What car looks good to you?

While I love what Tesla is doing, I also think their external design is their least appealing part.

I think there are many fine examples of great car designs. Recently, I can think of Mini, Fiat 500, Alfa 147, Alfa MiTo, Golf Mk I & II, Lamborghini Gallardo, BMW 3 series E21-E46...

Doesn't the Tesla 3 try too much to look like a Porsche?

The two current sibling comments are pretty on the mark. Alfas, Land Rovers. I quite like some of the BMWs.

Fiat and Citroen are, on the more reasonably priced end of the spectrum, doing innovative/interesting things that are at the very least not bland.

"I quite like some of the BMWs."

GRILLs, Grills everywhere!

Yaawwwwhhhrrrrr! Grrrrrrrrr!

Grills == BBQ == Manly!

Sorry, I'm just poking fun. There are so many auto style people that go ga-ga over something that is fundamentally inefficient aerodynamically.

I'd like to note that Fiat and Citroen, based on my rather sparse knowledge, are basically not even bothering with EVs at the moment.

Fiat have an electric 500, and Citroen have been reselling Mitsubishi EVs for a looong time, but yeah, not a whole lot going on. I figured GP was discussing design aesthetic in general though.

I always thought BMWs grills looked more snout-like than BBQ-ish...
