The current car I lust after is a 68 Dodge Charger like in the Blade movies.

I also happen to like late 50s model mercedes.

The car that I miss the most that I used to own is a 70 model Cutlass.

1. Dream car would be one of the new 2017 Stingrays
2. Ugliest car would have to be The Pacer or Gremlin
3. While there are a lot of cars I think are beautiful, I think the 93-97 Ford Probe GT is one of the nicest looking cars of all time, low, wide, smooth curves and a very organic shape. It is one of the 90's cars where the styling still looks good today...I personally have owned 4 of these cars and am currently on number 4 LOL

I still like my previous list, but the Alfa Giulia could fill the first and second spots.

Big dually trucks with one passenger and no cargo seem ugly philosophically and visually.

I like my current car, the SMART Passion for two. I think it's perfect for me.

The ugliest car I've ever seen is the Scion. It looks like a box on wheels.

this car is IMHO the most beautiful ever made and I would be in hog heaven if I could just drive one for a day. I can't think of any outright ugly cars.

i have to agree about the beauty of that machine.
my friends father had one when i was a child.
it has a very long wheelbase which is good for high speed stability....if it could attain high speeds.
it had a very soft ride and supremely comfortable seats, but when he backed out of the driveway and powered it up the hill, it was apparent that it was extremely under powered.
it had a 4 cylinder engine that was unfortunately quite gutless.

even though there are newer model much more expensive rolls royce's, the 1970 silver shadow must be the best sculpted presentation of a car i have ever seen.
they look visually dominant even when parked next to a 2015 bentley.

my father's friend had one, and i rode in it and it had such a smooth and silent ride it was unbelievable.
i used to watch for potholes in the road that he was headed toward, and when the wheels passed over them, it was barely perceptible in the cabin.
it had rather good acceleration and could keep at 120 mph all day without a problem (as long as it was on straight road).
top speed was never published. the engine was a 7.4 litre V8.

the ugliest car i have ever seen (in my opinion) is the "ford anglia".
england turned out some atrocious designs.
this was a very bad example:

I need an Iveco 19,6m van. I need somewhere to live after all and I'd prefer it wasn't a total shoebox -

^^^I would not be bothered by its slow acceleration, I value its thoroughly isolated ride quality above all.

If vans are allowed, Citroen H is the ugliest vehicle ever designed.

well i googled the aztec and i agree it was a rather ill designed car. the double decker front part of the car is superfluous, especially considering the car's size.


yeah poor old "edsel " tried to impress his father (henry ford) with that attempt at a luxury line that would rival the lincoln brand. not well received by the public was that car.
