The International Automotive Festival has crowned the Alfa Brera the sexiest sled alive, few can claim the legitimacy of this one. Car Design News, a website produced by and for the automobile designers of the world, has polled its own audience of designers and design students to discover which car auto artists themselves believe to be the best designed.

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage appears to be the design most revered by designers. Admittedly this car looks even better in person as it does in pictures. Second place went to the four-door Mercedes Benz CLS and third to another Aston, the DB9. The Alfa Brera managed to capture the hearts of designers to the tune of an eighth placed finish.
