FRC or Hatchback
Which looks better? IMO the hatchback is so much better looking! It looks better from the side. If its a black hatchback it looks like the bat mobile!
FRC's just arent there for me lol

They both look great. I wanted an FRC, but ended up with a hatchback due to the extra storage space.

The discussion is kinda moot, as no one has the same taste in
anything , let alone the style of a car. To each his own and enjoy what you like.

I love the profile of the FRC and 'vert. Personal choice. The greenhouse just doesn't do it for me.

Like the others have stated, it's in your heart. Personally, I like them both. The Coupe looks better from certain angles than an FRC. And then, an FRC will look better at various angles that the Coupe just doesn't. I feel the shape of the C5 is a tricky piece of art that inspires interpretation like no other automobile.

Ok...
Your right...
I have had verts before and don't like the worry of someone getting in my car with a penknife...or the wind/rain thing.
I do prefer the "hatchback" as you can still get some sun on the noggin..yet have an airtight seal in the bad/cold weather..
Drive safe...

I have a coupe, but I like the hardtop (frc and zo6) design better. The only thing I would miss would be the targa top.
