I posted my praises of my ugly but beautifully-designed Saab a few pages (and years) back, so here I'm gonna post about a design I'm just wild about, so far unmentioned, just for the looks. The Jaguar F-type:
No photograph can capture just how beautiful this thing is in person. My Saab dealership in SLC also did Volvos and Jags (others too that I can't remember now) so while I was getting some Saab mx done I wandered into the Jag showroom, saw this beauty, and just stared for a long time. A salesman finally walked over and we chatted, and he mentioned that Saabs weren't being made anymore (thanks, einstein) and would I be interested in stepping "up" to a Jag? And he opened the door.
I'm 6'5", with a shoe size of 13.5. I instinctively slid the seat back all the way, and then could not even fit my foot into the pedal well easily; the top was down so my head didn't hit anything but we both knew this wasn't the car for me.
My Saab was eventually replaced with a new '18 Audi convertible, in which I fit just fine. But, damn, that little F-type is still one of the sexiest things on 4 wheels...
