I didn't realize Yahoo now runs a geocities themed website. Seriously that has to be the worst formatted page I've seen in a decade.

Odd that they also link to this story of nearly the same name but it has a different list of cars. F-Type still #1.

Try the original, much better formatting: The most beautiful cars on sale today - Business Insider

Even better, one page: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-m...ay-2015-3?op=1

I honestly can't see how the F-Type came in FIRST. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the car and I think it's drop dead gorgeous, but some of those other cars are IMO a class above the F-Type. (And a few 100 grand more too!)

It's all in the eye of the beholder(s). I'm certain a Jury of several people was assembled to make this call. I for one was looking for the most attractive car in my eyes. The Vantage and F-Type were close, but the price swayed the decision. The Corvette could be had for far less money, but I wouldn't consider it at any price. For several reasons, I find it quite unattractive. However, I accept the fact it is very appealing to some.

A class above in performance, name, status sure, but looks have nothing to do with any of that and I feel you're factoring in the car as a whole into it rather than the looks.

I firmly believe that the F type is the best looking car and the best sounding car I've ever experienced. But it's not the "best" at anything else which brings it back down to earth for the general population.

I love my F-Type but I would have opted for the Aston Martin which I think is the best looking car out there today if they had updated their interiors. It feels at least 5-8 years old.

On the other hand, not sure how Pagani made it into the list of "beautiful" cars. It looks more purposeful and functional than "attractive design".

I heartily endorse their number 1 choice but not a fan of many of their other choices.

I don't think the Jag interior has much on the Aston. To me it was the power train. The Vantage V8 doesn't have enough power and the auto box is outdated.

We're talking exterior beauty here. Wrapping everything up as a package, everybody on this forum chose the F-Type as number one.

Yes, but I don't think a LaFerrari was an option for most here either.
