I know that there's a lot of "borrowing" in the biz.. but Ford cheated.

For the price, it's one of the better designs GM has concieved.
I tried to ignore price as much as possible.

They can't all be $50k-plus roadsters and coupes. :run:
my original question was based on pure aesthetics of a car only. regardless of whether it was a $200k car or a $20k car.

what i dont understand is why does it seem like all the american auto manufacturers have such shitty/cheap-looking designs?? is it like the pro-sports and american companies get the last pics in the "transportation design artists draft pick"????

Then you've got my answer.
With cost no object.. standard C6 Coupe.

:chuckles:

IMO, either the designers suck or there's too much corporate penny-pinching and interference.
I tend to think it's the latter because of designs like the C6 and the Sky.
