Top ten cars pictures from U.S.ALotus Europa SDesigner: Russell CarrAvailable: EuropeThis is one of the few Lotus models not to make it to the U.S. With its stealth side air intakes, low overall height, large rims, and concave hood, the sports car reeks of speed.Lancia DeltaDesigner: Lancia Centro StileAvailable: EuropeThe Delta blends luxury stylings with the low, sleek body of a family hatchback. The rounded sidelines and trunk reflect traditional European car design.HSV GrangeAvailable: AustraliaA full-size luxury sedan, the Grange is Australia’s answer to BMW’s 740i or Audi’s S8. Its clean lines, LED tail lights, and understated spoiler are powerful but not flashy.Honda LifeAvailable: JapanThis kei (light) sedan is a Japanese best-seller. Here, former Honda (HMC) President and CEO Takeo Fukui shows off the car, with a tall, boxy design and compact body.Mini Cooper DDesigner: Frank StephensonAvailable: Europe, AustraliaThis is the classic Mini Cooper, which is available in the U.S., but a diesel version, which is not.Citroën C3 PicassoDesigners: Donato Coco and Jean-Pierre PlouéAvailable: EuropeThis perky supermini still has room to boast with its four doors and giant hatch. The curvy window, fenders, and head lamps are pure European design.BMW E61 M5 TouringDesigner: Chris BangleAvailable: EuropeBMW isn’t known for wagons in America, but that would undoubtedly change if the M5 Touring crossed the pond. The design retains pared down elegance of a traditional BMW, while long, smooth lines and even proportions lend a sharp, tasteful look.Wiesmann GT MF5Available: EuropeFrom the triple-curved hood to the distinctive spoiler, this car is certainly eye-catching. The large front end, oversize wheels, and cockpit-like driver’s area make this beauty seem as if it’s in constant motion.Alfa Romeo BreraDesigner: Giorgetto GiugiaroAvailable: EuropeFamed Italian carmaker Pininfarina added some flair to this sporty two-door coupe. It has the front end of an old-school muscle car, but the lines and hatchback give it a more modern lookFord KaDesigner: Claude LoboAvailable: Britain, Latin AmericaThe name Ford doesn’t usually conjure images of tiny cars, but the Ka is an exception. Its designer said he was inspired by the original Mini.
