Hey Lashdeep:

What are your nominees for current models that uphold the fine  
standards of the 250 SWB, the Lusso etc.?

Here are mine-there aren't many to pick from...

Anything current by Aston-Martin, esp. the Zagato stuff.
New Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
kinda sorta the current Bentley Continental, esp the ragtop.


Ugly Awards

The new Audi Le Mans thingie based on the Gallardo. Nose like John  
Delorean!
Anything by Chris Bangle-ouch! All the me-too bangle-butts (New MBnz  
S-Class)
All four door sedans with a four cylinder engine and a rear deck  
spoiler.
All the new Eurocars with pedestrian-friendly hoods as bloated as a  
package of freshly-nuked microwave popcorn - why not just avoid the % 
$^&Y*U pedestrians in the first place!!!!
