Stylish 60s French Coupe. The side profile is one of the best I've ever seen and the rear is amazing too. Front is meh by comparison but who cares when the rest is so great?
 
Compact style beyond even the DS.

Would have been garage material if the boxer didn't sound so trashy. Its low profile may have allowed for a more streamlined front end, but it's got absolutely nothing on the rear.

Scarcely Sub Zero.
 
I voted cool, I could see 007 driving this after he inevitably totals the Aston.
 
The front looks a bit clumsy, but the overall looks are inspired by the timeless Citroen DS, and they actually look quite original too. And its engine is quite decent for a car like this.

Solid cool.
 
An uglier version of the DS, and it produces an disappointing amount of horsepower. Uncool.

Lazily cribs from the DS without actually understanding anything about the DS.

Only the headlights look to be influenced by the DS.

Actually it was the other way round, Panhard merged with Citröen, and they took the headlight design from the 24 for the DS facelift. :)

Still, it is not nearly as pretty as the DS. And the DS was a very good looking machine.

I personally don't understand what people see in the DS in terms of attractiveness. It's a landmark in automotive history and definitely cool, but it's a loaf of French bread on wheels, as ungainly for its length as the E-type.

The Panhard 24 has a bit of an awkward face, but to me it is a genuinely pretty and visually interesting coupe with a vastly more appealing profile. Its nifty little boxer twin and light weight are also reasons I voted Sub Zero.

Sure, the E-Type is a handsomer, more appealing car than the DS21. But for it's time, the Citroen DS had an advanced design that was very sleek. Here's an example.

A forward-thinking or aerodynamic design isn't necessarily an appealing one. Like I said, I agree the DS is significant, but I can't relate to why it's considered attractive. In my eyes, "beautiful", "handsome", and "interesting" are all separate possible qualities for the looks of a car. The DS is simply "interesting".

And what I was saying about the E-type is that its elongated styling doesn't appeal to me either. Except the E-type is a 🤬 on wheels instead. ;)

Never heard of this thing, but it looks incredibly quirky for a car of this era.
 
Eh it's quirky enough to be cool I guess. I think I'm more surprised that Panhard bars originally came from the Panhard automotive company...the more you know.
 
It has something about it, but not enough to make me want to drive or own one.
Can think of hundreds if not thousands of cars I'd rather use than this is I was picking a girl up for a first date
uncool
 
Looks sleek, sleeker than the DS. The DS is cooler because everyone knows what it is. This one is better looking but probably less interesting and not as cool. Very high cool though.
