I don't mind the look of the front mount distributors. I think if the spark plug wires are orderly they look nice. Ideally I'd like to have as much of the rest of the engine compartment wiring hidden from view. Even the heater hoses tend to clutter your view of the motor. If I could hide the windshield wiper and heater fan motors it would clean things up even more. I think a firewall that's relatively empty looks a lot more sanitary too. My brain goes haywire when I look under the hoods of new cars. They've got so much going on with all the hoses and wires running all over the place.
