c4, it's the 996 in the vw-911 world

I think that the C4 Corvette is the least good looking Corvette. All Corvettes look good when well maintained, but the C4 is a bit bland compared to the other Corvettes.

If you're gonna make me pick, I'd say none are "ugly".
I lean towards the EDIT: base spec C8 though. I'm divisive of the tail end tbh, those rear taillights feel almost about the only thing that remind me it's still a Corvette, which if gone, I'd have been able to be convinced it was a completely different car altogether lol. The car changed proportions so much to fit the changed layout though, so it's not an unjustified change. I see it from some angles I quite like it, meanwhile from other angles it seems bulky or "pinched" and somewhat unappealing.
Like this I'm not really much a fan of:

But this I really like, hopefully I'm explaining this well:

Granted, two different trims, but it gives a whole different vibe to me. Idk, maybe I'm not alone on this or maybe I am lol. 🤷♂️
I feel like it's those vents at the sides of the rear bumper... 🤔
EDIT: Yeah the more I look at it, the base C8 bumper vents are what feel disproportionate. The other trims don't turn me off the same way lol.

I get what you're saying. C8 overall is not ugly, not beautiful and seems to be utilitarian form-follows-function design. Which is OK.
And I agree there is no fully ugly Corvettes, so I can't bring myself to choosing.

Yes form-follows-function is a great way to describe it. I think the base C8 not having the now iconic quad tailpipes might also hurt it a little bit visually too.
I've been staring at this base C8 butt for ages now 😂
