RX8-79

Based on looks alone, which would you pick as best looking?

I would have chosen the Audi, but the new family grill looks terrible. M45 for me.

DreRX8

M45 all the way. A6 grill isn't doing it for me, I don't like the looks of the STS or GS, and the RL is too bland for $50K.

I don't know where the hell I have been, I didn't know they were making a new GS. I like the old one and I like this one too. Hopefully it's coming with a strong engine.

RX8-79

Carryover engines, to start. The GS300 gets the 245 hp engine, but supposedly the new 280 hp, 3.5L will be available next year. The 430 keeps the 300hp V8, but it's rumored to get the larger V8 when it debuts on the next gen LS.

I kinda like the infiniti, but not the rims on it. I like the acura RL, but that is a bad shot of it. The Lexus just looks a little too smooth, and I hate all the new audi's, that hugeass grill has to go

I like the new Audi and it would probably be my choice to drive. But that STS looks very sharp in person. It has great character lines and flanks, looking machined out of a single billet of aluminum. Very nice design IMHO, and I like where Cadillac is headed.

The Acura RL is simply ahead of it's time...and it's a sexy piece of machinery. Gotta love SH-AWD.

don't let that marketing get to you Aoshi. I can call myself Super Handling John Paradise but deep down I am still just John Paradise. The RL is a good car and a great improvement.

what do you all think about this lexus move to make all of their cars looked like their nose is all smushed down? It looks like they all are going for the same really sloped, rolled over front.

BlueEyes

haha, that was good.
As for Lexus, I like their new designs. Their better than most company's new designs. I could live with a v8 powered GS

m45 is pretty slick

I can't stand the grill on the Audi's

truemagellen

damn! they are ALL ugly

truemagellen

bring me back to the S's amazing Miller Cycle Engine although where was a Manual Tranny for the thing

Acura I guess, based on that one shot. Not crazy about any of them.

Without the badges, I'd be hard pressed to identify any of them other than the Audi (based largely on its Chrysler 300 grill.) Unfortunately, the combination of (a) wind tunnel testing; (b) corporate mergers; and (c) timid styling has turned most cars into clones of one another. The RX-8 is a happy exception to the rule.
