Coolest looking cars made. No exotics.

I'm impartial as well, I drive an RX-8, partially for the novelty of the rotary engine and the awesome handling, but also for the styling.  Really well done, IMO (though I think the new R3's are actually a bit less attractive than the standard GT models).  I think the front end of that car with the flared wheel wells is one of the hottest things I have ever seen.  The rear could use more creativity, though.  It's like they spent too much time on the front half of the car, and had to toss the back together before a deadline or something.

neon's don't hold up in crashes well. somebody in one pulled out in front of me when i was doing 65 in my 1986 nissan maxima. both cars got totaled but his left on the flatbed, mine got towed.  he had a 98-00 model neon.   

No car would survive that.  A guy in a Buick Century once pulled out in front of me.  I hit him with a Nissan Sentra at 55.  Totalled both cars.

This topic is about looks and nothing else.  I agree the Neon looks as good as any large-scale production car ever.  SRT-4 is AWESOME.

These are the best looking cars of every decade, beginning in the 50's (and remember, looks are subjective)...

50's: '57 Chevy - preferably sunset or burnt orange/cream 2-tone.

60's: 1967 Pontiac GTO - black

70's: 1971 Chevy Chevelle - black

80's: 1987 GN GNX - they only came in one color

90's: 1999 Pontiac Trans Am - black

2000's: 2002 e46 M3 - laguna seca blue

What about this:

These are an absolute blast to drive around in.  My bro-in-law has one and its like a go-cart on steroids.  There is no graceful way to get in or out either if you have the top on the thing.

Spring is in the air and exotics are on the street.  I saw at least a dozen Ferrari 360's today, 3 Ferrari 430's, 2 new Phantoms, half a dozen older RR's.

I find this thread great, except the Ford GT, that is an exotic

Frankie, you just have to be able to link straight to the image file then paste the link between the image tag.

[yamahonkawazuki]

is this an exotic? almost is, but either way, does it can it count? in this poll? err thread?

God, I love those cars!  Maserati just rolls off the tongue so smoothly. 
I actually think I may have talked my father into a Quattroporte.  Initial cost on a low mileage 3 year old model is ridiculously cheap for what you get, unfortunately you get the Ferrari service costs.  Actually, the newest Fcars are relatively low maint., those damn Masi's like to burn control modules and you can pretty much count on 5k each time.

I'd love to own one, someday I probably will, but my next car purchase will probably be an 00-01 996.  Maint. cost is very low, great reliability and they look great too.

This one is SO much fun to drive. he just had the clutch done at 38k miles., thing sounds good, TBH sounded like a mustang with the larini pipes he had on it. trying to talk him into maybe TUBI?, essentially the gransport uses the 430's engine, fastest i had htis one was to 140 it wanted to go faster, as did he, BUT i thought to self, i cnanot afford this car so i respectfully had to decline. we traded seats, and he went faster . OMFG thank god we saw no

I RIPPED by a Masi Gran sport the other day.  That thing was dam near standing still.
Of course, I was driving a buddys very modified 996TT.  560rwhp in a 3200lb Mid-rear car is a friggin hoot!
