I agree. I don't like stock 95-97's cause the tailights make it look kinda like a spaceship, but this tour above is tight!  I don't think they're ugly...I just don't like them.

I didn't ever think mine looked that bad?  I like the way mine looks and feels to drive, and I really like the '95 interior as well. Not to mention, I prefer the responsive feel of the rod shifted '95 trans. I hate the feel of the newer cable ones. They feel like Dodge Omni shifters BTW: I'm an independent who's never voted nor will I ever

Maybe I am biased  , but I always thought the cleanest looking 'tours were the pre-98 SE's. Very European. Limited bling. Nothing to make a cop take notice, but a nice looking car. Period. Erik

Personally, I like the pre-98s better than the later ones overall, especially the rear part of the roofline, which is a little more shallow. And the interior on my '95LX is uber...the only thing I'd possibly change is to put midnight blue SVT leather seats in, but the power seats I have are really comfy.
