You say that now but I bet when one drives by you for the first time your next move will be scheduling a doctors appt because you'll whip around so fast you throw your neck out.
Ever hear the classic "Dude, I swear, she looks so much better in person I can't find a good picture of her!" Yeah, well, that's the coupe.

I'm a sedan guy, both W204 and W205.

I think the rear end is the weak link of a lot of ........cars. I think the rear end is the worst part of OUR car. Not sure how true it is or not but I have been told the origin of that is set of guidelines in the EU re pedestrians. Front ends need to be a certain height, have a specified amount of slope etc, and that once you draw the front end and make that work visually and mechanically you are only left with so many options by the time you get to the back.
Kinda makes sense. Car after car after car after car they look great on approach and rather 'meh' as they leave.
I DEFINITELY prefer the sedan in the 204. Don't get me wrong, the coupe can look great, but its an adaptation of the already designed sedan, and you can really see it. At least the 205 coupe looks like its own car so to speak.

It's not an ugly car it is just way to soft and everything oozes that cheap styling you get from hyundai... Looks plastic and that fake exhaust is horrid

I am frequently not the biggest fan of a new design, but at some point it does kick in and thats the one I prefer. Its interesting to me that its been long enough that I should have switched over to preferring the new model, and I haven't, and apparently a lot of other people feel the same. Couple that with the NA 6.2 motor vs the TT 4.0 and I think history will look very kindly on our cars.

The same just hasn't happened to that extent on the W205 Coupe. I do like the sedan, though. It's softer, but I still think it's a pretty car.

I'm the EXACT same way. When I first saw the Aventador, I thought it was the most hidious looking thing compared to the LP640 or LP670. It took me about a year and a half later to fully, not only accept the design, but begin to rather like it.

Or are you saying they are both disproportional and ugly with jelly bean lights?
