Maybe it is a sign that mature old At 28, I am slowly becoming numb, but I don’t think many modern cars look as good as they did a few years ago or after redesigns. If car Designer are requested, design a new vehicleyou must remember that Aerodynamic Efficiency, Securityand government regulations take precedence over pure, graceful design. That’s not to say it’s impossible to produce a truly stunning automobile in 2024. It just takes a lot of work and money to make sure the design meets those requirements.
In a field of split headlights, light bars and unpainted plastic panels, a few new car designs catch my eye. I’ll start with the iconic, understated Volvo V60. Volvo’s design language is due for a major overhaul with the flood of electric models like the EX90 and EX30, both of which look good, but I fear the current V60 looks better. Plus, it’s a long-roofed, low-slung estate car that’s hard to beat. If not the Volvo V60, then in my opinion the Lexus LC500 coupe is the best-looking car currently on sale. Again, the LC’s design has been around for some time, but it’s still distinctive, bold and avant-garde, both inside and out. Honorable mentions go to the Genesis range, all of which feature the only respectable split headlight design on the market.
But enough of my ramblings. We come to you, dear Jalopnik reader, in all humility to share your opinion on the best looking car in existence right now. Do you agree that there are fewer jaw-droppingly beautiful cars than in years past, or have I become a full-blown baby boomer and need to start yelling at kids to get off my lawn? As if I could afford a house with a lawn in this economy. Either way, let us know in the comments!
