Poll: Best Looking New Car Sold in USA
-
After going through months and months of everyone's input regarding the ugliest car of all time, I thought it might be a nice positive change of pace to open a discussion on what the BEST looking car might be. In the interest of keeping the field narrowed down (otherwise we will wind up with as many different cars as people who post), I will limit this poll to ONLY NEW CARS that are sold in the United States. I am defining "new" as 2006 models and up to the present. They can be domestic or foreign.
As far as my votes are concerned, my preferences lean toward the more successful of the "retrocars" that are out there right now. Tied for first place, IMHO, are the latest Ford Mustang and the new Chrysler 300 Hemi C. Runner-up would be the 300-based Dodge Charger and Charger R/T.
It seems like Chrysler led the retro parade with the PT Cruiser (also not a bad-looking vehicle) and just keeps on doing it right. Between the remaining members of the big Three, only Ford seems to have answered the call to duty adequately with the new retro-Mustang and Mustang GT, and the retro Thunderbird would be right up there if not for the fact that one can actually get an original 55-56-57 'Bird driver in fairly decent shape for less money.
General Motors seems to have played the "follow-the-leader" role too much to be taken seriously with the Chevrolet SSR. The Chevy HHR (I think that's what it's called) is starting to enjoy moderate success, but has nowhere near the popularity of its rivals--at least in my little corner of the U.S."Problems are merely opportunities in workclothes." -Henry J.

Put me down for a new Pontiac Solstice 2 seater.

Hi, Put me down for something more pratical than a 2 seater(nice as the Solstice is), I'm going with the 2008 Chrysler mini vans to use as the dog hauler, and the 2008 Super-Duty's to pull my fifth-wheel. Steve

The Solstice is sweeet! I like the Chrysler 300, Jeep Commander, Mustang GT, and the Mini Cooper."The time has come", the Walrus said, "to speak of many things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. And why the sea is boiling hot,

i cast my vote for the new mustangs. but on that note i love the body style but the interior to me is hiddeous. i think that the propossed body of the new cameros isn't all that. now if gm had decided to do a retro style front end with the retro body camero then i would put it down as a down right georgous vehicle with the mustang. i think that ford motor corp. should have done the same thing with the cougar that they did with the mustang and the t-birds, cause as a ford enthusiast i really love the 60's style cougar.
