I think you post things just to read your thoughts out loud.
Keep 'em to yourself.
I can, but cars from that era don't generally tickle my fancy anyway. The craftsmenship & design definitely speaks volumes about what Rolls Royce is, I would just never buy the car from the design alone.

If you're talking about all Rolls-Royces ever made, you can't say this is ugly.
that should be the Bat mobile, or a Studibaker,
I also have to disagree with Fred on the 599 ferrari (page 2), That has to be the best looking pointless Ferrari ever made, I don't particularly like the brand, now its less exclusive and doesn't have the fire and passion owning a Ferrari once had, It is still an awesome piece of kit,
Been through 9 pages of this thread so far, how come no one has posted a GTR?

Don't know if it's a repost, but these aren't exactly pretty:
They weren't exactly pretty, but I think they've aged decently well. In a way, I think it captured the enthusiasm and style of the late 90s, early 00s.
And actually, the 7 series ended up being quite influential. Remember how everyone criticized Bangle and BMW for the hump on the trunk? Well well, look what we have here:
The LS's hump is much smaller and much more subtle, but a lot of high end luxury sedans ended up adopting that double deck profile.
Never mind that the E63 7 series actually outsold any previous generation of 7 series, and that the current S Class manages to make the E63 7 series look conservative.

Looks like it's based on the old Opel Kadett/Vauxhall Astra.

The sedan looks even more dated than the original Nexia hatch it's based on, and only slightly more modern looking than the Mk2 Astra/Kadett E that was based on.
But for something that was re-designed in Coventry and produced in Uzbekistan, I'm not sure they could have done much to make it look any better or up-to-date unless they decided to use the Lanos as a base instead. Although that's even smaller and almost as poor as the Nexia really.

When I lived in Newmarket I was on an automotive ally of sorts, the entire road was car dealerships and nothing else.
Every day I would go past the VW dealership and saw this.. thing.. I thought it was some kind of one off cross breed concept between the golf and the beetle.
I wish I were right.
Positively awful 👎
