Prettiest cars ever

Japanese are up there tho


And they don't break

 

That is a pretty Cosmo...

 

Some French cars are beautiful:
(I took this pic)Citroen SM
Peugeot 306GTi-6
Renault 5 Renault 5 GT Turbo
I love these.

 

Debatable.

Most japanese manufacturers were still fairly "green" back then. Styling was often attractive but fairly derivative - think of the early Celicas nicknamed "the japanese Mustangs" - and reliability not yet up to the standards we came to know with their cars from the '80s onward.

 

And the Germans too.

 

lol

 

Here's another pair which I find pretty.

1948 Delahaye 135 M Figoni et Falaschi Cabriolet

1950 Lago-Talbot T26C

 

Fiat 124

Opel/Vauxhall Calibra

Moneverdi 375 series

Peugeot 405

Nissan 180/200/240sx

 

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery


As for reliability, take a Datsun 510 and an Alfa Alfasud on a road trip. Let's see which one breaks first

 

Take a Datsun Cherry Milano and an Alfa Romeo Arna and... Oh, wait.

 

Those were wonderful cars indeed. It's sad that those brands went defunct, but a lot of French brand went defunct right after WW2.

 

Yep, high taxes and high prices of coachwork postwar (and the overspending of money on an unsuccessful racing team in Lago-Talbot's case) meant that French luxury car brands were doomed to fail.

 

Probabaly common on this thread but...

Alfa Romeo 159 (Top spec )
Alfa Romeo Guilia (latest)

Italian flare and passion in an every day family car

 

IMO the Koreans built more prettier cars than the Japanese.
At least in the recent years.

 

This is going to get sooooo much hate just because it's electric and because it's different.
