Yes, it is my opinion that the Italian knows how to design gorgeous looking cars. I didn't see any ugly looking Ferrari nor Lamborghini, and most Alfa Romeo are very good looking too.
Just compare this Alfa Romeo 4 with BRZ, which do you think is better looking coupe ?
The Italians have a long tradition of design, and so it's not surprise that they come up with pleasing designs more often than not. That's why other then Italian car manufcatuers often turn to Italian design houses. I do not like all their designs. I find the old Alfasud quite ugly and I don't care for the Ferrari Mondial at all. I also don't care for most Fiats other than their sporst cars, especially the ones built during the past 40 years. So yes, lots of nice desigsn come out of Italy, but others, regardless of their ethnicity can also produce topnotch designs. Look at the Toyota 2000 GT, the Avanti, and the early Corvettes.I won't let myself get drawn further into a debate about taste. Taste, like an opinion, is subjective, and no final resolution can ever be achieved.
