I've yet to see a decent looking Alpina. What is it with the dodgy graphics?


I'll take the DBS, 430 Scuderia and the GT2 please.

I think the Lambo is too contrived(why would you style a car on an ugly plane?) but I'll take it anyway.

I'm a big fan of recent Lambo syling, but the new one is horrid. Just way too obvious.

I agree. It looks like a moving bee hive

I just think that if the brief was to use a plane as design inspiration they might have at least used a nice looking one...

Compare:



OR






I guess the F22 is modern looking but it FUGLY!

Cheers for sharing Wantone

Those BMW's look ugly (as always)
The blingie Veyron is worse looking than the original
The Bentley has a nice interior, but is very "old man"
The Artega GT looks awesome and is hopefully a real Porsche killer
The Fiat is trying too hard (where's the Fiat 500 Arbrath)
Ferrari 430 Scuderia & Aston Martin DBS

Citroen C thingie :thumdn:
Yet another "hot" Mini
Polo GTI cabrio

The Lambo is just trying too hard. I like the front, but the back is a joke.

Brabus V12 bus. It will go like stink, but will cost a small fortune, and everyone will think you have a normal Merc

F700 looked interesting for a Merc concept, but they won't build it

Porsche GT2

And finally the Scooby. It looks a lot better in rally colours, but that doesn't say much.

I think the Beemer looks great (as always )

The graphics are optional... not popular in the UK and are a FOC option, but in Germany buyers prefer them.

You should see the B3 in the black, it is awesome. I would prefer the Alpina version to the M3.

Wow, I think this is amazing!

Paint it black and it will look very evil

I am a huge fan of Brabus!
