Has to be the RX7 FD, simple, smooth, looks fast (goes fast). :D

A second close has to be the VW Karmann Ghia :thumb:

Some odd choices on here, but then we are all different.

In terms of modern cars I think the brera is lovely, for what is essentially a luke warm hatch back.

Everytime I see a Ferrari Daytona I think of a Rover 3500

Matteeboy 30 January 2009 09:54 AM

Loz - I think Rover actually copied the Daytona big time!!

lozgti 30 January 2009 09:59 AM

think you are right! SD1?

Its those lights that do it

Matteeboy 30 January 2009 10:02 AM

I think it's a known industry fact. I have a feeling Ferrari even kicked up a fuss about it.

Hate to say it but to me the Rover is somehow cooler...!

I dont get the Daytona obsession either. I think its the ugliest thing that Ferrari have ever produced.

It was a combination of the wrap-around indicators and the indent along the midrift of the car that was the biggest styling crib.

They both look handsome to me. I can't believe anyone would describe the Daytona as Ferrari's ugliest car. Having said that it's all relative I suppose: Ferrari don't really do ugly, like most other manufacturers. In fact I can't think of one proper Ferrari that I would be ashamed to see parked outside of my house.

And my Dad's one was borderline ugly:

Also not a fan of the 348 or the Mondial but can't think of any other munters in the range!

If any other mass producer (like BMW, Merc or Jag) came up with the 365GT4/400/412 design, it would be considered a fine looking coupé. It sold strongly by Ferrari standards for about 15 years. I don't get the downer people have on its design. Better-looking than an XJS for example.

As for the 308GT4, it's clearly the runt of the Ferrari litter (and in fact not a "proper Ferrari" at all), but it's not really an ugly car compared to some everyday rubbish that we see on the roads.

Matteeboy 30 January 2009 11:42 AM

Turbo - he didn't have the 308 long (pretend Ferrari) - it was stupidly unreliable. Nice engine though.

I have always found the 400 very ugly, even when it came out.
I think a 635CSi or old SL looks heaps better.

Let's get this into perspective. Which one of these three cars is the ugliest?

That's an Alfa 8C compared to...

Even that's got a headlamp/grille arrangement similar to the awesome Delta S4:

Nice to see plenty of Lancias in the list, especially Fulvia and Stratos - both of which I can drive whenever I want :D

Hmmm, that looks familiar:

At least they are fit for purpose: A 400i is a crime against Ferrari both visually and mechanically. I mean whatever idiot Italian thought it was ok to bolt an American GM TH400 3 speed slush-o-matic to a free-revving v12 should be shot at dawn :cuckoo:

RB5_245 31 January 2009 02:50 AM

I like the 400, looks great I think.

XK150 was always my preference
