sorry, the RX 7 is a beautiful car and maybe should be up there, but the Supra and C5 i totally disagree with. the Supra is a crude design, a comic book car.. the C5 is a good looking car but an uglified version of a traditional ferrari, say the F355.... F355vs C5? The 'vette has no chance

i think you are confusing sexy with beatiful. to me sexy means not just beautiful, they have to give off an image, have something about them to be sexy, not just be beautiful. and in that respect i think that list is pretty good.

Im an Integrale nut, so trust me i distinguish between beautiful & sexy

To me, you cant go via the ferrari route and come out with a butch looking car like the C5. It doesnt look lithe from any angle, which is what i think "that" look is all about; thats why i dont find it sexy

other cars i would have liked to see in there:

Maserati Merak: beautiful, beautiful car. no other way to describe it
DeTomaso Pantera: drop-dead gorgeous, we're talking first design here
Lancia Montecarlo: so pretty, very feminine shape
Porsche 993: best looking 911 model ever
Cizeta Moroder V16: something about it....
Ferrari 250LM?
Porsche 993: best looking 911 model ever
Agreed

My god that is a beautiful car. And those alloys... there have been other 18' alloys on other supercars but none of them manage to look so "fat".... this car makes the new (996) Turbo look like sh*t....

i guess they didnt include it in the list cos the 993GT2 is in there... i'd have both

I just love Porche because they are different than anything out there. There shape and styling is recognizable and beautiful. That is a big reason why Porche has sold well and will be selling well far into the future.

Absolutely. The classic shape and awesome driving experience are the reason the company has such a huge following. Porsche's great product line is the reason it is doing very well, it was the most profitable car company in the world last year and will probably repeat that feat this year too
