Vs Coupe battle: Italians vs. Germans vs. British

[dOmInIX]

So, which style do you like the best? Not all the cars from particular countries are the same,
but many of them from for example Italy have specific similar lines and design.
Italian passion and tradition, German perfection and engineering or British bigness and luxury?
Please say which one you chose and why.

I voted for the Germans. IMHO, excellent engineering, perfection and high quality, are the most important things in a car. I would never buy a car only because it looks gorgeous. I definitely prefer to give out my money for a car that may not have great looks, but is a great piece of engineering and perfection.

italians when it comes to looks

 

[Bartek S.]

Germans is my style

 

[Imhotep Evil]

I second that. Minus Maserati and some Ferraris.

 

[SDNR]

Italian, although the 911 is my favourite coupé.

 

[Bruce]

Overall, I'm going to vote for Britian.

While generally "less" exicting than the coupes that comes from Germany and Italy, I tend to prefer their
conservatively styled coupes.

Especially the Brooklands..

I cant vote in this thread because I love cars from all of the countries. It would all have to depend on what mood im in, whether I want a flashy Italian, perfectly made and engineered German, or a beautiful and understated British coupe. I gotta say though that I may vote for the Itailians just for the looks of the gallardo, LP640 and the Zonda.

I made a little mistake: i was going to vote for german coupes, but i actually clicked on british... how can i fix that?

And, by the way, where's the SLR from the pictures?

 

[ree]

British coupés for me!!

 

[cawimmer430]

I didn't vote. Each of these nations makes some stunning coupes so choosing one over the other would be unfair.

I think the Italians always choose the path of visual flair, something that stands out while the Germans go for Teutonic elegance and conservativism, but still beauutiful. The British place emphasis on elegance and classiness. That's how I see it.

Damn what a hard poll, sorry but i can't choose.

 

[bmer]

Hard choice! But in the end Aston Martins are the most beautiful cars in the world so I'll have to say British.

I can change that

 

[Merc1]

Oooh we a tough one. I'd say that the Italians have it overall, but nothing is a beautiful as the British Aston-Martin DB9. So overall Italy, Germany, and then the British..overall that is.

[PanterroR]

Can i pick one from each?

1. Aston Martin
2. 599 GTB
3. 3er

This is easy - the Italians for me. They do Coupés like no other. Just look at the 8C and the Zonda - I was about to say the Murciélago, but that was designed by a Belgian... But still, they all have the Italian flavour of slickness, flashiness and all of the goodness of eye-candy all wrapped in a neat package.

The British come a close second for me, I just adore their GT-style bodies that are long and luxurious.

I'm sorry to say in terms of design, the Germans come last for me... But the 911 is one endearing design though.
