    The most perfect car I've ever seen must be Ferrari 308.

    Perfect mix of flowing and angular body lines, perfect proportions, perfect everything.
    Hell, even the speedometer is perfect!

    You can't find a bad angle or a weak line, its just pure sex on four wheels

    Says who? Here's the original thread...
    "I know we've had a lot of most beautiful car threads, but I'm wondering what you guys think the most flowing design is. Not necessarily the fastest looking car, but the one with best lines."
    FYI, the CLE has a release date of 2007.

    By the way, I know this is based on opinion, but how is a Lotus Exige elegant? Sexy, yes. Aggressive, definitely. But elegant? If you want real cars, without thinking about it too much, I really love the Jag S-Type R. It has style, elegance, and massive balls (and yes, I know it's based on the Lincoln).

    I know and I was thinking about leaving it out... But I love it so much, and it really does have a very flowing design, if you don't let the sex appeal of it distract you from the beauty of the lines.

    1937 Cadillac V16 Roadster bodied by Willy Hartmann in the Figoni et Falaschi style. It was made for some Swiss playboy. Here's pic, but it doesn't do it justice. You have to see it at the Blackhawk Auto Museum in Danville, Ca.

    Although, I have to admit that the Porsche 356 is a pretty elegant machine in its own right.

    The Supra is okay to me except for that ricey lookin Spoiler. The Exige is aggressive but overdone and hardly elegant. And pretty much all new cars are too plasticky for me

    older Rolls are elegant...
    most of the car you people list here i found are too aggressive to be elegant.. (e.g. ferraris, supra, exige)
    SL500 is quite elegant... i found the white SLR is very elegant.. not too aggressive and racy, but i know lots of people hate it..
    the Jaguar XJ8 is elegant too..
