Maybe not as pretty as the '84 GTO but always in every list!



If we're including racing cars, these take some beating for out and out good looks:

in recent times I found one of the prttiest cars made was the 406 coupe, stunning from any angle and looked quick even when stationary, but it needed the 3.0 v6 to do it any justice and as for the oil burner version, pah.

406 Coupe looks like a cod that's crashed into a Ferrari...

Stratos is more "striking" than pretty. Personally I'd go for the Lambo Miura and Alfa Montreal.

For me it is the Porsche 356 Speedster





I also love the Merc 300SL and Aston Martin DB5

My favourite prettiest modern car is the Aston Martin V8 Vantage
