At least you're not pissing on one generation or another based on your personal disdain for it's appearance..

I will take the liberty of breaking some generations into segments due to significant style alterations
1 C5
2 C3 Chrome bumbers
3 C2 Ahhh, Sting Ray! A toss up for 2nd place
4 C3 Plastic bumpers
5 C4
6 C1 Quad Lights
7 C1 2 headlights

-8th and dead last by LARGE MARGIN, the current C6
Its almost as UGLY as the Lotus Elise. At least Vauxhaul had the decency to buy Elise from Lotus and strip them of the REALLY ugly body to make a tolerable looking car...changed out the wimp *** engine too.
I hope the C7 is a stunner, or I'm going to be buying more C5s, maybe a C3 and hopefully a C2 too, until I die.

I always love it when people get their panties in a wad over someone elses opinion... like your opinion is more important than someone elses.
I happen to own a c4 and have had it for 10 years now. When I bought it the C5 was nowhere to be found. However, had it been available when I did buy mine I still would have bought the c4.
My girlfriend owns an 02 vert, and although it is nice on long trips I can honestly say the car has no soul. It does nothing for me. It is way too roomy, quiet and comfortable for my tastes, and I hate the styling of the rear-end. But I can certainly respect others who prefer it. It's just not for me.
To stay on topic:
C4
C2
C3 (68 - 72)
C1
C6
C5
C3 (73 - 82)

C4 (clean, simple and uncluttered)
C5 (would be in top spot if not for its rear)
C2 (radical styling is still a head-turner)
C6 (looks very purposeful...)
C3 (too dated to be attactive, too young to be classic)
C1 (just an old car)

c2 THE corvette
c6 racy and tight. what the c5 should have been
c4 conservative, but it is aging well
c1 classic
c5 bulbous bug shaped
c3 reminds me of amusement park rides. too cartoony
(i like even numbered generations i guess)

C2 ....... C3, C4, C6, C5, C1
Just my personal opinion.
I own a C4 ('85)
Even though C5's and C1's are low on my list, I still think they are awesome corvettes, and better then just about anything else on the road
