What do you think is the 8's worst angle? I think from the front, 3/4 view.

Best is head on and rear 3/4. I can't wait to get one... these are the things I've begun thinking about since I am not ready to buy quite this month.

I don't like its butt. Direct view from behind the *** is the worst, IMHO. Too high and narrow. I like pretty much every other angle.

Any view except the one I get from behind the steering wheel!

Think of the millions of unfortunate people who've never seen that!

The rear - it needs the MS kit or the Fabulous kit, or something. I hate that fake plastic crappy grill job they did. Makes it look cheap.

Y'all are some witty bastards. Yeah, I agree the rear view is kinda narrow. But I love the other views a lot. I am one of those poor saps who doesn't get to sit behind wheel on the daily.

The rear half from the side. The way the rear window and the two rear side windows just don't flow very well IMO.

I think it looks great from all angles....If it has a bad view, I would have to say straight on from either side. Looks a little high..

Straight on side view to me is perhaps the blandest.

my dad seems to think the worst angle is if you stand at the drivers door, take a half step away from the car and look at the front fender, he says it looks like a PT Cruiser

Butt! Don’t like it. It's too bulky and I don't think anything will help it except a re-design.

I happen to agree with your father on that one, although that's really the only angle I don't care for, it mainly has to do with the fender vents, I think they make the fenders look a little too wide.

I don't like the angle from the front diagonal view for cars with the OEM spoiler.

I don't like the view from underneith...ugly oil pan gets in the way of seeing the pretty battery. Plus, my hair gets all tangled up in the parking brake cable.

Some days I like the back half , like from the free style doors to the rear , other days I don't . At work when I see it from inside it looks bad to me , but up close it looks good . I think if they would have made the *** end a little bigger and a long back window would have been better . But! I still love my car

I really like all the views. But the one I like least is 3/4 from the rear. But at ground level this view is nice, too.

I totally agree. I have a pretty large distaste for the pt cruiser. The first 8 I saw was yellow and all I couldn't get past the pt cruiser like front fenders.

Many months later I saw a Titan and thought stealth bomber
