Best looking BTCC car 2005

Well, we've got a couple of definates so far...we'll leave the poll running for when the other cars get seen.

The new Vaux, the old one?, the Integra's, the Civic, the Lexus, the Alfa? Or the MG-ZS if it shows?

Its too early to pick a winner, but I can pick a loser... the Vauxhall looks ordinary... when the test car was photographed in all red paintwork, it looked quite nice, seemed to hide some of the awkward lines of that car, and the flares that dont really seem to be integrated....

The Lexus will probably win it for me, mainly because I like the shape anyway

I think the Integra is the best looking car still...but the new Astra paint job is the best one of those I think. Though I'm confused as to why only Muller's car has the Vauxhall 'V', the other two are sporting the more Opelesque look.

the hatch hasnt been launched yet, so there may not be enough parts yet. Also, I think the VXR has a different grille to the standard models

The integra really dosen't do much for me. Just feel we've seen it all before, maybe it's just the livery and from the side looks a little like the Halfords 406 Coupe

Agreed - at least it looks like there'll be a variety of colours out this year (unlike 2004 when everyone moaned taht there was too much red at the media day, followed by a moaning that there was too much black come Thruxton...)
