In my opinion I think it would be more sought after since it gives it a cleaner more modern look but if I found a clean Cutlass I certainly wouldn't pass it up if it didn't have the euro clip, I think both styles actually look good.

Yeah personally I prefer the older clip. But the euro clip is ok too.

the euro clip is a cleaner look, no doubt. But the older clip gives it more muscle car looks....just my opinion...

It's more rare since it was only made for 2 years which also means it commands a bigger price than the other style. More sought after though is more of a personal preference.

I like mine because of what 565 mentioned above. Cleaner more modern look.

Yeah I sorta prefer the muscle car look over a modern look. The euro clip looks a little too "90s fwd sedan" to me. Don't get me wrong, I like the euro clip, but not as much as I like the older one.

I prefer the older style, I think the euro makes them look too much like a cutlass ciera
