Default OT: Most beautiful car being built today

I love my 993's, the most recent being a TT, but when I saw a Ferrari 458 in the flesh today I was blown away. It had the muscularity of a 427 Cobra with a kind of sexy delicateness that only the Italians seem to be able to achieve. So I'm wondering, among the other 993 lovers, nuts, whatever....what do you all think is the most beautiful car being made today.....and not necessarily one that you can afford.......Chris

For me the 458 and Lambo styling is over the top. I wouldn't turn either down but I prefer a more subtle look like the Aston Martin. I think the 991 has a bit of Aston Martin in it.

Saw a 991 in the flesh today. Really nice, inside and out. I'm not a bling bling flashy guy, so for me this was a nice piece of automotive design.

Gotta agree that I love the Astons for their classic elegance and beauty. 458 is too contrived (but I wouldn't thow it out of bed).

Even the Rapide is so much better looking than the bloated and nasty Panamera
