tC is bulbous and awkward looking from certain angles

I agree w/ the original post.

Sometimes when I see my tC from a certain angle I think, "Yeah, it's ok. Nothin' special." But most of the time I think, "Hey that's pretty sweet lookin'."

I love my tC...and I'm secure enough in my tC'ness to say that it's not hot lookin' all the time.

Happy motoring.

Both of those cars are horrible looking. I prefer the sweeping curves of a g35 coupe.
a g35 coupe is also almost twice the price on a tc tho. you can't expect the tc to have curves like a g35. just don't look at your car the wrong way and it will look fine.
Personally, I think that the G35 coupe is hideous -- to me, its enormous rear end reminds me of a Buick. I guess that goes to show that the other guys are right -- to each his own.

I understand what you're saying and agree. That must be why, from some angles I find the rear of the tC "frumpy".

But, because you called xB's "too far out there", I'll have to say from EVERY angle the tc is boring, just from some it's boring AND repulsive.

bwahahaha. J/K.

That's like the ugliest picture of a TC you can find, and the reason it's ugly is the drop doesn't look right with those tires. Other than that I never really noticed it looked awkward except looking at it directly from the front, where it looks so tiny.

I'm glad some people see what I'm sayin. The best comment I think I've seen is this thread is how the glass is curved for headroom. Make's perfect sense. Wish they would have just redesigned the curvature of the rear portion of the car, instead of just sticking in some huge ugly curved piece of glass. Really effs up the tC's looks for a lot of angles, I think.

The point of this thread is that the OP didn't get the car he wanted because he has no money and his parents bought him a very reasonable car rather than an insurance nightmare so he's here whining about it.

Did I cover everything?

I think the reason it looks strange at some angles is because the tC is based on a 4 door chassis, or so i hear

i think car companies know which angle their cars dont look good. And I bet they try to hide it in advertising and brochures . every car has a ugly angles that I know of, unless u go into the exotic section. some cars have multiple ungle angles!

Dude, keep your lame brain comments to yourself. I bought my own car, I needed my dad to cosign, and he didnt want me to have such a huge car payment, like I would with a 350z. Not my fault you're too blind to see that your stock tC looks average and plain. Maybe I'm just jaded because mine looks so good due to all the modding I've done. You prob drive an auto anyway, so what would you know about cars.

Speaking of which, how do I post up some pics I took with my car today after I washed it, I have them on my computer. Do I need to get the pictures hosted before I can post em up? Anyone know of a host I can use? I'll be sure not to post any pictures from the "no no angle" as it shall hensefourth be called.

Not at ALL related, but I saw a crossFire in a profile view driving home today in dim light and thought it was a first gen 240Z. Not just a little, it looks just like it in silhouette until I could make the details out. Weird what light and angles will do (see how I tied that back in? good, huh?)
