Last week, Raphael posted !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , proposing that the Jaaaaag XJ6 is the prettiest modern sedan ever made.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

It stirred up quite a controversy. So, Oppo, what do you think? Which sedans give you the tingly winglies down in your thingies?

The criteria:

Only postwar cars and beyond

That includes cars presently on sale/slated for production

No Panthers. Suck it.

Happy arguing!

I'm gonna go ahead and say whatever the new Lagonda looks like.

But this is runner up:

We apparently don't have the same tastes. I find it painfully good looking.

This definitely isn't the best looking, but I always thought the Volvo S40 R-Design was incredibly handsome for a compact sedan.

Never listen to the marketing people they will steal your soul and then auction it on ebay.

I'm gonna have to go with the E39 5 series. Even in non-M5 or M-Sport guise. They still look fresh and timeless to me 16 years after they first debuted. Particularly the LCI/facelifted post-2001 models.

Does this count as a production car? I mean, there were 8 of them, and they were all sold to customers, so...

As the author of this post, I declare that it does, in fact, count.

If I ever wrote science fiction I would give that thing a hover conversion.

Because it would look perfect with dieselpunk equipment hanging out the back and leaving fire trails as it zooms past 88mph to commence temporal displacement.

I might be stretching the boundaries of "sedan" a little, but save for the Rapide and the fisker nothing comes close imho.

My uncle used to have one when I was a kid. It was an impressionable age, so not debatable at all, for me. Stunning looking thing.

First choice since i'm well; a commoner.

2nd choice; for when my stock splits (lol). The proportions are kinda awkward but it works, saw the V12 S version i Denver this year - just stunning.

Its so well appointed; I don't care about the exterior as much, and besides V12 + friends = win.

And when you tire of the interior appointments and the howling engine - you can get fucked up and play checkers.

I'm going to take modern more literally. Best by far to be had with a factory warranty today.

I was gonna post a picture of this as well. I remember in '96 when my uncle bought this car brand new. I used to love going for rides in it as a child.

Totally agree on the E39 M5. Muscular, yet understated. The lines conservative, the wheels are perfect and the small decklid spoiler and quad pipes show it means business. Personally, I have been underwhelmed (to be very kind) with the looks of every BMW that has followed.

It is a Citroen SM Opera. http://www.quattro-porte.com/?p=283 — lots of images: https://www.google.com/search?bih=972…

I have lusted after them since I learned of their existence. I doubt I'll ever own one, much less see one in person. But I can always hope a DS wagon will come my way...
