I just bought a Supra but even I would say the RX7 is a better looking car.

Even now the RX7 is very attractive.

Too bad the rotary isn't the most reliable powerplant.


I would vote for the Supra #2; it still looks nice.


I like the NSX but it's angular shape, while attractive, looks dated.



How did a Del Sol get on this list?

HEY, leave the Sol alone. I got pics on the first page that allow it to stay on the list.

I love the NSX, but the 3rd generation RX7 is still one of the best looking cars to ever come out of Japan.

The Supra just doesn't do it for me. It's not ugly, it's just not... quite right. The S13 is not at all attractive; the S14 would probably get a lot more votes. The MKII MR2 is another good choice.

The size combined with the curves of the FD make it a hands down winner for me...





...That and, well, I'm a rotary fanboi

Watch your mouth kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home.

The S13 is what was available in 1993, as in class of....S14 wasn't released until 1994/5.

I agree the coupe and conv. are not as good looking, but those hatchbacks are pretty sweet. Not as curvey as the Supra or RX-7, but sleek none the less and cleaner looking in many ways.

I have to agree with others on the NSX. The car just has that Super Car look. Although it's a tough choice because there are MANY good looking car in the class of '93

The S13 is a bit too much like a Firebird. The poll wasn't explicit, but yes, the S13 was the 240SX available in '93.

I had to pick the RX-7. Although the Supra and the 3000 are very close behind.

I have no idea why the Celica and del Sol made a poll with these rolling sculptures of automotive art when the NSX did not. And I don't like the way 300ZXs look, but they should have been a choice as well.

Um, because I like the looks of the Del sol and the Celica. Admittedly the NSX was a glaring oversight on my part, human error being what it is I left it open with an "other" option.

It was a tough call, but I went with the RX-7. Still one of my favorite all-time cars for looks and performance, but the reliability killed it.

As much as I like a lot of these cars, when I think back to when they were released, the mainstream automotive press wasn't very kind to them.

I think I remember both the FD and MKIV being maligned for their "egg/jellybean" shapes or melted bar of soap looks. I believe the FD was said to be a ripoff of the Corvette (C4) at the time, but its funny how it kinda of resembles the C5. Pop ups were considered anachronistic, so it and the 1G 3000GT took some heat for that and then the latter was criticised for having too many scoops and vents.
