sorry... The 350Z Roadster is the best looking car, ever.

The ONLY one I liked out of that line up was this oneDITTOS...I would like to see it in a two door wagon ala 55 to 57 Nomad...

More on the new Kia here:
http://www.kia.com/041703.shtml But watch out for poor resale value, overweight, and poor mileage on all these Korean cars. I figure that they are still 10 years behind, but closing very fast.

The Saab convertible kept the lines that I like. The new Kia very slightly resembles a Town Car, and the new Z has a couple of the old Z lines, especially on the interior. Most everything else looks like crap to me, especially the boxy molded-plastic SUV's. And it looks like BMW screwed up their classic form in the new Z4.

At least Nissans are made (mostly) in the USA, instead of Canada, like many "US cars".

The Honda Element SUV is butt ugly. No, it's worse -- it is Helen Thomas ugly.

Hey, someone actually married Mandy Grunwald and Hillary Clinton, so I guess there was hope for the Element.

I'm glad to see they're making interesting cars again. Go ahead and risk being ugly, just do something that doesn't look like every other car on the road.
I actually sort of like most of these, particularly the Chrysler 300C.
The Scion XB however is the ugliest car ever. Nobody is going to drive that. It looks like something a five-year old would draw.

The 1969 Hurst/Olds the gentlman's musclecar. When the car makers can make he-man power cars again THEN their design will matter. (the mustang picture seems to be a step in the right direction)

I just wish my '69 Plymouth was back in one piece.

I hear its made in Ohio, in America. And what it lacks for in external grace, inside its rugged and spartan just like an SUV should be. And Honda quality is hard to beat.

I love concept cars - some are always sweet, others are always hideously ugly....
