Any list that doesn't have that car is of no use to me. Especially one who puts a Veyron in there as well.

After seeing this picture I agree, it does deserve to be on the list. It's unfortunate that the car is French and more than likely FWD though.

Re: Best current production car design is…

When we make a worse production car design list a lot of French cars will be there including Renault Megane and Scenic, Citroen C2,C3 and C6 and Peugeot 1007, and 407.

Haha...no.

I love the design of French cars. From the yesteryears of Delages and Bugatti's (although that can be disputed) and the glorious designs from Peugeot and Citroen from the 50's and 60's to the current situation, with Citroen regaining their flair with the C4 and the C6 and Peugeot back to it's controversial, yet no less breathtaking 406 and 407 model range to Renault, with it's very outspoken designs, such as the gobsmacking Megane, they've got it covered.

Sure, they're not all too good to drive - but we're talking about design. And the French are on the ball in this department, and always have been.

Need we have to mention the disgustingly ugly cars that Germany have come up with?

Re: Best current production car design is…

I wouldn't agree with that list, firstly the Veyron IMO isn't a well designed car at all! Also the Elise looks OK but nothing more!

Re: Best current production car design is…

The Vantage deserves it. The car looks brilliant in every RL photo of it that I have seen.
