      Not offended in the least.

      But I think when the height of the little space under the sills gets below some percentage of its length that the overall appearance has begun to get distorted, and the ratio of things like body side height to clearance doesn't look quite right. Sectioning and chopping the car can help, to a point.

      I think a car has to at least look like it could function as transportation and not just exist as static sculpture (or a non-driveable concept car, if done by an OE).

      Right, because being as low as the car can possibly be is priority #1 with a Pro-Touring car....
