    The Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera, Audi RS4, Ferrari 360 Modena... the list goes on.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

    Best:

    1) Citroen C6 --- Typically French, elegant yet practical...Just a overall "finished" car
    2) BMW 7-series --- The daring design has some great styling cues, especially the not-facelifted version. Also chosen because of the sheer difficulty of implementing the design onto the car.
    3) FIAT Grande Punto --- Very well suited for it's market. Not aimed at too young people, nor too old. Italian charisma.
    4) Citroen C4 Berline --- Nice design, as the C6 elegant yet practical. A pity though the suspension ruins the car.
    5) Maserati Quattroporte --- Very nice... Italian beauty and emotion.

    Worst:

    1) Ferrari F430 --- Overdone, weird body lines... Not aimed at it's market (older males) and lacking Italian charisma
    2) Lamborghini Gallardo --- Too much sharp angles. Though modern, not the way too go. Lacks Italian elegance too..
    3) Ferrari Enzo --- What can I say...
    4) Renault Scenic --- Boring design, boring everything. Clearly taking care for it's conservative group of buyers it is not my thing.
    5) BMW 1-series --- First time I saw it, I had to laugh out loud. The seperate pieces of the design (front,rear etc.) don't match or complement eachother. Also with the long bonnet and the wide look, it is just a wrong basic shape... Not my thing, but offcourse popular for it's badge.

    nothing aganist your meaning (well SUVs are more or less sense- & pointless but not automatically ugly & devilish) but the 1007 is a PEUGEOT not a Renault and it's called SsangYong

    most beautiful:

    1) Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione
    2) Ferrari 599
    3) Citroen C6
    4) Alfa Romeo Brera
    5) Aston Martin DB7 Zagato

    ugliest:
    1) Nissan Micra CC (lapse of taste cubed)
    2) Smart ForFour (looks like a 4-eyed duck)
    3) Seat Toledo Mk3 (a Sedan-Version of a Mini-Van?? stuff that nobody ever asked for)
    4) Renault Twingo (the all-new one off course)
    5) Ssang Yong Actyon Sports (pick-up version of a 5-door-suv-coupe, so weird & ugly that it's cool again)

    It's BEAUTIFUL or not. NOT 'good' or 'bad' car; or 'you like' or 'you don't like'.

    The Audi TT thou looked good, is a total replica of the previous with refine lines.

    And i couldn't find any reason for Maserati Quattroporte's lines and profiles being over rated. It's beautilicious!

    Yeah, Best in style, worst in style. Get it?

    Quattroporte is possibly the most overrated car in terms of style on this forum. It's OK at best imo.

    With the most honourable exception of the AR 8C, nobody makes beautiful cars any more.

    There's plenty of great-looking cars, but they aren't beautiful in the way that an E type or Dino were.

    Just my opinion, of course.
