The Edsel concepts were very interesting. But when the engineers and bean counters got done with it they were just reskinned fords and mercurys, and bizarre looking ones at that.The Pontiac Aztek was a very well built car. But it was butt ugly. The Buick version of the Aztek sold very nicely. Under the skin. And in the interior they were very similar. But the more traditional styling saved it from the Pontiacs fate.

Yes and No. Yes it was butt ugly - but by today's standards - it's rather plain and dull.

And No - it was NOT well built. Full of cheap plastic GM parts; anemic small V6 engine; Dex Cool antifreeze that ate up head gaskets and transmissions that failed prematurely.

Ask me how I know.
