I think the ND Miata is the nicest looking since the NA.

I disagree with the Q7, looks better now than before.  And the Sonata, looks better now than before.

Maybe not in pictures, but in person, absolutely.

Don't agree with any of them. The Mini and Dodge Ram perhaps..... but the redesign is subtle enough I don't care  :P

The 4Runner in the flesh looks much worse.  In the pictures & videos, the Titan looks too over the top.

I thought the MX-5 and the Mustang look better in the newer generation. As for the rest, could care less, do not make much difference.

Yeah....looking at it again I agree. The Titan was ugly to being with so....

I like the exterior of the E46 better than the E90.
