The C4 guys are gonna love this thread! 
While the C4 is least appealing to me, there are alot of things I like about the C4. The clamshell hood is very cool. It had the second longest run of any generation. First convertible in 1986 since 1975. It brought back Corvette performance to world class levels in the early 90s.

I'd have to say the C1. Just doesn't do much for me in terms of styling.

I like them all. The more I learn about the differences the more I like them all. They have been getting better with each generation. What's not to like.

Poll needs to separate the C3's into 1968-1973 and 1974-1982. The early C3's were nice, the later ones look like dog squeeze.
I'm really surprised about all the negative comments about the C4's styling. I've always heard that the assembly and quality of C4's wasn't the best, but in terms of styling, I always thought they were good looking cars.

C1- Grandmas car 
C2- I like it
C3- To many curves/slopes
C4- To flat looks like a door wedge
c5- This car flows really nice and smooth
C6- Lines to sharp doesn't flow like the C5 but would be my second choice.

This is a difficult poll to answer, given the limited choices. The early/late model C1, C3 and (to a lesser degree) C4 look entirely different. They're all vettes though, so they are all

I'm very surprised to see the C4 leading the poll for least liked. I guess I was just assuming that most of us C5 owners owned one before moving up to the C5. The looks of the early C4's were probably my least favorite of all Vettes produced, but the body upgrades made in 91 were a huge improvement. I had a 96 Collector Edition, and I have to say that it was an AWESOME Vette! In fact I still feel that 91 thru 96 C4's were among the best looking Vettes ever produced. I do of course prefer my C5 over the C4's, but the later C4's truly are a great machine. I wish I could afford one of each. Better yet, one of each generation No vote from me though ... I love them all!

Yep. Im not gonna vote either. I love EVERY VETTE! Each one has something unique that I admire.
Having said that...I hit puberty just when the '82 was out...fell in love with them curves!
Then when the C4 came out...I was like "Where are my curves?" Still a cool car and the performance skyrocketed so I still wanted one.
Then the heavens opened up and the C5 descended to earth. LOVE AGAIN! Curve city!
C6...what happened? Still a great car but they are heading away from the rounded sexiness that made the C5 the most beautiful car on the planet (Non Millionairs Club).
But all vettes are awesome. Anyone is lucky to share his life with one.
