All of these cars were designed by legendary stylist Giorgetto Giugiaro. It's neat to see common themes such as wedges, boxes, wedgy boxes, and weird door and window openings across everything from the sexiest Italian supercars to the lowliest Eastern Bloc econoboxes.

Four wheels, a door for the driver, a steering wheel, headlights, taillights, a driver's seat, and they all burn dino-juice!

Amirite?!
