Which country do you think has the best-looking cars on its streets ? - Page 3

gladisimo · February 17th, 2007, 09:32 PM

Yea, NA cars are BORING, even in Bev Hills, you see maybe the occasional Aston and Ferrari, and LOADS of SL's.

Never been to Europe, but I imagine it to be better than NA. Hong Kong cars have NA beat in terms of nice-ness. NA cars are really bland in terms of styling, and monotonous.... not very nice at all.

Yeah but Koenigsegg are German so are Benz and Porsche, the Bugatti Veyron and Venturi are French, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Zonda are Italian, Saleen and Hummer are American, Aston Martin (

), Rolls Royce and Bentley are British, Supra is Japanese.... Moreover you'll find the same in every wealthy part of any country, may it be UAE, Italy, Spain, China, UK, USA, France, Germany.....

Yeah but look at all the crap cars they are surrounded by. Most people there are dirt poor. It's disgusting the disparity of incomes there. Plus how many are indigenous to that area? None thats how many.

So wait, if our country doesnt make cars, you cant have the best looking cars on the street even if you have per capita more then anyone??? lol funny how some people try to change the criteria just so some place they are jealous of can't win. Anyways, yes UAE has a lot of crappy cars, aint gonna lie, but the number of amazing cars they have on a per capita basis is quite amazing.

Besides tiny tax havens, the type of country you seem to be looking for doesnt really exist.

A per capita ratio? Maybe UAE wins, but in gross number I don't think so. I know in Paris you'll find places where there are amazing cars (even cars that are not supposed to be sold), but in Tokyo as there is almost no district poorer that others, you can find stunning cars anywhere, and these two cities are way bigger than Dubai. No doubt it's the same thing for NYC, London...

What jealousy are you talking about? Nothing to be proud of in having the most numerous luxury cars on your city's streets, as they are not yours. Besides, for some people Hummers are great cars, but as for me I'm fed up with seeing these poluting things cropping up in the streets of my town.

As a country Germany, as a city London (central London).

i think frankfurt

***Xusein*** · February 19th, 2007, 04:16 AM

Dubai, UAE.

Everywhere I went, new-model cars everywhere. Lots of BMWs, Mercedes, and other rich cars there.

Lots of nice cars here, but people are more modest when choosing cars, although the incomes are high.

shayan · February 19th, 2007, 11:15 AM

Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Kuweit, Manama, Monaco, Cannes.. And big country.... I must say Germany

BalWash · March 1st, 2007, 07:39 AM

I say USA. Here in Bethesda we roll stock on 493 horses and 516 foot pounds of torque:

i wouldn't rank South Africa anywhere near the countries listed here like Germany, UK, USA, UAE etc, but BMW, Mercedes Benz, Audi, Range Rover, Volkswagen etc have a large following while Porshe, Ferrarri, Lambo, Rolls-Royce, Hummer have developed a good niche market. The following pictures shows some of the cars on SA roads :-

I have been to many countries, but I am most impressed by the car models in UAE and Oman. They are very fancy and colourful, mixture between Eastern and Western-made cars.

But of course I hope UAE can launch its national car project very soon

Bugatti is german. --> VW
Lamborghini is german. --> Audi
Rolls Royce and Bentley are german. --> BMW/VW

Because they're owned by German companies does not mean they're not British (Rolls + Bentley). Likewise with the rest...

What? They are owned by the Germans but they are British?

Besides that:

Aston Martin ist us-american. --> Ford; but Ford is selling them, there are rumors that they are french now.

kulani · March 2nd, 2007, 04:42 PM

one can only imagine where the debate of "Rolls Royce is English but owned by Germans" will go. Personally i think it makes more sense to me to consider Rolls Royce an English car because that is where its origins lie just as BMW's origins lie in Germany (you never know who might buy them one day...and you will understand why BMW must be considered German irrespective of who buys them in future). The character of this car and its history is unmistakably british and even their new owners understand that they must preserve this legacy.

It's hard to talk about countries, talking about cities would be much better...
And I think almost every car fanatic agrees that the capital of exotics in the world is definitely Monaco. No other city could currently beat Monaco.
