I've loved 1/2 of that body style since they came out.
The front ( LOOKS ) so sleek.
The rear, not so much.
It's too rounded and the rear glass has the appearance of having less slope than the front of the car.

I never could figure out why that the cD is so poor on those cars.

Point 34 !

They actually are more draggy than the "boxier" car they replace.

I think a boattail looks more proper on the Camaro / Firebird with their long pointed nose.

( To me ) it looks a bit like a Porsche Longtail racer, or a McLaren Speedtail.

I love the way the glass on the car has a nice radius to it when seen from the top.
