A truly beautiful car is one that looks nice from every angle and every color. There are some cars that are nice looking but when looked at from a different angle their beauty begins to fade (and it looks like a different car). As far as color is concerned, let me give you an example. I can say that the BMW X5 is a nice looking vehicle. Then Friday night I saw a white X5 V8 4.4 from behind... YUCK! It did not look like a $55K car and looked totally different instead..... The IS300 is an exeption I think. I've seen it in every color and from every angle and it was still beautiful to me. So that would be "TRUE BEAUTY" in my Book and its defining lines works to its advantage.. The BMW 3 series is not a bad looking car but only from certain angles. It looks nice in Silver but every other BMW is Silver......Then comes the CL-s... as far as color, it only looks nice "TO ME" only in Black. As far as angle is concerned, it looks eye watering from just about every angle...

In my opinion, another test of beauty is whether or not the car's design withstands the test of time. For example, the NSX still looks good today even though the design is now 10 years old. It also looks good in every color and from all angles.

To be totally honest, the reason why I didn't mention my E55 as being amongst the most beautiful is because I don't consider it to be.....I don't like the headlights. Ever since the E-class came out I didn't like the headlights and I thought it would grow on me, but it didn't.... I love everything else about my E55 though and that's why I bought it

I thought the 1999 E-class was a beautiful car, but I don't like the subtle front end changes they made in 2000.

The other day I saw a rain forest green 2000 911 Carrera. I thought it looked cool - reminded me of a giant bullfrog.

Eric...

Eric - they made a slight change to the front airdam. I personally thought the '99 model's was much cleaner looking.

"$37,900" - I'm gonna assume your friend got the C240.

My best friend just brought home his new C and the looks are great but I think the IS is still more attractive. The power is terrible and the tack on prices are ridiculous. He's got Xenon lights and the C2 package which comes with the glass moonroof, the rear visors, and some other unnoticable little things. $37,900 IMO- not worth it.
