Corvette and 911 are both equally as lazy in design as they have looked almost completley the same for around the past 15 years :D However, the Corvette is more satisfying to the eye in my opinion.

Pinin-Ferrari P4/5 is pure sex, end of story.

Maserati Quattroporte has better proportions IMO.

V8 Vantage is graceful sex. Current Ferrari's have the grace of a dying goat.

Maserati MC12. Although I prefer the Zonda overall, the MC12 has to be the most satisfying car to look at in recent years.

Carrera GT. K'segg has always seemed a bit too flat at the sides for me.

Don't particularly like the styling of either, I'd probably just toss a coin to decide which was better.

Maserati for me. I prefer swoops and curves to edgy, aggressive styling.


Mercedes-Benz CLS
or
Maserati Quattroporte

Very tough call, my two favourite top end saloon cars. Maserati wins it by a hair's breadth.


Aston Martin V8 Vantage
or
Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

I'd probably say Aston, even though it's completely unoriginal. I thought the 599 would be a car that would grow on me, but it just hasn't happened.


Pagani Zonda F
or
Maserati MC12

Pagani


Porsche Carrera GT
or
Koenigsegg CCX

Carrera GT. Brilliantly understated and classy, yet still retains that true show-stopping supercar road presence.

I don't like the C6 or 997 very much. Just bland updates in design of the previous models. If forced, I'd take the 997...

The P4/5 hands down- how Pininfarina managed to design such an ugly car with the Birdcage I'll never know.

CLS and Maserati are pretty much equal. Both gorgeous.

The Aston. New Ferraris make me sick.

Maserati MC12 = beautiful. Pagani = wild. I prefer beauty.

And the Porsche wins the last one. the Koenigsegg is a crap design, to me.

Are you joking? That back wing is awful, and the back sil of the car looks like the deck of a boat, awful.

it would have had to be 6 separate polls ... and then people wouldn't take the time to explain their decisions :)

Chevrolet Corvette Z06; Both are bland but its just slightly less so.
Pininfarina Maserati Birdcage; Swooping styling, curves and uncompromised by things like "having to work"
Maserati Quattroporte; The CLS looks like Dame Edna Everage.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage; It looks like a DB9, but the DB9 looks incredible
Pagani Zonda F; Much more intersting to look at AND it looks good in orange.
Porsche Carrera GT; Coin toss really.

Rather have a Fast and Furious spoiler?

I'd rather not have a spoiler on a supercar. When you pay that much money for a car it shouldn't need a spoiler.

Not a great comparo....Here's a better one:

Zonda F vs Murcielago LP640 vs Saleen S7-TT vs Ferrari P 4/5 vs Maserati MC12

Porsche 997 Turbo-Clearly the more civilised car out of the two and the design is classier, whereas the ZO6 is a little too vulga for my tastes.

Maserati Birdcage-Its front is full of curves, the back is sleek and angular and everything else in between is just perfect. One of a few concept cars that actually looks good!

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Ah, now. This was the mst difficult one. The quattroporte is certainly a beautiful car, but i chose the CLS because its curved arse is, dare i say it, actually beautiful. The one that we've got, the 63 AMG is a very aggressive lking beast. And for that the CLS wins.

Aston Martin V8-I chose the AMV8 withut any hesitation. It is drop-dead gorgeous and the 599 is a good looking car, but the Aston Martin will always be the better looking car.

Pagani Zonda F-The Zonda is just wild. It looks like its been designed by Mickey Mouse. It looks like no other car on the roads today adn for that it is the victor.

Porsche Carrera GT-Another one that i chose quickly. The CCX, is well sort of like the Zonda. They've tried to get the basic Ferrari 360 design and attempted to wild it out. And the result-a car that looks not very, but extremely ugly! Its a good thing that its fast then.
