As a counter to all of the vulgar ugliness of the other thread lets have something with a bit of class.
Bentley bentayga, for me...
* ducks... *
Audi S8. Any generation.
That DS is verging on pron
Jaguar E-type
Early Mercedes Gulwing
Aston Martin DB5
Tesla model S
Bentley Continental GT

Are you the Pimlico Plumber spiv?
Healey 3000, TR4, early Corvette Singray or the Shelby Cobra for me.
The original Lexus LS400 is now 30yrs old and is starting to look like more appealing. It'll be a future classic
Alfaholics GTAr, Singer 911, DB4 Zagato... pretty much any of the current restomod or continuation specials
My mate just bought one of these... effortlessly sophisticated, classy, one of the best front ends around to these eyes, graced with a full orchestra's worth of sonic accompaniment...which just about forgives it's vulgarity of only doing about 12mpg so far...Maserati Granturismo.

the e-type looks like a penis. it even has a similar opening at the front. that must be vulgar!
as for classy, Ferrari Roma and 612 look classy to my eye.
Mercedes pagoda roof SL
Ferrari 456
Citroen SM (and the DS that op mentions)

Lots of lovely cheaper cars but perhaps not classy.

"That Maserati is..." as modern cars go it's elegant compared to the heinous munters on that other thread. Really has a great engine note, up there with the best for aural class. Its the combination of those looks and that voice that blow the wind up the skirt. Agree though that older sports cars are generally so much more interesting, can't think of many other modern cars that are really classy, Jag F-type maybe, Aston Vantage.
Modern cars try to look aggressive whereas I guess they didn’t have these fancy hydroforming back when cars had more of a friendly face with simpler shapes.
Is the Honda e classy, certainly more friendly than most modern cars
most old italian cars. the fiat 127 coupe, or the asa 1000
Also the wee cabrio, 304?
Sorry this need pics..
the DS is smart but the Citroen Maserati tops it.
The GTVs are great cars.
The Fulvia is one of those perfectly formed cars.
Think I’d put a put a Bugatti Atlantic at the top of my list.
I was looking at Fiat 130 coupes the other day. Fiat Dino tops the lot of them though.
For pretending to be a detective inspector in a rural village with an oddly high murder rate:
For pretending to be the French president:
Any 60s/70s/80s 911 with Fuchs wheels.
Rover P5B coupe.
Christ, my Dad had two of those P5s when they were old enough to get you bullied but not old enough to be cool.
Ive always had a soft spot for a Karmann Ghia and if money was no object a Lamborghini Miura
Can't post an image (can never get it to work these days) but I've always had a soft spot for the Duesenberg Model J convertible.
An absolutely gorgeous, classy & stylish motor if ever there was one.
Lamborghini Miura SV
Ferrari 365 (coupe or convertible)
McLaren F1
Of current cars very few are classy. Most have lines that are toofussy , have too many fake vents, exhausts and creases .
A couple of notable exceptions would be the Alfa Giulia and Merc C class coupe.
The golden era for classy cars was definitely the 60s . Lots of lovely coupes with flowing lines , E type , DB5, Miura,etc.
Its the polar opposite of and aggressive German thing with 400bhp and 20" alloys 😉
Hey - forget about it.
