That reminds me of the movie Twins with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito...
Arnold, "I'm your twin brother".
Danny, "Twin? Oh, yeah, I thought I was looking at myself in the mirror..."
Arnold, "We're NOT identical"...

What's really amazing is that the Aztek didn't sell because of it's looks...and so what does GM do? They place a guy (Tom Peters) who had a hand in the styling of the Aztek as the guy in charge of styling the C6...somebody was out to lunch that day...they should have brought back the C5's styling guru...his name escapes me...but he had the right vision.

You're thinking of John Cafaro.

However, I've read many places that the Aztek thing wasn't all Tom Peters' fault. It was a design by committee thing.

I think he did a good job on the C6, anyway.
