Oh...
I honestly think last years Brawn should go down as one of the classics. Nice shape, very simple livery (I love the cars without too much sponsorship, or just one overriding one, like the old Ferraris or the current Renault), and creamed the floor with the opposition for a lot of the season. 
That's no moon!
A giant of a car, but asthetically not as nice in my opinion as the n/a cars with an airbox
Mp4-5B for example.
For me thats almost car perfection.
Was given a close up walk around of one a few years ago - there isn't a single angle where it looks like anything could have been slimmed down or made lighter. I nearly had a crisis.

I find the current Renault to be an eyesore and the McLaren to be the nicest.
My current beef with F1 design is the shark fin business. It makes even the nicest looking cars look even more peculiar, over long and cumbersome. Yet the 2008 cars marked the low point in F1 design. That nasty 'flips and flaps' era has a lot to answer for.
As for the nicest ever? Well, I'm more of a late 80's guy when it comes to F1 car crushes, but my absolute favourite is a Lotus 49.

Always like the Brabhams - the BT55 probably being the best looking, though not very succesful.
