I'm not a BMW fan but I'd have to say the BMW does look the nicer car. I don't like the Honda Civics anyway. As far as liveries are concerned things can change before Media Day or even then before the first round. I remember the 95 Mondeo appearing at the Autosport Show looking similar to the previous years car but with silver doors instead of the earlier white. Come Media Day they were spoting the Valvoline Red and Blue V from the bonnet and down the sides of the car. Also the 97 Mondeo when first launched was quite plain before a little yellow and so on was added. I would like to see a bit more done to somehow break up the Orange on the BMW. It just looks a little too plain.

The new shape Civic is repulsive and not a patch on the classic lines of the old one. I doubt that a coat of Halfords Orange paint will do it any favours. The Vectra looks like.....well, ..... a Vauxhall - enough said. The BMW certainly looks the part and gets my vote.....but you don't get any championship points for how good your car looks!

I LOVE the Vectra, looks like a proper chunky Touring Car. It should be able to take (and dish out) a few hits...

Boo to anti-Vauxhall types!

Sorry, but i hate the looks of any Vectra, never mind one with a dodgy paint job! The Astra Sport Hatch looked a lot better than the Vectra (ditto the Astra Coupe). In my opinion it looks 2 ungainly and the fussy front end is at odds with the rather sedate rear. That's why I voted BMW, that colour scheme is fantastic.

I like the Leon. It's a beautiful car.
But it's a SAET :(

I'd have to go for the RAC BMW, that car looks amazing. But the Leon close 2nd

I like the BMW, although I hope they make the paint job a bit more interesting

the civic should look amazing too, the standard car looks pretty crazy and the racer should look even wilder :eek:


I still think the alfa's better looking than all of them though

I liked the 2006 MG ZS. :D

However, as this is not part of the big 4 for 2007, in the colours and because of the team that are running it (I can't believe I'm saying this) I like the BMW. The colour scheme is similar to the tops that the team (and some fans) were wearing last year - see Colin in the official photo to see what I mean. :)

I'm the same, find myself liking it even though it's a BMW ;)

Was pleased to see WSR/Team RAC do well last year, and I hope they're on the pace for 2007.

It pains me to admit it, but i do think the beemer looks particularly tasty out of that lot :(

BMW = 06 car on loan from sweden, so will look different on media day
Civic = mock up in MN of a road car not a full S2000 spec race car
Vectra = btc spec car wil a few bits to make it a show car, so will look different on media day

Leon = Only car seen as it will appear so far.

Therefore it is not possible to vote on unseen cars IMO.

I'd agree with Tdb, its too early to say yet.

The Vectra has gotta be the best lookin car for me cos the 1999 and 2000 model that triple eight used was great so lets hope this one is aswell :D

I think the Vectra is the best looking out of them all, it looks like a proper touring car from the super touring era. I went to the Autosport show and I think it looks better up close ;)

TDB - don't be so boring!!!!!! :rolleyes: :D

I think the BMW will look similar to what was at the show. If you remember last year, the MG -MK1 with MK2 grille was painted/stickered by WSR as their interpretation. This ended up being the same design as seen on the race cars for the whole season (with exception of the WSR stickers not appearing on the mirror covers). If WSR and RAC agree, then this is likely to be the same as this years show car (which, in my mind, brings out the best of the shape of the car). The actual car itself is unlikely to differ too much owing to it being S2000 spec.

The VX - yep, a mock up.

The MN 'civic' - didn't see it so can't comment on it.

I voted Vauxhall as I support them but people's comments on how the cars are mock ups etc are justified as they are facts.
