I am of the opinion that, for the most part, modern car design has gone down the fucking shitter. Everything either looks the same, or looks completely ridiculous (pic is a great example of this).
What do you guys think are the best looking cars made in the last five or ten years? I know there are still good designers out there. Lets see em.
Josiah Reed
Mercedes W204 is a good example, it's an excellent progression from W203. Modern look yet timeless body lines.
Instread of building upon it, they went full retard like Toyota and Lexus with the new pig-fat melting design of CLA and W205.
Fuck everything.
Anthony Allen
You know, I'm not much of a Mercedes guy, but you're right, that W204 looks great. I think it'll age really well. I would come in and say the BMW E39, but that's a little too old, and honestly, I think that W204 has a more detailed design.
But yeah dude, there's some serious garbage out there right now. It's sooooo bad.
Thomas Ramirez
Toyota went to complete shit design wise. They used to be "ok", but now they are just trash tier.
I only like Mazda's design atm, Fords arent bad aswell, rest is pretty crappy.
Lincoln Allen
True that. Toyota is pretty much garbage atm.
Man, I think the ND Miata looks so great, but I was so mad when they had to go with the angry headlights. WHYYY? It would've been beautiful all around if the headlights were subdued.
I have to say though, the interior in that car is fucking amazing. I test drove one a while ago, and dare I say, it was nicer than a lot of BMWs interiors.
James Taylor
I really like what Honda is doing at the moment. Lovable tail lights, sides look good and the front is really nice, too. Looking forward to this future shitbox.
Christopher Morales
Looks like a modern art masterpiece to me
Gavin Butler
>Looks so extremely overstyled it can give you cancer >Loveable How do I know you are 16?
Anthony Harris
Fuck, what is that?
Jaxon Smith
MORE LINES AND CREASES MAKE IT LOOK FUTURISTIC
Jace Barnes
name is literally in the filename you cuck
Caleb Roberts
I'm actually digging the Mirai. It definately looks unique, if they toned down the bottom grill on the front just a little bit it would actually look nice. No idea why they also want their lower end models to look like this though, they just look half-assed and bad.
Nolan Hughes
A hydrogen cell powered car from Toyota.
Wyatt Foster
whoops, my bad. don't use Veeky Forums very often lol
Dominic Martinez
Fucking Toyota. I always thought Avalon is a good look underrated car. Granted not my cup of tea but it's very refined and dignified. Then they gave it a fucking REEEEEE angry face for 2016. What the fuck?
Justin Wilson
THINGS ARE BARELY BETTER THAN THE 90S THE ONLY WAY I KNOW I AM IN THE FUTURE IS THE STYLING I NEED THE STYLING
Cooper Hall

Oliver Thomas
hahaha, Yup, that's what happens.
I never really paid attention to the Avalon, but you make a really good point.
Julian Anderson
It is a hydrogen hybrid. The idea being the hybrid system makes up for the lower energy density of hydrogen. It actually isn't a terrible idea.
Still, it will probably break or run out of fuel right before you get to your destination.
Dylan Turner
Wow, had no idea that thing even existed. I'm interested to read more about that hybrid system.
Samuel Adams
who fucking cares, theyre cars, appliances. You're a moron if you need it to be aesthetic. You're probably ugly and need to compensate on other things to ease your insecure ass
Cameron Hall
I think the Kia Optima looks pretty good. Car might be shit but at least it looks good.
Caleb Perry
>best looking car made in the last 40 years >you know you would buy one just so bitches can see you in it
Tyler Stewart
>I don't give a fuck about cars Why are you on Veeky Forums? Go back to whatever shitty board you crawled out of.
Jordan Butler
Got a nice ass too.
Alexander Wilson
It's not even a shit car
Cooper Adams
who fucking cares. There are retards here who buy fucking ugly miatas and really no one cares. Theyre appliances, deal with it you fucking nigger
Noah King
>enjoys good design >automatically ugly
Yup, logic checks out.
Chase Myers
its kia so its automatically shit
Tyler Morales
Yeah I've never owned or driven one. Just guessing based on my experiences with early 2000s Kia's.
Joseph Hernandez
Damn, that thing does look pretty good. I was always impressed with the Optima.
Nathan Hernandez
Fuck off double nigger, go back to your shitty board.
Chase Watson
The only bummer part is that the rear end looks exactly the same as the Sonata, and the new Audi A4... and probably a lot of others.
Henry Smith
did I hit a nerve? Post picture of yourself and prove it wrong then? Until then, you're ugly and has no right to complain about aesthetics
Mason Sanders
Have you ever sat inside one or test driven one? There's cheap hallow plastic everywhere. Fit and finish are also all over the place. It absolutely does not have the interior or drive train to back up the solid look. I'm not saying they're complete shit but they have a long long way to go before they're considered competitive.
Tyler Scott
I will leave that up to your imagination my friend.
Carson Morris
stop whining with this 1st world problems. We already have niggers and spics all over the place and all you care about is how cars look?
Logan Sanders
No I care about how you look, unless you are aesthetic, you are an appliance.
Opinions aren't for appliances.
Oliver Mitchell
shut up ugly, you dont have an opinion
Josiah Mitchell
Prove to me that you are aesthetic enough to have that opinion, post a picture of yourself.
Kayden Smith
im not the one who is judging cars because of looks. You're the one who needs to prove anything ugly
Lincoln Bennett
>my smile is gone for good
Jason Jenkins
I think you may be on the wring board, my friend. /b/ is over there.
Levi Cruz

