I really like the look of the new BMW 6 series. The 6 series has always had stunning looks I think.

I have to admit you're right there, they are one of the most stunning looking cars
Ive seen in a while.. havent heard any reviews about them yet, but Im sure they
will be well checked out in the coming months..

Now, that €5million lotto win this week would do nicely and allow me treat myself
one of these little babies..

Couldn't agree more with the 6-series. Beautiful

Agreed on the 6 Series, though I'd still take that DB-9 ahead of it any day. Absolutely beautiful.

Wow! I don't know when I've had so many people agree with me about something before!

I first saw one on an autopista in Spain back in November. I saw it coming in the rear view mirror and guessed what it was before I saw the rear of it. It wafted by gracefully at about 140kph. It was a 640 in silver. It really looked fantastic.

I think that the McLaren Mercedes is worth a mention as well. Top Gear didn't really like it cos of its brakes and a slightly tacky interior, but the sound of that V12 when they were driving and the overall, slightly outrageous looks make it stand out a mile.

This years R1 from Yamaha has to be my motor of the year. Beats the pants of most other things out there.

If I had to choose 4 wheels then the McLaren/Mercedes SLR.

Lamborghini Gallardo is very fine. I spotted an SLR while in Paris recently and it is just amazing to look at. Love the DB9 too. Not gone on the 6 series though.

Great choices lads. Yeah, the Ford GT is awesome. The RX8 (and RX7 before it) proves that the only replacement for displacement is technology.

Talking about batmobile looks, check out the TVR Sagaris! I think this car manages to be good looking and ugly at the same time.

Nissan Mi crap?????
What on earth is nice / good / positive about this car?
Fair enough it is different & original but that doesn't detract from the fact that it is horrible.

It wishes you a happy birthday, if that's not nice, what is?
Apart from the others mentioned above, I like the latest Merc. E55, hopefully when this posts comes around next year I'll be voting for the Aston Martin AMV8, or did Top Gear say it wouldn't be launched until 2005?

(I can't say I like the new BMW 6)

Zzzzzzz

I'm not too keen on the DB9, it seems too similar to the Vanquish and DB7 before that to be honest.
