From what i've seen so far, this is the 'best' looker. Mind you that's not going to be difficult.
It does look quite different from the Ferrari and Toyota it has to be said. |

Everything about the car looks great ... apart from the rear wing. I guess I'm in the minority that likes full width front wings, then.

I'm hoping someone will reveal something radical and startling, in the walrus nose / shark fin vein.

Nose looks like the Arrows FA17
 - welcome back to the mid-90's.It's not bad mind. I liked the Arrows. However, as said in the first post - meh, not a lot to distinguish the cars anymore but the nose again. |

It just looks good. Been a while since we've seen them, apart from the Honda's.

I noticed the numbers as well. These days having big numbers on an F1 car usually means "we haven't sold this space yet". Wonder if they have lost a smaller sponsor over the winter?

3rd car out and still undecided what i think of the new shape but this one is the nicest so far. although i think it might have to do with the colour scheme/ livery which imo could make anything look good
have they found a different solution with their side pods? less sculpted than the Ferrari? |

I like how they have incorparated the exhausts with the side-pods. Looks smart i think

The McLaren is the worst of the 09 cars so far for me. Its maybe the ugliest car I have ever seen McLaren design.
