How... how did the unveiling of the Ecto-1 not make this list!?

I realize that the body kit, the dumbass graphic, and the park bench wing are all the epitome of late-nineties/early-aughts cheeseball kitsch - where flash was more important than function, we couldn't figure out the difference between NOS and NOS, and we were first introduced to 37-speed manuals - but I'll always…

Ah, well, more for you, than. I prefer cars that are more elegant cohesive in their design.

If only any 458 were as attractive as the precedent you cite.

He may stand in a minority on this, but he certainly doesn't stand alone. The 458 Italia is one of Pininfarina's worst.

Oddly, I think it's just slightly better-looking than the ugly as hell standard 458.

It's beautiful from the front fenders back; that face, though, just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the design.

Ask about this new 3-series fighter. The masses are curious. A small, sexy Jag sedan has immense appeal, and I'd like to subscribe to its newsletter.

I'm not sold on this Volvo concept. It's proportioned nicely, but I'm just not sure I think its particularly pretty. If anything, it seems like it can't decide whether or not it wants to be brick-jawed and aggressive or curvy and elegant.

It's small. It's lightweight. It's fast. It's AWD. It's surprisingly efficient.

How... how is that bridge still standing!?

It's not inelegant; and I'll be perfectly honest, Ian Callum is my man crush, so I'll probably be just fine with the design. But it's not looking as though it's going to do a whole hell of a lot for me beyond that. Having learned to drive in an SJ Jeep, I prefer my SUVs to be as utilitarian as possible, even if that…

Don't knock it 'till you try it.

To organize newsletters? Send out birthday/condolence cards? To make dash plaques?

I think that the combination of the blue flame from the exhaust and the generally dark sky in the background just does a whole lot to take away from the P1's usual "Here's my gigantic ass, mate with me" impression.

There's a reason why I don't belong to any clubs, organizations, etc. It's just too much drama, and people get so wrapped up in it all that consumes them in the entirety, as seems to have happened with the senior management of the VCA.

That lead pic may be the most flattering picture of the car's back end. Ever. As cool as the P1 is, every single time I see a picture of one from the rear, I am instantly (and not particularly pleasantly) reminded of a baboon's ass. That's just not the impression you want a car to give to anyone, ever.

I have mixed feelings about Volvo. I actually think much of their product is pretty good. I know, it's all FWD based and half of it is a little old. But they've always been good cars, and I've been a fan of several of them. The C30, for instance, while not the hit that it was hoped it might be, was actually a cool…

Smells like roses, doesn't it? It's the new cologne I've been wearing.