Kevin Rivera
I am in love with mine.
Camden Wilson
The amount of bad taste in this thread amazing even for Veeky Forums standards.
Hudson Howard
I bet car designers would agree with you too. However they have been greatly hobbled by safety regulations of all sorts, to the point where all they can really build are boxes on wheels.
And something happened to the customer base too, past 2000 they've been going along with the trend, demanding more and more boxes on wheels, the only really differentiation being how big of a box on wheels they're buying.
It's whatever romantic light people had in their souls went out post 2000 and people have given up and are just going through the motions. It's only people in odd corners (like here) where people want more, want something that looks inspired and fuck the regulations, give me something that goes fast and looks good.
Wyatt Roberts
>alfas >good looking >ever
Camden Murphy
To be fair though, I like Lexus's new designs in person and a lot of my friends do as well. And no, I'm not Asian either.
Colton Jackson

Robert Gutierrez
agreed they fucked it up even faster, with w204 angry facelift
Christian Taylor
I'm almost afraid to ask, but is this the new A5?
Cooper Perez
> >>alfas >>good looking >>ever pretty much this they look unique to me, but uniquely bad even renaults and peugeots have better designs >>mfw sandniggers design shitty little cars that are more aesthetic than pastaniggers' designs
Blake Wood
Nevermind, the filename says A7. Fuck
Bentley Price
The forester.
John Cox
This looks really outstanding. Although the interior isn't that great.
Thomas Bailey
...
Grayson Collins
I actually kinda like the 2nd gen Aygo.
Pls don't hurt me
Julian Martin
I don't often think cars look awful, but that looks awful.
I rather have an aztek
Sebastian Young

It's only people in odd corners (like here) where people want more, want something that looks inspired and fuck the regulations, give me something that goes fast and looks good. Living in this modern world is suffering. It's like everybody gave up and is just looking to entertain themselves a bit before they perish. Nobody believes in humanity anymore, least of all our art.
Tyler Garcia
I actually like the styling of the latest Maxima
Nathan Cox
The body lines, profile and rear is damn good looking. It's just the fucking HUEUEUEUE face that ruins it.
James Rivera
Also when DRL is on it looks like the car is crossed eye, it's so fucking retarded looking and unintentionally hilarious.
Josiah James
What the fuck
Benjamin Torres
?
Daniel Jones
The brand new one is actually pretty good. Looks the same as the previous generation, but it's waaaaay better to drive. They finally got the suspension right.
Henry Reyes
>Toyota Kek
Caleb Harris
Skoda Superb
Looks better than the new A4
Gabriel Russell
>nah I don't drive a car. I drive an appliance.
gtfo fagboi
Oliver King
Too bad the production car will never look like that.
These will probably change: >Wheel design >Side mirrors >headlights >minor front grill change
Can't avoid these small changes.
David Phillips
Most cars look either pigfat, or like fucking eggs (mostly those low displacement - small ones).
Anyway, while i think BMW's and Mercs after the 80's went shit design-wise i believe the 4-series looks great. The Mercedes-Benz C-class and SL look good too (although the C-class should have been a bit "slimmer"). The Alfa Romeo Giulia and 4c look amazing, really looking forward to a new coupe by Alfa. Other ones that i like are the Mazda 6, Honda Accord, Skoda Suberb, all Maseratis and most of the high-end sports cars are still good.

>Skoda Made in Czechoslovakia, the trash can on the former Soviet states.
Josiah Taylor
You are retarded. There is no Czechoslovakia anymore, they are 2 different countries. Also Skodas are VW owned, they use VW engines and basically offer exactly what VW offers for less money. They are pretty great on the EU market.
Ryan Johnson
Man, I have no clue what the fuck Toyota and Lexus are doing with their new designs.
Especially Lexus. They all have aggressive fronts now, like...no.
Even my old, asian mom is triggered by this trend.
Jaxson Harris
Chinese market.
People are dumb as fuck in China and only recognize a car by the shape of its grill. That is why Lexus and frankly all Japanese cars have gone full overtard with their styling.
Asher Morris
This new Prius is weird. It doesn't match the current Toyota design language at all, and it somehow manages to look dated already. It must be because of the soft creases.
Colton Johnson
I find the new GT350R's incredibly beautiful.
Cameron Carter
They've also changed the 3 point star grill at the front grill into one big round sticker. Disappointing.
Matthew Williams
is that fucking civic matte white? You can fuck right the fuck off
Adrian Gutierrez
mah nigga
Josiah Lee
i hate angryface biggrill but the newer lincolns arent too bad
Joshua Allen
Agreed. Eager to see what the GT500s are going to look like come 2018.
Evan Hernandez
Call it slow, But I think its looks pretty damn good compared to the other stuff coming out of japan right now
Alexander Bailey
The Noble M600 is really a nice car to look at, since it isn't trying to hard to be edgy (Lambo) or a bit dull (Ferrari, Maserati)
Evan Anderson
A camera is hidden there. It's actually kind of smartly done as most look like pic related.
Also, the camera is optional, or atleast was. I've seen new e-class (facelifted W212) taxis with the hollow badge. I don't know if that applies to all models though.
Oliver Reyes
...
Cameron Hill
close enough
Andrew Howard
The appearance bits on the GT350R do a really nice job of rounding out the car's aggressive look.
Honestly, though, I think the s550 is really well-done to begin with. People tend to focus on the angry/squinty front end, but I think larger headlights would have looked dated at this point. They also made the right compromises in toning down Ford's design language to preserve the overall look of the car. (Compare this to, say, the current iteration of the Camaro...)
Plus the car's profile is much improved, in my opinion. flattening the hood line was long overdue, and that sloping tail end is sexy as fuck.
Don't forget the optional and incredibly tacky "Illuminated star" badge that every rich chink and new-money douchebag will happily pay extra for!
