c2's, c3's, c'5 are the best curviest models hands down
c6's,c7's aren't bad modern versions
c1's.c'4s are the worst

Best overall from an overall perspective

C7 -- technology and interior. Bad a** looking as well.

C5 -- Such a departure from the under powered C3s and small cockpit C4s. Ride quality was a HUGE improvement.

C6 -- refinement, but lost that sports car feeling. Do like the Wide Bodies though, they are much better looking than Base C6.

C2, C3, C5, C6, C4, C1, I'm haven't form a full opinion on C7 yet I suspect it will be 6th, if not truly c7. For me it seems to have too much of the transformer generation influence. Too many odd angles and straight lines and not enough curves.

I like them all, but if they offered all the models brand new today and they were all the same price and I could only choose one, I would choose the C5. In fact if the C5 was still the current model I would be buying a new one right now.

Only thing that would be better would be a C7 wrapped in a C5 body with minor improvements.
