I love the NSX, but these polls seem to be just picked at random. :)

Agree. It entirely depends on who is polled and how they feel that day.
Much as I like the NSX, there are a lot of beautiful cars in history, and I don't think it should be in the top-50...

Looking again, the NSX is one of the least objectionable cars there. :bigsmile:

I 100% agree Martin.
It is a fine, fine car, brilliantly engineered with striking looks.
Beautiful? Not in the eye of this beholder.

Wow.. now there's a comment.
Just to put my vote in. Personally I think it is in the top 50 or at least 75/100. From some angles more than others... but definitely a head-turning beautiful car.
Last summer I was in London for the day. It was very sunny and the car had just been waxed. My wife I and counted 12 people taking pictures of the car. Tourists walking down the street, other dirvers with their mobiles... etc. No joke 12!
Now, I know that I am a very good looking man, but I can't modestly take credit for all those snaps?
-----------
No.38 - yes, all credibility in the poll went out the window when I looked at the car that "just" beat out the NSX.

OK... thought about it a few minutes and looked at pics. beautiful is a hard word to define, agreed... You may think your old girlfriend "the one that got away" was beautiful, and others may not. ; )
Can't use the word "Head-Turner" either as many any car from the 40's,50's,60's will turn heads.
Anway.. I think these two are errr.. uniquely beautiful, like the NSX!

and these two.. well head-turners for sure... and mean looking performers.. but not beautiful in my book.. well, maybe the merc would be in the flesh.

Its a great looking car with some great lines & curves, but also understated. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I like these one alot!
