Saw that a few months ago. Here's the list:

Audi R8
Range Rover
911
Cadillac ELR
Lambo Huracan
Aston Martin Vantage
MB S-Class Coupe
Ferrari 458
Alfa Romeo 4C
Jaguar F-Type Coupe

All Astons are good looking but I would have placed the Vanquish over the Vantage. R8s just don't do it for me. Big 911 guy but visually after 50 years of the same shape it's hard to put it in a top lookers list. 4C justs looks funny to me. A little too cute.

I own the F Type S Myself, But @ shift to say rhe Alfa Romeo 4C Looks funny or Too cte? Did you bump your head LOL!!! My Alfa Romeo 4C is due to arrive soon. Coming to Maserati in Maryland. One of the technicians from Maserati saw the 4C and told me its so absolutely breathtaking that I need to get ready for Everyone taking pictures of me in my car and videos. He said that it may be the most beautiful car he has ever seen.

Everyone that reviews it said its Amazing Stunning. The F Type is as well But... This Alfa Romeo 4C is So Unique and beautiful!!!

Cute is never a way to describe it.

Sex on wheels and a pure sports car











Thats One Mean Looking Car There Never Can Call that "A little too cute"

The front is certainly attractive....might be called 'sorta cute'.

But...dear lord....something very horrible happened to the rear.

Sorry!


Cheers

Congrats on the Alfa! Looks are subjective, obviously. To me, the 4C is like the Lotus Elise. Cool looking, definitely different. Will turn heads. But it's a car my GF might say, "oh, that's cute." Largely because it is a small car. But don't take offense, I had a Cayman a few years ago. I also consider it a "cute" car because its lines are soft and it's relatively small. Ironically, I've been eyeing some used Elises. Go figure!

Default nydailynews: allow me to point you to the nearest optometrist

Doug Alfa Romeo is back in a big way with the outrageous 4C sports car. nydailynews




You’re not going to confuse this Alfa with the Vette, or anything else on the road – except perhaps a Ferrari 458 Italia.




Styling and design are subjective but, in the case of the Alfa 4C, if you don’t think this car is a stunner, then please allow me to point you to the nearest optometrist.




Oh and so far as the Back Design Its Amazing!
Doug Since you do not have training in design and do not have a great eye for for it either, you are forgiven LOL

With all due respect Quinn - my wife drives a Lexus SC 430 as a second car. She loves it for the look and if you asked her how many cylinders it has 4, 8 or 1.5, she wouldn't have a clue. She likes it because it's "cute".

When she saw a picture of the of the 4c she said "I love this car. It's so cute, I might trade in my Lexus". She wouldn't have anything to do with a "mean" looking car.

Forgiven? Ha! As an innocent bystander exposed to such sin and horror (without a shred of fair warning) I think I deserve mercy. I have no choice now but to gouge my eyes out!

Save your forgiveness and extend it, if you can, to whoever penned that grotesque rear end ! It's nothing less than hideous and totally lets down the rest of the car !

Cheers

I applaud Alfa for taking design risks... Too many cars look too similar these days and they were willing to do something different.

That said, I have to agree that the car has some really weird proportions, especially at the rear. The over-musculated haunches make it look less feline and more like a giant squatting toad to me. Also the side profile has really low aspect ratio...makes the car seem as aerodynamic as a brick on wheels.
But yeah... IMHO since it's all subjective.

I would have included the pagani huayra in the list.

Yeah The only people who's opinions I rely on are people who are Incredible designers themselves. Professionally, With That Everyone of those people who are designers agree on one thing... The alfa Romeo 4C is WOW! Beautiful along with The WOW beautiful Jaguar F type.

OK, be honest now.....

How much is Alfa paying you to come onto a Jaguar hobbyist site and shill for them?
