I actually agree with almost every car on their list, then there is the CTS? Anybody explain that one to me? The next size up Caddy, I can't remember the name, is a much better looking car the CTS is too small to pull off the chisseled look and there are too many lines for the size of the car. just my 2 cents of course.

Ans wooo hoo to a blow out win for the MINI!

I agreed with all of them except the Prius and the FX45. The Prius could have looked pretty good with a better profile...too slab sided and the wheels look way too small. The FX45 is just STRANGE looking. The new (hopefully coming soon) Dodge Challenger and the new Mustang would replace those two for me. If we're limited to production cars, let the E46 M3 replace the Challenger...

I don't get the Prius being there at all. I mean they were early getting into the hybrid market & kudos to them for that but I thought this was an excellence in "design" list. The Prius is hideous

im sorry i can not take that list seriously at all. the mini is of course a great design and deserves to be up there, but the fact the Audi TT isnt on there (ill excuse other cars that should be up there that are classics as this seems to be looking toward newer modern cars) makes this list hard to digest. frankly i think the TT really deserves spot 1, it really is one of the best designs to come to production. even if you dont agree with the fact that the TT deserves spot 1, i think the majority will agree it at least deserves to be on that list

i dont like the TT, but at least i can tell it is a well executed car...

personally, top ten best designed cars would be
1) MINI (of course!)
2) Porsche Cayman & Aston DB9
3) Pagani Zonda F
4) Lotus Elise
5) Lexus IS 350
6) Mazda Miata & Audi TT
7) Nissan 350Z
8) Porsche 997
