    Corvette and 911 are both equally as lazy in design as they have looked almost completley the same for around the past 15 years 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.

    I want to die in my sleep like my Grandma, not screaming like the other 3 people in her car.

    There are 10 types of people in this world. People who understand binary and people who don't.

    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.
