According to above C&D article, our beloved F-Type didn't even make the list.
Beaten out by Mazda 3, Volkswagen sedan, Volvo stationwagon...?

 

Wow! Now that is comical. I am not sure who comes up with these lists, but I have looked at a number of them in the past, and they typically make no sense at all....As in I have no idea what their criteria or rating methodology is??

List or no....Does not change how my ride looks

Thanks for sharing...

I'm not sure what criteria they are using but it's hit and miss. The most shocking revelation to me is that someone thought "Arteon" was a good name for a car.

 

Heavily influenced by advertising dollars. Many of these cars are arguably butt fugly. The AM hits the spot, but I've seen that styling somewhere before.

 

Good to see that the station wagon is coming back with that Volvo at #15. Hmm... maybe I should have kept the '67 Belair wagon.

 

Only what is truly new makes these lists.....and who spends the most on advertising as noted already. While our beloved FType has undergone some cosmetic changes it is not really “new”.

 

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder (beer holder?) they must have some blind people making lists ....

 

The only one on the list that I really take issue with is the Taycan, which for some reason reminds me of the Hypnotoad. Other than that, the Q60 is fine, I guess, but definitely not "top 15" good. It's just a sad reminder of Infiniti's rapid fade into obscurity over the last 10 years. The G35/G37 used to be everywhere but I don't know that I've ever seen a Q60 on the road.

Listicles (and in particular those like this where everything is on a separate page) are just means to get mindless clicks anyway, so some level of controversy is helpful in bringing in traffic. They got 15 pageviews from each of us!

 

The Giulia is most definitely not new...just as long in the tooth as the F-Type at this point, and it's looks have gotten notably more dated than the F-Type has, IMO. A marque shouldn't reboot an objectively beautiful design just because a design trend has changed. It's a shame. I suppose they'd get just as much heat if they were honest though, because the same handful of cars would win every year. Timelessly beautiful designs are very few and far between.

 

Guess what, there are probably 100 other forums blowing up talking about how their car is better looking - it is subjective and just like when you buy a car, you see it in another color and think "maybe I should have...."
or you see another car and think that you should have considered it too. I like what I have and I don't get too worked up over anything else. I have had plenty of people in high end cars tell me they love the f-type - some of those folks are also wondering why their car isn't on that list. Same with houses, I think mine is pretty cool and there are plenty of people who might be impressed but there are also others that would laugh and say that no civilized person could live in a ****-box like mine with less than 3 kitchens and 9 bathrooms. Its all relative....
