These are very interesting posts. It's true that angle of shooting, and focal length of the lens used can distort a picture, and I have to admit that I use wide angle lenses quite a lot because, for some subjects, I like the distorted effect. Shown below is one of my shots of a Flavia Sport, which I'm quite fond of.
The Flavia Sport is a car I never liked in photographs. Then I saw my first one "in the metal" and thought it was fantastic. For definition of "fantastic" see below. I prefer the second but I think both fit the car. Take your pick!

2. informal: “extraordinarily good or attractive” synonyms: tremendous, remarkable, great, terrific, striking, impressive, outstanding, phenomenal, monumental, overwhelming
