Jaguar XJ made Car and Driver's top 15 Most Beautiful car for 2019, but F-Type didn't...?

Pushed of the list by the achingly beautiful Kia Stinger.


Lol, I appreciate that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but really aside from the Aston I wouldnt call any of those cars beautiful, some of them arent even attractive or impressive.

 

F-type is on the list, well... AM clone of it.

Also new MX-5? It is fugly. Previous generation was much better looking Miata.

 

What a weird list...

 

It is quite right that the F-Type does not appear on THAT list. I’d be doubting my own aesthetic sense if it were.

 

This list is suspect.

 

A Rolls Wraith made it?

 

Many of those cars are dramatic, but in an ugly way IMO.

 

Anything looks beautiful if you keep your eyes shut. Or have appalling taste.

 

Not gonna lie.... i have been really, REALLY impressed with Kia's rise in the design and feature category. They've become very impressive, in my opinion.

 

Cheers, they are biggish news over here (especially the Stinger) but I tend to think the Stinger is a very odd design at the back, not attractive at all. The front looks pretty good, though.

The Stinger was thought to be the next big thing in large sedans over here with the death of local production, but ultimately they have sold in limited quantities which is pretty typical of sedans generally. Personally I prefer the newer Genesis sedans which are more european looking.

 

And this is why there are so many cars of so many shapes, etc. My husband has one of the first Stinger GT2s (he had gone to the dealer to talk about them, but wanted the red that was (don't know about now) only available on the GT2. As he was getting ready to leave the truck came in with one so he bought it as it was coming off the truck). He was torn between it and the Alfa Giulia, but he and I both remember Alfa pulling out of the US back in the day, plus if he's in the middle of nowhere with a problem, he's more likely to find someone who can work on a Kia than an Alfa.

When we go out in it we get stopped constantly for people to ask what it is (most guess a BMW actually). His car gets almost as many looks, smiles and thumbs up as my car. At least that's been my experience when I'm in it either with him or driving. I'm not a big 4-door sedan person, but I think it's a good looking car. Also, I think the color of the car makes a difference (as with many other makes and models). And it's quite the sleeper since it's much quieter than mine (both exhaust and because it isn't a convertible) so it's so very easy to get going faster than you realize. His first super speeder ticket while driving it can attest to that as well.

Although I have to agree that most of the cars on that list are far from my top 15 of anything.

 

Yeah, list is very suspect. Most are just OK, the Giulia, Chiron, MX-5 and RR are ugly cars IMO. the Lexus is pretty enough but I can't get over the grill. The only ones on the list I find actually attractive are the DBS, i8 (though a bit dated) and 911
