Morgan Aero 8 vs. Panoz Esperante

Motor Trend ranked these to be very equal in terms of performance. They are both handbuilt, expensive cars, that run around the same price. Many accuse the Aero of being butt-ugly, and many accuse the Esperante of being too 'American.' My question is a question more of taste. American style vs. European style.

The Morgan isn't fugly IMO. It does need the front lights sorting, but apart from that it is a modern interpretation of a classic British motor.

The BMW sourced V8 is quite handy, and the handling is supposed to be good as well.

Not such a fan of the Panoz.

The Panoz, I love the look of it and its a good performer as well. Although the Morgan also looks good and is definitely unique.

the aero 8 obviously. It looks fab and deserves less criticism. It only weighs about a ton and goes like stink. The panoz doesn't get close

I would say that I would have to go with the Morgan. I love the styling, especially the exposed ash frame, and it's very fast. Although I also like the Panoz and if it was the higher tuned Esperante I would have to go with it. But overall I would take the Morgan.
