For this post, I'm simply going to count the number of polygons present on the C7s rear.
Then, for kicks, ask if anybody has ever seen any car ever percieved as beautiful that had a polygonal styling. Now, on to the counting:
The spoiler is effectively 3. The rear light on the spoiler is one.
Each taillight is effectively 2, mkaing 8. or 11 total so far.
The COMPLETELY NON FUNCTIONAL racoon eyes around the rear lights (only the vent is functional, which did not need to be part of a japanese cartoon robot eye) makes 13.
Call it 17 after the angular way the part of the rear that cuts back into the taillight racoon eye is handled. 2 on each side.
Make it 19 after teh strip of body colored paint that goes down each side. For petes sake at least tapered the body painted part in a little bit. See F430 (unbelievably beautiful rear end on a mediocre car) or even teh Hyundai Veloster.
Make it 21 after seeing the reflectors ont he rear.
Make it 24 after seeing the license plate area and its surroundings, which are curved in real life but tend to look like triangles.
25 for the exhaust outlet area.
27 for the brake vents, on the lower outer parts.
31 for the fake-diffusor (fake because this car has no smooth underbody at all, this is not a diffusor ala GT-R or F430) panels and the parts just under the reflectors.
And I'm being somewhat generous in saying there aren't other polygons back there. 31 polygons.
It looks like a rear designed by Mrs. Johnsons kindergarten class with a scissors. It kind of makes me want to cry.
Toss in the sharp edge of the rear when viewed from the side, the bottom rear, which so clearly could have been curved or at least angled, as it serves no aerodynamic function at all. I want an explanation.
If that explanation is a gigantic, 20 day, cocaine binge in las vegas that blew the entire design budget, so be it, i just want an explanation.
"every line matters" about as much as every line on my ... um, weiner. Seriously. This car has dozens of lines that do not matter.
