Look how well all the seams and cut-lines were managed on the Airflite; door, hatch and hood openings all are perfectly integrated into the design.
Now look at a Sebring...clunky thick door frames spoil the roof line, hood and trunk openings have seams ruining the flow of the styling themes. And the overall proportion of the car is tall, blocky and thick waisted. It's just a chubby clunky mess !
I'm afraid Chrysler has lost some critical personnel in the design department !

To me the 350Z is in the same boat. It has the profile of a toad, but could have been a stunner with slight design alterations.

As for the 350Z, I have always liked how it looks. It looks modern and has a nice stance and profile. To each their own.
