Best looking real world car you can buy at the moment?

Sat May 26, 2012 5:06 pm

Well its the e class coupe. It looks better than any 3 series coupe that has come before it, they really are stunning and look better in the flesh than in the pictures.

They have a road presence that an e30 m3 can only dream of. If you want performance then brabus can give you 800bhp.

My brother in law has got one of these in white as above - Diesel E350 IIRC.

Very nice car with massive spec - the finance payments on it are more than my monthly mortgage payment though

Smallish car: current Astra, a well balanced 'teardrop' shape.
Medium saloon: C Class Sport with the Big three pointed star in the grille
Bigger saloon: F10 5 Series, an epically good looking car- especially after the E60
Coupe: New 6 Series, just lovely.
Big saloon: the current S Class
Sports car stuff: I don't rate any but the R8 is a good effort.

I think that Merc coupe is horrid. Looks like a Toyota.

In Roger's real world i'd have my Touring back on the road,however,if it was a new car,then probably this.......well having looked I can't find a picture of it.

Audi S8 Touring,V10 Gallardo power in an understated body shell which simply has disceet V10 badges on the wings,a real beauty,none of the smaller RS6 chavvery.

Not available in the UK,and as far as I know,very few were built. One of my German clients has one which he drove over to the UK a couple of months ago,fantastic looking car,and immensly powerful.

My understanding is,as he is a rather big player in German banking circles Audi invited him to buy it!

Lucky rich git!

That white E class coupe looks fooking shite as do the E class saloons.

The C class saloon is ten times better looking!

Have to agree with Andrew on the F12 6 series, awesome looking thing!

I love the look they did with the 1M , but I like the smallish 2 door saloons style. I think I might try and find an Alpina 1 series coupe over the next few years as that would be my idea of perfection of a modern motor.

I would love to see what Brabus would do to the SLS as they are one of the most bonkers modders I've ever seen.

You really think the new Astra is a nice looking car?!? It's totally rancid in my eyes the worst looking car in the c segment if you ask me.

The new Kia Cee'd is a much better looking car only better looking car in it's class would have to be the VW Golf

Judge for yourself.....

Astra....

Cee'd

I think this has to be one of the most awrsom looking machines on sale today......

Do you know if they are planning to do anything on the 1 series coupe at all buddy?

I think they could really do an awesome job as the Alpina styling touches would really compliment the shape of the car.

I'm not asking you - look at the foul, overstyled Korean junk you sell!

I really like these at the moment. I was quite disappointed to find out there is no way the kids would fit in the back.

I have to agree with above, the RCZ is a good looking car and to be honest if it had a BMW, Audi, Merc etc badge on it, they would be substantially more expensive.

There is a few for me at the moment:

Volvo S60
New 5 and 6 Series BWM's
3 Door Astra GTC
Merc C Class Coupe
Infinity 4X4 thing no idea what its called
Fiat 500 Abarth
The new ford focus ST
Audi A6 Avant

And I know i'll get slated for this but the latest Corsa VXR, as long as its not in a stupid colour.

I didn't think you were asking me, but I was certainly asking you.

Would that be the same foul over styled Korean junk that's currently receiving excellent reviews from all the major online and magazine car reviewers ??

Trust me you should look at one in the flesh. Looks almost as good as a £350 e36 touring.

But only if it's been modded with a knackered front splitaaah and moty sport wheels!
