Best looking one ever I reckon

 

Pretty and Japanese is a contradiction in terms. Their designs are virtually always desperate, aspirational derivatives of European or even American cars, and simply always end up looking "wrong" in one way or another. May I exhibit the RX8 and 350z as current examples of this, both missing the mark; the former being particularly ugly, witness the front wing/wheel arch area.

 

A bit harsh I feel... At least the Japs have tried to be "original" with the RX8, OK - some of the angles it might not work but it's more interesting than the derivative saloon/hatches that are churned out by every other manufacturer. Would you put a new 3 series above the RX8 as a "pretty" car?

I've always liked the RX7 (Gen 4), remember a black one nailing it past me on the M40 at night... Thought I'd been strafed by the batmobile!!!

 

I honestly dont think you can beat a classic Impreza, they have a stance that is spot on. Its difficult for me to explain, but involves the rear windows and the swage lines down the side.

Mk2 MR2 is still a great design

 

infinity g35 coupe
early mitsu eclipses (except for that freaky hood)
toyota celica's (just the not this generation)

that toyota is a one that i've never even heard of before, it looks sweet tho

 

My all time fave J-car for good looks would have to be the RX7 FD3S (Gen 3).
Compare it to anything else that was released in 92 and nothing comes close!

Nowadays the surviving FDs have truly awesome styling to keep it up to date:

C West Sleek Headlamps (not pop up)
Scoot carbon bonnet
Mazdaspeed 99-spec aero kit etc etc

check out http:\\www.rotaryextreme.com as an example!

Next would be the

Mazda RX8
Nissan S15 Silvia
Mitsubishi FTO Version R Aero Series
Subaru Impreza GC8 WRX STI v5 Type R


Slighty off the subject, for sheer agressive ugliness (but I still love 'em):

1) Skyline R32 GTR
2) Pulsar GTiR
3) Skyline R34 GTR
4) Lancer EVO 6 RS

 

Hashi

Agree about Skylines and Evo 6's: look properly aggressive, but certainly not pretty. The Evo 6 is the best looking JAPANESE>

 

Purely on Looks

1. Skyline R34
2. FTO
2. RX7 (cant split 2nd place-dead heat )
3. NSX

 

1. Evo 6 GSR
2. Nissan 350z
3. Impreza Sti 6
4. Celica GT40
5. Skyline R34

 

S2000.
Nissan 240Z
Honda S800 (in a cute way)
Mazda MX5 (not may fav but it is a nice clean design)

 

PMSL @ Evo 6 and Sti 6 and Skyline.

The other 2 are OK, but there is no way on earth the other 3 car be regarded as pretty!

 

That was used in one of the James Bond films- wasn't it ?

I believe they are ultra rare and expensive.

Nissan Figaro and S-Cargo- you do not get a better looking van than that.

Del

 

1 Nissan 350Z
2 Mitsi 3000GT/Mk4 Supra
3 Mitsi FTO

and err Nissan Pulsar Gti-r

 

Mitsibishi Dangan Cute as you like, and with 4wd and a 600cc turbo'd motor, great for round town, nice touch is the passanger door being longer so as to aid in access to the rear seats.

 

Datsun 240z. Too cool for you guys
Kam

 

rx7 type R

nissan 200sx S14a

BEAUTIFUL

 

Maybe not pretty davyboy but i just think they look..........how u say........"the nuts"

 

Looks are really down to personal taste.

"Who's the most beautiful woman in the world?" Ask 10 blokes the same question, and they will all give you a different answer.

In my view (on Japanese cars), I do prefer the retro 80s style a lot with Japanese cars, so;

AE86 Trueno Sprinter GTV or GT Apex earlier type - has to be a Panda Trueno - possibly one of the most quirky looking car ever, IMHO!

Mk1 MR2 - the earliest ones, without all the added bits on.

FC3S with smooth bonnet

Subaru 360

As for more recent styling,

S15 Silvia - a guy I know has one, and was told by a woman "nice 'Ferrari" ^_^'

FD3S

S2000

Mk2 GTO


As for the most beautiful looking woman... hmmm, don't get me started ^o^

 

I think the Nissan Figaro is pretty

 

mr2 mk2
rx8

 

Nahhh, the GPX is much better looking!

Only cos i used to drive one!

 

Mk2 MR2
MX5 Mk1

 

of jap sports cars

prettiest : rx7 / nsx
hardist! : 22b / r34gtr
ugliest : 4th gen supra / gtir altho with mods both can look well

 

Its gotta be an 80s Nissan Cherry 1.3LX


FTO is a right munter, as is scoob
I like the GTR 32 but no way would I say its pretty

Supra and RX7 from early 90s (the fast one) are the nicest I can think of

 

Impreza MY00-02?
