Whoever the guy at honda is in charge of design, I must admit they did a good job. The new civic and accord are some of the only examples I can think of where the contemporary model actually improved in looks. If a car with the silhouette of the later were made as-is 20 years ago without telling you what it was, one might even think they were looking at a premium luxobarge. (The way they gutted the accord's performance though is unforgiveable.)
Some may not like to admit it, but the guys at gm on the corvette team have been doing a better job than almost everyone else lately at keeping the torch alive. One of the few outfits out there still doing cool things and making meaningful improvement rather than backsliding.
Porsches have always leaned on subtle understatement in design language, but in an era where most of their continental neighbors have been going full retard trying to be 'distinctive', that circumspect approach has proven advantageous.
The way the frontal area of amg models is just completely taken up by the grille, and blowing up the trifoil badge to fill out the free space to match, is honestly just great. Both cool and functional, something that looks like it means business for real, without squinty angery headlights or other design copes.
The gr86 looks good in person, much better when looking down at it from head height than low angle magazine shots. A commendable effort at the classic touring car archetype. In which I don't think they succeeded in bettering the mx-5, but it is good that they tried. There should be more competitive options in this space.
The prius would probably never be the first thing that came to anyone's mind when they think of 'soulful', but the facelift was a real meaningful improvement of looks to something not depressing, perhaps gratifying even, and that should be commended.
The s650 mustang is not as good looking as the s550, but it's still a good reprieve from the masses of cuckover traffic.
