Default Every Angle

In looking at other models (C3, C5, C6, and yes C7), there seems to be an "Ugly Angle". C3 has the 70's fiberglass overkill of curves. C5 is not good from the back. C6 from the side is missing somthing. C7- well, I love the overall car, but it looks a little european for me. The C4 has INCREDIBLE lines. Yes, I know I am biased because I own one- BUT I noticed it when I was looking at Vettes before I purchased my C4. The C4 style is... Timeless.

Different strokes I love the lines of the early C3s cant beat em. If they werent so cramped inside along with the lousy suspension Id have another.
C1-2 are timeless the latest gens could care less about. Nice but dont ring my bell.

I think they are a great design also, for many reasons. It was GM's Pride and Joy at one time also...

It's a matter of taste. I personally don't like the rounded look to the bumpers on late (square tail light) C4s, and like the wild lines of C3s.

I guess I'm prejudiced for what I have and what I can't Afford. The C2's are my all time favorite oldie's and the C7 is a technological wonder. I can't afford either. Love the rear view of my LT4; Nicest looking rearend next to my wife's. (No you can't see it.)
