EVERY car maker has AT LEAST one or two they wish they could take back. The Aztek is one of GM's. The sad thing is the Aztek was GM "consumer clinic" styling at it's worst. The Aztek, as penned by Tom Peters, was a cool looking truck. Once the clinics and product (?) guys got through with it, it was loaded with the stupid plastic cladding and shockingly ugly. Of course, this is the era of the ugliest Impala/Malibu in history as the now infamous "Vehicle Line Engineers" weren't worried with the actually salability of the product, just that the car came in under budget (gimme that BONUS). You can thank the C6's crappy interior for that also, BTW.

True. The new Civic (yikes), the new Prius (Darth Vader called, he wants his helmet back), the Nissan Juke (I think they meant to use an "O" instead of a "U"), the Toyota Miraj (thankfully, only Californians have to look at it), etc...Compared to the above, the Aztek ain't half bad.

They were designed entirely different, on purpose, for two different markets.
Hard to believe that the two cars had the same parents.
After GM flushed the Aztek down the toilet, they kept the Rendezvous in production for a while longer, as it was selling.

She could have bought it's sister, the Buick Rendezvous. Way better looking but with the same utility.

You could argue () that 1985 is in disagreement with JMLS' opinion. And predicts that by publicly disagreeing, it will lead to an argument. He therefore presents the premise that you cannot fairly compare a production vehicle's design characteristics with an in development vehicle that is covered in camouflage specifically to hide any design characteristics.
Sounds like a reasonable argument to me...

That was actually an opinion not an argument.

I appreciate that comment. Thank you. Some people on here really like to put me through the fire. Hahahaha. I'll be up against much tougher than these guys in the future. Any fire I come up against will just make me shine brighter.
I've been away for a week. I was going to respond to some of this trivial nonsense last Sunday night, but the concert shooting happened. This is relatively insignificant to so many people being hurt and killed.

And I like to get away every once in a while. I can't always respond to every little thing on here. I haven't even read everything that was said about me in this thread yet. I'll go read it now and see if I want to make any comments.

Nice photo absolutely beautiful scenery. Looks like a great place to get away from it all! I am jealous I live in FL and everything is flat and no scenery even close to the beautiful mountains and stream in your photo.
Thanks for sharing!!

Awesome photo, and you should spend your spare time photographing nature's beauty, instead of wasting your time trying to design automobiles.
