Cross sections for elastic and inelastic pion scattering from ${}_{}{}^{12}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{C}$ at 162 MeV at angles from 8° to 32° are presented. Standard static model distorted-wave impulse approximation calculations using realistic form factors show large disagreement with the forward angle data for elastic scattering and for exciting both the $2_1^{+}$ and $0_2^{+}$ states.
