Vette(s): 1995 Coupe Red, automatic, all original, haven't changed a thing -- except the tires, battery, stuff like that. You know what I mean!

That's easy. And, I'm only talking about the body. Not engines. or performance.

Purely from a design standpoint the C4 has it all. In a word "Balance". The mark of any good design is balance. Look at a C4 from any angle. It has no "bad" side. The lines are clean, smooth, flowing. Not sharp, or harsh, and in your face like the C3. The C4 harkens back to the mid-years. Total proportion. 

The C5 looks like a train wreck. The front looks like a Firebird from those years. Only that some huge weight has fallen on the hood and squashed it. The sides are blank slabs. The back? Don't get me going. A billboard. They should have put a sticker on it that says; "Your ad here"

Queen could have used this design aspect as the inspiration for there song "Fat bottom girls". Or, that skit on SNL where the whole family had gigantic butts. It's huge, hideous, way out of proportion. In short, the C5 has no "good" side.  
The C6. A lame attempt to fix the C5.
 
I think I'm done now. Good luck.

If I hadn't already made up my mind I would have after reading your post!
I stopped by to see a friend recovering from surgery and take his C6 out for a spin; he doesn't want it seating too long I guess - and yes, this was his idea.  When I came back I parked in the drive way and did a walk around.  You are so absolutely right.  I looked at his, then at mind setting at the curb. 
I drive the the best, I DRIVE A C4!!!!!


Hey someone tell me how to get the photo of my car to show up in the post again.




Love my C4!

check your personal folder as your pic should still be there. if not upload it again. then go into your profile and where it says forum signature there is a square with a tree in the top tool bar. it's for inserting a pic (which would be the one in your personal folder). make sure to  check the box that says show forum signature on every post. scroll to bottom of page and click on save changes.
