I bet the 505 design looks very "modernist" to the current set of designers, which is why it seems a little bit ugly to us. Little feet, funny nose, big swash plate housing mould, underslung stabiliser, minimalist interior... I think you need to be wearing a black turtleneck pullover to be seen in such a thing. Hang on, didn't the turtleneck jumper feature in the sales pitch of the 206 when it was first released, just a different colour.
I notice they've kept the retro cork throttle grip theme but improved the seats, has the headroom improved?
Now the 429 is a true pilots office with everything done proper, but that's a different story.

Reason: Wishing I had a turtleneck jumper.
