For the longest time I thought the XJ220 was hideous

But now I’m starting to think that it looks good. What’s happening to me?

I figured, makes sense. It happens like this, right?

Perhaps you are developing a sense of taste with a touch of class.

Cars today are just so over styled that all the cues get lost in the noise. Clean lines for the win!

I thought the same thing with the Carrera GT

Wow they were on some interesting drugs in the 80s.

XJ220 is going through a renaissance, isn’t it? This is the time to buy as everyone will forget WAAAAAAAH IT DOESNT HAVE A V12 WAAAAAAAH.

See, I’ve always thought that the Porsche Carerra GT looked amazing.

Yeah, the era of the V6TT is upon us and the Jaguar may have kinda started that (probably not, but who cares).

It’s much more subtle than its contemporaries, which I’ve grown to really like. It’s aged much better than the Enzo or Zonda.

I’ve always loved the XJ220, especially in Monza Red.

Hang on a cotton pickin’ minute. The CGT is one of the best looking cars built by anyone, ever. And it always has been!

Justify yourself!

Curious as to why. I’ve always thought it looks amazing, sort of the eponymous big supercar. I think the profile would look better if the door were a bit longer, but aside from that I’ve always thought it was proportionate and awesome, and particularly inoffensive.

With age and maturity comes refined taste.

I don’t care much for the XJ220 either. It’s...droopy.

The 90s are cool again. A Clinton is running for president, Full House is popular, and Will & Grace has a new season coming out.

It is subtle, but it’s so well done!

I think the Enzo is holding up decently well , the Zonda is questionable . I think that the simpler ones like the F have aged well , but the crazy 760 series special edition are just bonkers . But you’re right , I think the CGT is getting prettier with age .

Honestly, I used to think that it looked like a droopy brick of melted plastic devoid of any styling , but I’m really starting to think it’s handsome .

How... how could you look at that car and not think it looks anything short of incredible? Just curious... what are some of your favorite looking cars?

Oddly enough, I like long tail LeMans cars and I’m usually a sucker for Porsche. Also love the McLaren F1 and any cars with crazy aero ( I think that 2008 F1 cars are awesome). IKD, I thought that the 220 looked like a melted 1996 mid-engined Ford Taurus but I’m starting to change my mind.

I mean I wasn’t born for the first half so more or less, yeah.

Well those are certainly some fantastic cars. And I think every F1 car that isn’t a V6 is awesome, so 2008 definitely still rocks hahaha.

Also... what kind of porsche is that?

The top is the Renault Alpine 220 , the middle is the Porsche 917 Longtail, and the bottom is like my favorite car the Porsche 908 Longtail. I saw the 908 at the Rennsport reunion and it absolutely captivated me. It’s got a badass flat 8 and active aero and it’s everything I love in cars.

Back in the 90s everything was a droopy brick and that’s the way we likesd it!
