The Cirrus is the best looking Single, how could you even say Cessna
Cardinal in the same breath. The Cherokee is a lot better looking than the
Cardinal. The Bonanza A36 is a pretty good looking Single also.

jmho,
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. IMHO, the Cirrus can't hold a
candle to the Cardinal when it comes to good look. Our Cardinal will
the best looking plane on any field after its paint job ;-)

Longworth,

Well, in your case, beauty seems to be in the eye of the owner ;-)

Tom,

We were the beholders before becoming the owners of our Cardinal.
It was much harder to locate a Cardinal than a Skyhawk or an Archer but
once we dediced it was the right plane, we kept searching (for almost 2
years) until finding one. We were first interested in the Cardinal for
its lack of struts, the two large doors and big cargo area. It was a
pleasant surprise to see that it was also a swan among its ugly
duckling siblings, the 172s.

Lets put your freshly painted cardinal on the field next to a Cirrus any
Cirrus I might add and start asking people what they think looks better. I
bet the Cardinal doesn't get one vote.

I bet it does. It would certainly get mine. The Cirrus is pretty plain
vanilla looking. I find the curve of the tail partricularly ugly.

Aluckyguess,
What is your wager? Hey, I already got two votes from Dave and
Matt eventhough my plane is still in the paint shop ;-)
