We have capitalism to thank for this...

Beautiful. Not realistic, though: it does not have a middle-aged balding man sitting in it:-P

The write up in the linked show said the Alfa Romeo car had "plenty of retro 1960s styling cues." I think I would go back a little farther.

The Edsel is back reworked for C21!

Or is it a Kaiser?

My favorite was the Aston Martin DB5. I guess I've seen too many Bond flicks. (I bought the entire set.)

Oh, it's nothing... This is where it's at.

Now that's a vehicle.

This is the business.

You're all wrong, as usual.

McLaren F1.

Ian, that is certainly an awesome set of wheels.

The FXX (and the Enzo it's derived from) is a helluva motor, but it's not exactly pretty, is it? The current crop of Maseratis (MC12 excepted) are extraordinarily handsome, though.

But that Alfa 8c has to be the best at the moment. Who'd have thought anything could better the Brera? I like the look of Jaguar's C-XF, too. Definitely a step in the right direction.

All-time, Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato. Or the Lamborghini Miura. Or various pre-war Delages, Delahayes and Duesenbergs...

Matt's right: ain't capitalism great?

Pshaw. Dino Ferrari 246GT.

The present state of the art for car design can be characterized as ugly smashed egg shapes with vulgar depressions. Glad to see the Italians beginning to break out of that mold and get back to something that can realistically be described as beautiful.
