What is the best looking Airbus everbuilt. The concept A350 design win for me. But for current Airbuses I have to say A330.

But the A380 is still my favorite current Airbus, I just not that good looking.

Mine would be one of the A330's, but the specific one would depend on -200/300 and engine version.

I think the A332 in BD colours is the best looking Airbus, but without those colours I would have to say the A333 is better looking IMO

I agree. The A346 reminds me a bit of a stretch DC-8. However, the above photo is quite flattering to the A346.

I love the A340-300, the hair dryer engines give it that extra sleek look to it. I don't care for the A320, but the A319 and A321 look quite nice, as does the A310.

I concur, the RR trent 700 engines have nice clean lines, although they stand out better with a differing colour from the fuse:
