Autocar's "Most Beautiful Car" game...
Won't take long...! 
My winner, of course, was the Aston Martin V8 Vantage...which happens to ONLY be third overall.
And yes, behind the Porsche Carrera GT (shutup, nokiaman).
Post your results! Game here: http://mostbeautiful.autocar.co.uk/

my final 2 were:
Jag XF (which is my favorite mid size lux. sedan out there)
vs
Maserati Gran Turismo.
I give respect to the old school cars but i like the new school cars.

Just occurred to me that if the Wiesmann GT was an option, it would've been reaaaaaally tough pick between that and the Aston.
Yeah, I know.

Ferrari 288 GTO v Aston Martin Vantage in the final.
Chose the 288 GTO but it was a tough choice. Believe it or not I'd rather own a Vantage but I think the 288 is a better looking car.

But old bimmers, mercedes, etc will run just as well today as they did they day they rolled off the line if they were maintained. Cars today just arent made the way they were back then.

I had Carrera GT vs Jag XF in finals...
of course I chose GT
I think had the pic of the Jag E-type been a vert, it would have been in the top 2 for me.
It has become my favorite classic car

Interesting how the older designs got no respect.
The vintage Alfa 8c, Gullwing, Cord and Miura gathered most of my attention. Although my age might have something to do with it they were, sans Miura all produced before I was born.

That's why I would rather own the Vantage. Yeah it's expensive at $120k but if I wreck it the automotive world isn't going to lament the loss
