Can't pick just one. They were all great.
But my least favorites are the 77/78's (because I don't like the side by side lights, looks like it wants to be a luxury car, to me. I like the ones that came after and ran up till 81), the 75's (also for their nose), and the last of the 3rd Gen's (always heard them called "cat's eye style" - don't care for their noses either, nor the ground effects that fold over themselves for no apparent reason)
On a related topic - why is it that the LS1 fenders look taller than the LT1s? Look at a side view of each - the LS1 seems to have much more fender above the top of the wheel opening up front than the LT1 does. Almost as if the LT1s are sitting lower on the wheels. I don't know if it's just an optical illusion or what.

another poll that will for sure bring up heated debates......I have both an 02 Ram Air, black, and a 78 Trans Am, solar gold. I LOVE the 02, and think it's the best looking GM car made in the past 20yrs. But, that being said, it just still doesn't turn as many heads as my 78 does. Pontiac hit a home run with styling in the 77-78 years. From any angle, they just look mean and fast.

i own a 2002 ws6 and i love it but im an 80s child and i will always love my 89 trans am i used to have and i wana get another one as soon as i can. i think i may like the styling better on my 89 but the 02 is much faster and looks alot meaner.
but i would drop everything for a red 69 trans am 4 speed, 400
