I think it depends on what you grew up with... I grew up with 3s and I think
the 4s-6 are boxy...
I do like the wedges tho. but I am an 80s child

Yeah, hard to believe!
But if you read the article, the author refers to the 3s as elegant but were
replaces by boxy cars!
I have never thought that the 4, 4a, 250 or 6 were boxy at all!!! Refined
maybe.
And the Spits, GT6s?
Just to be sure I went in the garage and took the covers off the 3 and 4.
Yes quite different but both elegant in my mind!
And they also refer to the new Triumph motorcycles as robots.
So I took the cover off my 98 T-Bird. Hmm looks like a classic to my eyes!
Well it is hovering at about 15F so I covered up the iron and went back to
warm up.
