2025 A+ Awards

1/8/2025

and the 2025 a+ award winner is.....

This company just can't stay off our list, as they have won this award before and have made it on the top list as well. With a shorter past than companies like Lamborghini and Ferrari, they have managed to win over more design awards for their limited amount of products and 2025 is not going to change that.

2024 A+ Awards

and the 2024 A+ Award Winner is............

AutoLooks A+ Award

Growth was a big player this year with our list, as we did grow in numbers compared to last year. Both in the amount of vehicles which made the list and with the overall grade. Moving up by over 2%, this years A+ Awards list has grown in a big way and so has our overall winner.

2023 A+ Awards

12/29/2022

AND THE 2023 A+ AWARD WINNER IS......

This years winner doesn't really surprise us, as it's counterpart was rated rather high as well. What AutoLooks thought was odd for 2023, was the fact that there were so little on the top end of the design spectrum this year.
We are used to a lower amount that the Rusty award winners, but not since 2012 has the top been this low. 2023 saw........

2022 A+ Awards

2022 AutoLooks A+ Award Winner Is......

AutoLooks A+ Awards

This years winner is from a company who has come close to winning a few times. But it always seems the competition had the upper hand. So, for 2022 they stepped up their game and really took retro inspiration and mixed it perfectly with their new age design language. This helped make this years winner, a winner in every respect. But who is it, you may be surprised.

2020 A+ Awards

AND THE 2020 A+ AWARD WINNER IS......

2020 A+ Awards

After a long battle with an ever changing corporate owner and a lack of proper resources, it seems that Lotus is finally back on track to take on the world. Our new top dog in the Lotus stable may not be the ever desired Esprit model, but the Evija has it where it counts. And not only with its styling, but with its all new power plant as well. Lotus has really stepped out of their shell with the Evija and we are glad that they did.

2019 A+ Awards

3/23/2021

AND THE 2019 A+ AWARD WINNER IS......

2016 A+ Awards

Well it really seems like if you never give up, then someday you too will be Saturday night. That is true this year given that two (2) of out top spots go to companies that have had their great models floating around for a few years. But this year seems more about what everyone can update rather than what new products they could create. As our list this year only contains two (2) completely new entries.

2018 A+ Awards

AND THE 2019 A+ AWARD WINNER IS......

2018 A+ Awards

2018 was a year about mediocrity. It showed us that companies have given up caring about their designs and are now only focusing on new technology. Sure in the future technology will win, but there will be a point when people again will ask for a better looking product. And that is where we come in.

2017 A+ Awards

3/23/2021

AND THE 2017 A+ AWARD WINNER IS......

THE RESULTS ARE IN AND A REBIRTH COMPANY HAS CLAIMED THE TITLE.

2017 A+ Awards

Another year and another best list for us. Sure this year there were more vehicles over the 50% mark than any other year and I guess that would be a good thing. The one great thing for this year was that automotive design language is finally starting to change. I guess we can thank the BMW i8 for the change from bubbles and hard edges, to futuristic caves and crevasses.

2016 A+ Awards

3/23/2021

AND THE 2016 A+ AWARD WINNER IS......

2016 A+ Awards

Well it seems that it was true, 2016 was set to be a better year than 2015 and as our marks have proven, the numbers are better. Sure there are more cars in the Rusty territory, but you can never bet on a lot of cars getting it right. For 2016 it seems that rebirth seems to the biggest highlight. As three of our top 10 are rebirth cars.

2015 A+ Awards

3/23/2021

And the 2015 A+ Award Winner is.......

2015 A+ Awards

Seems that after coming in seventh last year wasn't good enough for Chevrolet and the Corvette. With the rise from 7th to first, the new Z06 has certainly beaten all of the rest. Of course last year it had to compete with the LaFerrari, 918, i8 and Hypersport. This year the crowd of sports and supercars has dropped significantly, paving the way for more aftermarket product to take the lead on design.

About

AutoLooks "RATED" is where we rate and review vehicles from around the world from every segment of the automotive industry. Our 1,215 point system is based on Four (4) key areas of automotive design.
AutoLooks rates the Front End, Rear End, Side and Overall Appeal of each and every new vehicle from around the world.
If they rate above 75%, they receive our A+ AWARD for design excellence.
If our rating system turns up a score below 45%, then that model will receive our RUSTY AWARD of design failure.
And don't think of borrowing to many design features from another company, or you will wind up taking home our COPYCAT AWARD. This award outlines which model they are borrowing from and how close they are to the original
At the end of each year, AutoLooks puts together all of the their information into one easy to read article which outlines the best, worst, lost and new products from each year.
So join us on our journey of automotive criticism and take a look on our RATED pages to see how well each company, segment and model fair against their rivals.
