1. The backward-slanted window and C-pillar on the Citroen Ami gave me the impression that it was very back-heavy, like it would just fall back on its rear bumper at any moment and stay there. Good for keeping the sun out of the rear occupant’s heads.

2. The crooked-edge rear quarter window on the Honda Oddessey. The designer must’ve sneezed at that point. Also notable on the Genesis coupé.

I like the Genesis’ window lines because not only is it fairly unique in a class where beltlines are all typically similar (very high), it also gives you slightly better visibility I would assume, a sorely lacking quality in sport coupes.

Look at the interior in that shot, the dip is cosmetic.

At least the back window rolls down.

The Ford Anglia take on that rear window just looks like someone stole its liftback to put on a Jensen Interceptor.

I think there are a lot of European cars that look funny, like that Citroen. I’m not a huge fan of American cars, but I find they’re generally easier to digest.

One example is this. It just looks...misshapen. Mish-mash. It’s sort of cool. But it’s much harder to enjoy than your Average American sports car.
