C4
Here is the final answer so we can clear this topic up. The C4 was designed to look like a door stop. If you look at the side veiw, you can clearly see the designers like the look of door stops. JMO................

This is what I came up with
The new C4 was penned by Design Chief Jerry Palmer. The goal was to keep the Corvette identity, which they did. The new car was unmistakably a Corvette. The rear view actually was similar to the 1968 - 1973 models as opposed to the 1974 and later years when the federally mandated bumper protruded outward. Technology had advanced over the ten years the regulations were in effect and designers were in a better position to design what they wanted. The four round tail lights - a significant Corvette styling cue - were still prominent.
