Poll: best looking GA prop plane of all time?

For twins, I like the Commanders (AC-500 and AC690)

For singles, I guess I am biased, but I like the Skylane.

I know a lot of you will scoff, thinking 'ugly, run of the mill' or
whatever. But I think I like them because they look like airplanes. Not
somebody's art project.

Exactly why I like the King Air. It's there to do a job. Maybe not a
particularly fast or spectacular job, but a good, solid one.

Bumpy cowl, makes me think of a Cessna 195. another fine aircraft.

Beats the Cirrus, not to mention any spam can, hands down.

No, the wasp waste designs are ugly. I'd rather have a Cirrus, that a
Diamond Star from a purely aesthetic perspective, however, I'd rather
have a Falco than either of them.

Oops, meant waist, although those designs are also somewhat of a waste. :-)
