From a purely styling standpoint, who has the best looking car?

From a purely styling standpoint, who has the best looking car? Forget about brand, FWD/RWD, reliability...we're only talking styling and nothing else.... just so we don't get a list full of exotics...let's cap it at 100,000 dollars...

Sports Car - Z06 / Lotus Elise (Tie)
Coupe - BMW M3
Sedan - 300 SRT8
Hatchback - Mini Cooper S
Wagon - Audi S4
SUV - Infiniti FX
Truck - F150

Overall, I find this kind of hard when you get to sedans.. most new sedans and wagons are not very good looking in a classic sense...

Sports car- Z06
Coupe- I wish it was a CTC, but I'll go GTO (2005 with hood scoops)
Sedan- Black STS-V
Hatchback- Mini Cooper
Wagon- Magnum
SUV- Probably Equinox or TB in black
Truck- Believe it or not, as dated as it is, I like the Silverado (has to have the split chrome bar though like pre-06 HDs, and 06 1500s)

Yeah, I'll go GTO too. I saw a black one the other day (06') and it looks 10x better then the Mustang or Charger. IMO

Re: From a purely styling standpoint, who has the best looking car?

I guess we're talking about new cars...

Sports Car - C6 Z06
Coupe - TVR Sagaris/M3 CSL
Sedan - CLS55 (duh)/Audi RS4
Hatchback - um...I think hatchbacks lack any and all sense of style and proportion but if I had to pick one...I guess it'd be the SVT Focus.
Wagon - Magnum SRT-8
SUV - Range Rover Sport Supercharged/FX45
Truck - Are you kidding?

Agree with all and to those who don't put the XLR near or at the top of their list. Go look at one in person and you WILL change your mind.

i've seen plenty. they look quite awkward to me from any angle. if the XLR looked anything like the Cien, then we'd have something to talk about.

As far as the most well executed designs, I had a thread about this before and I haven't changed my mind. The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is the most beautiful excecution of design in modern times.
