"No wonder GM is down...making Azteks that are so butt ugly they remind me of the Pacer."
That gives GM WAY too much credit. The Pacer tried for innovation. And, the Pacer is kind of cute in the same way a dog can be so ugly it's cute, (boston terrier?).
The Aztek is uninspired. Simply a very badly executed copy of everything else out there. It's the poster child for what's wrong with much of GM's product offerings.
By the way, you can get a used Aztek for a great price. Amazingly enough, those things don't have much resale.
They actually outsourced the design of the Aztec to some french gal from Rrenult. Explains alot doesn't it.
Presonnaly, I think she did it as a joke, an insult to Americans. "Stewpid AmeriCANS, they'll buy this!"
