I found some of the comments in this particular article humorous and interesting. Thought it might be of interest.\

    The Veyron should definitely NOT be on that list, and there are many aston martins that are better looking than the one they picked. Also how is the 250 California spyder not on the list?? And they need at least 1 old Corvette, ... newer cars the Carrera GT should be on the list. Older Rolls look better than the Phantom; they definitely needed more older luxury cars like Bentley or Duesenberg. The more I think about it the more the list sucks.

    Any list about the best-looking cars ever is guaranteededly going to be lame.

    I never understood lists where they would include Ferraris and Corvettes with four door Rolls Royces and Cadillacs.

    Has to be top ten "sports cars" or "luxury cars" etc.

    It would be like trying to make a list of the top ten songs. How can you compare the Rolling Stones with Cat Stevens?

    The Veyron, Zonda, Mustang and Rolls don't belong, at all.

    The 911 should be in the place of the above though :p

    The Zonda and the Bugatti don't belong. The Ferrari 355 should be number 3 and the Shelby number 10 imo.

    At the very least, the inclusion of these two cars makes that list totally worthless. They just can't be serious.....the Phantom? LOL!

    There is only one car on that list that I agree with -- Jaguar XKE. I've owned four of them, still have one now and will keep it until my kids inherit it. The lines of the E-type are nothing short of perfect.

    As for the rest of the list.... blech!

    I like much the pic of the e type , very beautiful, but i prefer the convertible version.
    The rolls phantom is the most ugly rolls royce of the history.

    of all the Ferraris...the Dino is on the list? What about the F40, TR, 348, 355...way better looking cards in my opinion.

    The only car that belongs on that list is indeed the Zonda the rest of the cars where ugly. What the hell is elenor doing on that list?. They should have put the orginal Shelby GT500 on there if they where gonna do that.

    Where's the Lamborghini Countach, Muira and Ferrari 288GTO? and FXX.

    Style is so very subjective. All of you are right, yet all of you are wrong.

    I don't think the mustang, rolls, pagani, or veyron should be on there. The Veryon is just so bland looking and the front end of the Zonda makes me sick. The rolls looks nice, but not beautiful.

    The Talbot Lago tear drop is definitely the most beautiful car of all time. I would have like to see the Bugatti atlantic on the list.

    Just as I was about to say that I was disappointed that no one mentioned the Talbot Lago! Absolutely stunning car. Looking at that car never fails to excite me. The Phantom and Mustang on the other hand, are a completely different story. While both of them may be found attractive in their own right, they certainly don't belong on a list that includes cars like the Dino, Talbot Lago, Count Trossi SSK, and 300SL.

    But of course, no "definite" list will ever be created. To think that an agreed upon list of "Top 10 Most Beautiful Cars of all Time" could ever be created is laughable when I highly doubt anyone here would be able to agree on a "Top 10 Most Beautiful Ferraris." :) And I'm sure if I took the time to search I'd find a million threads proving that.
