I never understood if their fins were swept for reasons aerodynamic, structural, or merely cosmetic!
I've read that the swept fin and the rear-view windows ("Omnivision") were a marketing exercise. The change in the rear-fuselage shape caused increased drag, so that the Omnivision Cessnas are slower than their predecessors!

Never mind, it LOOKS faster.
