Current car styles, wow, just look at em!

I honestly believe we are in a truly iconic time for the car enthusiast. Power is at all time highs, handling and breaking are at never heard of levels, and they even get decent fuel mileage! What I am pondering though is the style of todays cars. I think we are easily seeing some of the best designs since the 60s. Of course the Camaro, Mustang, and CHallenger are all fantastic, but there is so much more! Starting with the Domestics and I may catch some flack for this, but look at the 300C. Yes it is getting on in age, but that kind of style in an affordable family sedan is just something you don't see that often/ The short lived Pontiac Solstice coupe, there was just something about. A taght 2 seater with a Targa top with a relatively flowing design. I may catch real flack for this, but IMHO the current BMW M3 and 6 series are prety striking, especially the M6. I relaly love that car, when I see one going down the road I can't stop staring and pictures do not do it justice! Same with the Audi S5. The curves just flow so well! Where the ponies are edgy and in your face aggressive, the germans are flowing and mean in an elegant sort of way. IMHO these are cars people will be oogling at 25 years from now as much as we do a 69 Charger or Camaro or Boss Mustang today. Anyone have any other cars that may endear?

Like it or not, this thing turns heads everywhere it goes.

There are a number of good looking cars now, but there are plenty of others that are just beans with a badge.

I'm not a fan of the pointy headlights that wrap back around the fenders. Seems to be that more and more cars are being designed this way.

True, but you have to admit it is nowhere as bad as the 90s jellybean years.

Saw a CTS-Coupe with GM stickers on the doors the other day. Wanted to follow it but had other things to do.
