Default Another dumb question...

What exactly does a "Coke bottle shape" mean when they refer the the shape of the C3 body. I've read this hundreds of times, and never really understood it. Sorry for the stupidity...

The C3 body is "Pinched" down in the door areas compared to the fenders, kind of like a coke bottle layed down on its side (pointed nose, raised area for the front fenders and the name area on the coke bottle, narrowed down past that, then increases for the rear fenders or the coke base).

If you see a Shark photographed from above, it's not difficult to see a Coke bottle shape there, too.
