Default why ?

why are c4's so flat in the front ?
this is not a slam, but i was thinking there was a real reason for this.
i do know there is some curves in the hood but compared to a c2, c3 and c5
there very flat.
so are there a reason for it being so flat?
thanx,
and i repeat ( this is not a slam on the c4 )

Not as flat as a Fiero. :)

Just the styling of the time, I suppose.

There's sure something about the C3's curves that really grabs your attention and says hey, look at ME. :D

I still like the subtle elegance of the C4. :cool:
