Best looks per dollar?

I walked by one of these guys today and was surprised once again what a good looking car it is for $20k - $30k. Which got me thinking, what's the best looking car per dollar spent? The most expensive that my mind really went to was a base Boxster or 4c. The Toyobarus would be in the running. Anyways, if the goal is just to name a good looking car, independent of everything else, where is the highest value among new cars?

Kia is making some great looking cars, but I'll offer the Mazda 6.

In Indonesia, we got an Alfa Romeo Giuletta. That's one hell of good looking car for 30k USD.

Ooooooo....speaking of cars that aren't offered in the US. VW Scirocco and this beautiful creation:

2014 Fusion. You can pick one up for just over $22K. A little more and you can get the AWD version.

"Is that a Ferrari?" is a question that has been asked by the non-car people about the 86 more than once.

"new car", pfft. When for good looks, you can get a ' 46 Packard for half?

I like the looks of the Fusion except the back end.

Used I have to go with first gen G35. Here's mine:

In addition to being magically aerodynamic, I've always seen a sort of art-deco design in the headlights and front end. Something just makes me all happy about it. Seeing how you can pick one up for right around $12-13 grand in good, or $14 in great condition, not bad.

New cars, Kia's are great. I think they are some of the more "fashion forward" cars for the money. For the sale of discussion I'm going to have to go with the Dodge Dart being one of the top looks per dollar. For right around $20-25K it's a very unique look for not a lot of money.

Ah, yes, the RCZ, that's beautiful.

It's cost 40k in here for the base model, and 55k for the R. And seriously, that thing didn't look like a sub-100k car.

The Scirocco in Indonesia is Ungodly Expensive because the VW didn't bother to sell it here, so we have to import the car ourselves.

I'm a sucker for hatches, and a loaded Fiesta ST for under $25K looks good to me..

I agree. I wish the tail lights looked different. Not sure what I would change but they just look wrong.

Of course, people also ask if a C4 Corvette is a Ferrari...

I've seen someone ask a guy if his Fiero was a Ferrari. To be fair it was red and had Ferrari badges on it. It was pretty funny though.

That reminds me of the red Sunfire convertible I see driving around here with Ferrari badges, though less shameful since a Fiero is at least mid-engined, aggressive, and a decent handler in GT trim.
