I voted Euro (I guess I'm biased) It's like choosing blonde or brunette, both are attractive. You have to drive it, who cares what we think :D

A good point was made about availability and price. 4 squares have been around longer and will then be more available to get parts. Still comes down to you. Choose well.

I have always been a 4 eye guy ,

The Euro front has always reminded me of the 1988 FWD Olds , was never a fan of them.

In my opinion 86 style 4 eye is the best looking,I may be a bit biased as I own a 86 442 . my issues with the euro are the side markers, center emblem and small grills...but i do like the headlights lol

I agree. Around the same time period, Grand Ams, Celebrities, Cutlass Cierras.....etc. transitioned to sealed beam headlights.

With both the euro Monte LS and Cutlass header..... it always seemed that GM was trying to modernize a design that didn't need to be modernized.

Yeah, the grill size is my only complaint with the Euro front, my cooling has sucked. Otherwise, I like it better.

I'm always on the lookout so for euro front.
at least on my build i think the euro would compliment the style of build more.
87 Teal Blue 442 is dream cutlass!
I do plan plan on painting my car a similar little more modern shade of teal blue.
There IS NO modern shade of teal blue that will look as good as the original shade. Guaranteed. :)

Here's the two styles up for consideration for those who don't recall the differences.

Euro nose 87-88

Quad Headlight - 81-86
