Not only are they getting uglier, the build quality leaves a lot to be desired as well.

No worries about anyone stealing it ::) ;D

BMW only seem to make 'ugly cars' these days.
Shame really, because the E39 was a bit of a looker.
The old M5, the one with the V8 lump and 'just' 400 B.H.P, was a great car.
What are they going for these days?

Would like one but at these prices don't think so. But i think your pretty safe depreciation wise.

The sound these V10 M5s make is my favourite sounding BMW by far.

E39 M5's can be had for as little as £4000 (not a great example) now, but they're just on the turning point of where the value will start going up again. £6000 would see you with a 2000 model with reasonable miles and in good nick :y.

Few more ugly cars.
New Vanquish

I do like the jeep though
-
would never buy a new car-might as well burn your money-depreciation is silly-you lose thousands as soon as you drive off forecourt >:( mate of mine 4 years ago bought a 1951 studebaker champion convertible-cost 14k-now worth 19/20k so increased value ;) so protect the environment-get a classic-values only go up--look at mk1 escorts :D 8k+
-
I think the new Vanquish is a stunner, and I also like the Mercedes CLA :y.

Whilst I agree in principle think of the money a lot of people lost on classic cars in the late 80's into early 90's there really was a boom and bust cycle which, in part, worries me about classic's at the moment, particularly the lowly Mini, I think they are over priced, not a time to buy though, I would like one....... ;) ;)
-
The colour of some these new one`s is over powering
I was following a new shat box yesterday & it was painted like a shiny new penny.
-
Forgot to say, I remember when the Ford Sierra was described as an ugly car........... :y
It was, certainly the early ones imo, I was pleased that I got the new Cavalier as a company car, and not the Sierra, to replace my MK5 Cortina............ :D :D

Still want another capri , knew i should of bought one 5 years ago :'( The old Mini's are way too expensive always have been ....id have one though at the right price :)

Better than money in the bank if you have the popular models :y or a loss if they rust to nothing ;D

Not only are most new cars ugly but they are also fatties compared to older models. The name Juke for that Nissan monstrosity offends me as it is too close to jukebox and the ones I have are totally gorgeous.
