What makes a top designer? Designing a lot of beautiful cars? Even if there haven't been as many great American or Asian designers they still have an opinion, and it should be a factor if we're deciding the world's most beautiful car. In that case the award should have been "Europe's most beautiful car", as there is simply too much room for bias in the result.
Top designer = someone that is prestigious, well known and has many examples of good designs.
YOU clearly didn't read the article. Stop making false accusations. I just went through every name on the 🤬 list for you. Every one of those designers worked for European brands. The only one who wasn't European was Ken Okuyama, but he worked for Pininfarina.
That obviously means a high amount of the most prestigious and well known designers came from Europe. They're not going to make a poll and have fillers from other countries just to increase the variety of countries, the designers were obviously chosen for a reason, and that reason was stated above. The fact that most of them came from Europe or the designers worked for European countries means nothing, they still have a brain and know what the qualities of a good design is. Are you going to say the poll is irrelevant because it doesn't cover all age bases?
I never said Europe was a country! I'm not an idiot, stop making me look like one to try to win a 🤬 debate! Europe is one of the three regions of the automotive world, the others being Asia/Oceania and North America. The designs of all European cars are similar in comparison to American and Asian designs, which are clearly different. European designers concluded a European car was the most beautiful in the world. How is that supposed to be accurate?
First of all, relax, please.
The poll was created as a 'battle royal' poll, where
some of the most prestigious and well known designers would chose which of the following cars, which are known for being the most beautiful in the world is the best. The most beautiful car out of a list of the most beautiful cars in the world is obviously going to be the most beautiful car created, right? You wouldn't just randomly put cars such as Toyota Camrys or Pontiac Aztecs in the poll, and you know why? Because they're not known for being beautiful. The cars listed
are known for being beautiful. It's practically a list of the most common cars for people to say 'I think this is the most beautiful car in the world', and out of these cars the 'winner' was chosen by people who actually have designed cars themselves, and have been in the business for a long time so they know what the quality of a beautiful car is.
Of course it's always going to be subjective, as I mentioned before I particularly loathe the DS as well, but for something like this there is always going to be a minority. The poll seems like it did its job well, judging by the amount of outrage caused from saying you disliked it.
Body styles, huh? Let's see, for the Ferrari 250's we've got nothing but coupes. The Citreon DS?
And that's spanning 20 years of production with facelifts in 1962 and 1967. The Citroen DS line was far more diverse than the Ferrari 250's, and yet it was still voted as one car.
That's because the car voted for was the Citroen DS, not the DS21 Break, nor the Cabriolet.
