A toughy but i'd say RS500 (Sierra not Focus) or GT40 or Series 1 RST or Escort Cosworth or Mk2 FRS - too many to chose from. When you think about it they've done some stunning cars.

Good looking for me, I'd say the RS200 is a Cool car. Ugly as sin but does the job it was built for

I'm going to be another person to say "There aren't really any".

I've never looked at a Ford and thought "Wow".
