About the only time I'd ever get a view like that is when I've been drinking all night with the quirrels and I'm crawling home on my belly.

Straight on views are hot. The worst is when you look at it from the side. The side shot (like most cars) looks bad. This is increased when the car is not lowered too.

this is prolly my least fav angle:



not a fan of the "from-above-side/profile-with-top-up" views
it looses all its shapes and curves, kinda resembling a hot dog...

...and for all your angle obsession funs check out the jdm simulator

I agree w/ the OP 100%. Dont get me wrong i love the way this car looks but there were times when i parked my car in certain positions that made it look like it was lifted an inch. I feel the S comes w/ an aggressive stance already but i feel that it might have been the angle in which i was looking at it or possibly where i had it park that made it seem higher than it was. Or maybe i was that big crack rock i smoked before, who knows??

I'd have to disagree with some of you. I think the profile view (or side view) is one of the sexiest angles of the car. Especially how the front fender appears to have almost zero overhang and run flat from across the hood. Looks like it would belong on a race car.

As you can see, "ugly" is in the eye of the beholder and that's all good. We are all entitled to what we view as beauty or ugly. Some have narrowed it down to the side profile as being ugly, yet others have come along to say this is the most attractive angle.
You really wanna see what I think is a truely ugly angle on an S2000?

Imagine already being home drunk, winding up in the garage, and your wife pulling in in your S. By the way, what's a quirrel, eh?

"Quirrels" is the drunk version of "squirrels".

We call 'em long tailed rats at that point. Especially if they've made their way into the garage.
