Volvo P1800 E

[CdocZ]

ARE YOU JOKING! The DB9 is one of the most elegant cars ever built. If you have ever seen a Murcielago, you will think they are beautiful. They lose alot in pictures. The SLR is the only one I can barely agree with you. Have you seen any of the cars i posted in real life? (Not asking this to be a jackass, asking if you actually have seen them, and if so which)

EDIT: The Venturi looks good, but I do not agree that it looks better then a DB9 or a Pagani. In my opinion, it is lower then all the cars I posted.

At least I don't like a piece of junk from the past. (Only a few cars from the past are classics). Saying an Aston Martin or a Lambo being unoriginal and passe are the most retarded things I've ever heard. These are luxurious, beautifully-crafted cars that only a few are able to afford them. While not being a big fan of the SLR, I don't doubt its originality, it's just not my style. All supercars are not unoriginal...you will see that each one is special in its own way. Though one car was forgot, the Ferrari Enzo. Now, that's a beautiful thing. Looking at a Ferrari is like looking at heaven or angels among crummy, UGLY cars including Chevys, Fords, or Priuses. Ferraris are beautiful...old and new...you can't go wrong with one.

I like the Enzo, but it just didn't seem to fit. I think it as beautiful not in the same way as things like the Pagani. I think it more beautiful in the way of something like.......something like the F50. I remember the first time I saw an Enzo.........washington autoshow......but never again, at detroit, geneva or new york city.

I like the 1800 as well. I was surprised to find out it was a Volvo after the first time I saw it, it's a great lookin little car.

Here are some cars I find beautiful, in terms of sheer elegance. Dropping the feel of their prescence, aggresiveness, and everything besides sheer beauty.
Aston Martin DB9
Pagani Zonda F
Lamborghini Murcielago
Mercedes SLR

And the horses at the touch of your foot..........all 500 of em....

I'm not going to claim that Ferraris aren't beautiful. I absolutely love the F355. I will also say that it is definately better looking than the Volvo. My original claim was just that the 1800 was the best looking Volvo.

[escudo_guy]

But, on the other hand, I would take a Morgan, Pagani, or TVR over a Ferrari, Lambo, or Aston any day. I like a car that hasn't been done before.

[CdocZ]

Say that in the beggining next time, please. I hate it when useless arguments pop up.

But in the end.......that Volvo just doesnt do it for me.

Well I see the charm of the old Volvo. It was the car Roger Moore drove in The Saint wasn't it? I rate it alongside the VW Karmann Ghia. Similar cars, similar era, similar sort of style, similar price. Both nice looking. They don't really set my pulse racing but I'd happily own one.

I would rate it over the Karrmann Ghia, certainly performance wise, with about 2.5 times the amount of HP.

[greg.harvey]

Sure.

Saw one the other day in central London actually (the Volvo). Had a lovely exhaust note.

I'm going to agree with Escudo guy for three reasons.
1) He has a picture of an integrale ava

2)This is a classic car forum and i'm not being funny but a car must be a few years old before it becomes a classic- there IS a difference between classic- and exotic.

3)He is right, the P1800 series cars the best looking Volvo.
