Imagine how many more they would sell if they designed a nice looking rear !!!
exactly, nobody wants to drop that kinda coin and have people think that it is the new "Camaro"

Like everything but the contrasting roof and halo bar (they should be the same color or both blacked out) and I do not like the fender vents. The rest is an AMAZING base car. I can't wait for the Z.

Don't underplay that very important "first impression".

photo of original Aztek., Not everyone hated it but enough vocal people made GM run back to the drawing board.


Second version of the Aztek. Toned down without the crappy black cladding. But the first impression made it impossible for GM to overcome the negative first impression.



Compare to the Buick version of the same vehicle. Traditional styling and still in production, unlike the Aztek.



Reminds me of the current droopy pants styling geared for the younger folks. Ain't no way this 70 year old is going to wear his pants below his ***. You want to sell me a new set of clothes, design them for for me, not some young kid's fad.

It's a striking car in person-saw it last night at the auto show charity preview. Just sold my 1969 and will be ordering a 2014 on Tuesday.

Yes. More people like the rear end. As I said before, where is your proof? I'm getting sick and tired of trying to debate people who rely strictly on their emotions.

I gave you more proof than the **** poor posts you've made, have given. Until you can refute what I said with actual facts, you have zero credibility.

Try again ..
One poll was on the overall car.

One poll was on the rear end.

The third poll was about replacing GM's tail lights with round tail lights.

Try again? You're the one who hasn't posted crap. Put up or shut up. I don't have the free time to argue with idiots.

I've been here longer than you. I've been in the C7 section longer than you. And I actually plan on buying a C7 when the midyears come out with their updates. Why should someone who LIKES the C7 and plans on BUYING one, leave?

That's your opinion. And it's not the popular one either as everyone can plainly see by this poll.

Why do people get all butthurt because some complete stranger does not share their opinon and does not like the rear end of the C7. Does it REALLY matter to you if "Joe Stranger" does not like it just because you do?

Seriously.
