more hectic most *insert something that will make everyone go bonkers about because no one will agree with you and that the top three are predictable*.

I can't really put a listing out, it's to hard for me to decide which car is the most beautiful of all. Heck I couldn't say which 10 are the most beautiful, I would always want to make changes after I had set my list.

I JUST saw an E-type in person (it was getting a jump start from an Elise, yes it was heaven) and I have to say it is insanely beautiful in person. Pictures do not do that car justice.

Its not so much a matter of taste as a matter of fame. As a comparison I seriously doubt that Ms. Jolie is the hottest woman on the planet but she is certainly best known.

There were quite a few cars listed that I would either not have thought of right away or just plain had no clue existed.

My votes:
10 points-Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale
9 points-(Ferrari) Dino 206/246
8 points-Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
7 points-Lamborghini Miura
6 points-Jaguar XK8 (not the new XK)
5 points-1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
4 points-Chrysler Concorde (1998-2004)
3 points-Volvo P1800
2 points-Datsun 240Z
1 point-1991-95 Toyota MR2

I bet if more people knew about the Tipo 33 and the Dino, they would've gotten even higher than they were.
