Default Am I Normal?

Okay. I've been wondering about this so I thought I'd ask. Is it INSANE that I love the rear bumper (square lights) of a 91-96 and the front bumper of an 84-90 at the same time? There's something about the front fascia that, to me, looks meaner on the older C4s. Everything else (side grills, third brakelight in bumper, rims) I like on a 91 and up.

That's cool. I used to like the 'newer' front end combined with the 'older' rear end.....never moded the my car though; thought it might look funny to an enthusiast! My .02 worth! :flag

To each his own. Doesn't sound weird to me. I wish they would've kept the third taillight on top, but oh well.

Whatever your taste is that is valid for you. I had a 56 Covette and I knew it was cute but I really didn't appreciate what I had then. When I saw the Jag. XKE that's what I wanted. Now I have the 92 and I am comfortable with it's looks. Not overwelmed but satisfied. I am more impressed by the performace thus I would find a C-5 attractive.

Handsome is as handsome does.

However the look of the Viper turns me off. That car is ugly to my taste.

I'm just the opposite. Like the newer front end with the notched rear bumper.

I think the early model looks more aggressive. I like the round tail lights and the gills better.

But the later model looks more modern, as it's supposed to.

I'd take either.

lol, I like it the other way around, I like the crisp/clean rear of the early style and the crisp/clean front of the new style.

The roundness of the new rear and old front doesn't do anything for me.

What he said.

I also agree with Nat96LT4 - I wish they never removed the third brake light from above the rear window.
