Coupe battle: Italians vs. Germans vs. British

dOmInIX · 03-31-2007, 01:51 PM

So, which style do you like the best? Not all the cars from particular countries are the same,
but many of them from for example Italy have specific similar lines and design.
Italian passion and tradition, German perfection and engineering or British bigness and luxury?
Please say which one you chose and why.

Italian coupes

German coupes

British coupes

I voted for the Germans. IMHO, excellent engineering, perfection and high quality, are the most important things in a car. I would never buy a car only because it looks gorgeous. I definitely prefer to give out my money for a car that may not have great looks, but is a great piece of engineering and perfection.

Italian, although the 911 is my favourite coupé.

Overall, I'm going to vote for Britian.

While generally "less" exicting than the coupes that comes from Germany and Italy, I tend to prefer their
conservatively styled coupes.

Especially the Brooklands..
