Although beauty is on the eye of the beholder, I agree this car is one of the most beautiful designs I have seen. I only like Cayman design as much.

You do have to wash it and polish it every 10 seconds though That is the downfall of black paint. But I've always thought that when properly cared for nothing can beat the shine that a black care gives off.

I agree that silver and white inordinately hide the lines. And while black looks absolutely gorgeous when freshly polished and cared for, once it gets dirty, .

similar to the 370z with the fenders but the Z is bigger all around.


Rarity comes into play with looks too. I like the newest Mustangs and somewhat Camaros. But seeing them once a mile gets annoying and I would be pissed every average Joe can now get a 7 year stretch loan to drive one.


Miata has the squinty eye trend going for it but may not look great when that trend fades.

Please, everybody, let's stop the color arguments!

Because the best color is whiteout!

That sounds ridiculous, right?

But it is true!

Enough already?

That's quite the beauty you have there! But after a rainstorm, I bet it doesn't quite have the same luster. At least here in the desert that is Utah. We have some nasty, dirty rain that laughs at all the black cars.

You idiots, the best color is Ultramarine. Do ANY of you even reach down in the glove compartment and pull out your handbooks and read them? Clearly says it on the first page
