When in doubt, I tend to employ the old Bridget Bardot Test method. If it looks like BB might've been prepared to step from St Tropez beach into it, I like it.

Ferrari GTO 1964

I can understand what you mean if you're from the States, but on this side of the water it's a different story.

Anyway, I adore the shape of the Lancia Beta/Montecarlo.
Nice and square. No rounded corners.

Speaking of rounded cars. Here's another beauty I'd love to own.
The one and only VW Karmann Ghia.
