I've had more comments of admiration about my D2s than any other vehicle I've owned or driven, including some much newer and far more expensive vehicles. And yet they're by no means a beautiful car, in my opinion. Someone once described my present car as 'very sharp', and I think 'sharp' is a good word to describe them. They have a lot of 'presence' and they have tidy lines that make them very handsome cars, though they can look stunning after a bit of spit and polish.
