    New cars that look tremendous.

    Obviously, a much shallower pool of potential here. However, I have to say that I really like the new Mondeo.



    It's got a touch of Aston Martin Vantage and the new - uglier - Mustang about the headlights and grill - which it shares, to a lesser or greater extent with the rest of the range. The lines are simple and it isn't overly-designed. Even the rear is nice.

    Making sure that this isn't a nil thread myself but somewhat reinforcing that cars today look all the same, just seen one of these outside.

      I tend to be similarly underwhelmed by the homogenous nature of modern cars, but your second post reminded me that lately, I have mostly been admiring the Mazda 6 "Wagon" (estate, to the rest of us). Good from most angles:

        That is, of course, silly. Cars of any era bear a resemblance to one another by sheer dint of design trends. But today's cars no more look like each other than those in the '20s, '50s, or '70s did. Design distinctions tend to take time to emerge through repeat viewings and future change. One can't fully assess design unless compared to things that came before it and come after it.

        I agree, the Mondeo (Fusion here) is just fucking lovely. I never tire of that car. I'm not fussed about any of Mazda's designs.

            I was going to go with "Partridgesque" but that works so much better.

              A better comparison. So far, the thread consists of four-door sedans and estates. Woohoo.

                  Good design in an affordable package. And, a rare example of a refresh that looks better all around than the first-generation.

                    WOM's shirts are pure Top Gear fodder an all.

                      Can't hear you.

                      Anyway, I wouldn't buy one of these (too big), but they're nice to look at. The new Chevrolet Impala.

                        The Subaru brz / Scion FRS duo are quite nice midlife crisis cars.

                          A perfect fit for a midlife crisis thread.

                          Off to find a Star Trek thread to hang around on.

                            And for wool-hatted football hooligan boy racers *cough*, the Nismo edition of The Juke.

                              I used to have a Fiat Panda. Boy race THAT. (You literally couldn't. I could get it up to 83 mph on the A1 but I needed a long run at it. About 15 miles or so)

                                A flatmate of mine used to have some kind of super powered Fiat Panda hot hatch (this was the '90s). I don't remember how fast it went but it felt far too fast to be travelling inside something that otherwise had the sturdiness and build quality of a disposable barbecue.

                                  I've been in one of those. Scary things.

                                  A mate of mine had a Renault 5 GT Turbo. Now that was a cool car.

                                    I'd quite like a Citroen 2CV. Boss, them.

                                              I'd drive a Golf any day of the week. They've ruined the Jetta by Corollafying it for the US market. Bring back Trek and K2 editions, too.

                                                I like Berlingos.

                                                Just do. Not even going to post a picture.

                                                  You should see the state of his longboards. The Boris Karloffs of four-wheeled transportation.

                                                  Although I really don't care for cars at all, quite like the rear-door handle on the Mini Clubman.
