I have a C3 and love the styling and power, however I saw a black C4 today and man I love the way they look! The way they sit and the styling is awesome. You guys never get the respect you deserve! Just thought I would share!

The C4 will rise again. Just look at what is happening to the rubber bumper C3s. It was not too long ago that you could barely give one away. Now their value seems to be on the rise.
Even some of the chrome bumper C3 owners have tried to blend into the background as evidenced by this one:

I loved my C3 and never really liked the newer models, a couple of years ago I began looking closer at the C4 and it began growing on me and next thing I had to have one. So now I love my C4. Just hoping the C5 and C6 dont start growing on me, I will probably end up in a divorce......

I'll bet that guy thought they were just "plain cigarettes" he was smoking when he was painting that car! What a waste of a nice C3.
