LOL@ Aztek!

You have to seriously start believing that GM is cutting on quality design staff, pocketing the money and locking monkeys in a room with software design templates. It IS the ugliest car ever, and I include all 80s era American cars(what the hell was with Ford's front designs in that time?!!)

Having heavy associations with Asians the last several years, the bulk of them love the Japanese cars because of 1)hot rodding factor, just look at Fast and the Furious 2)affordable 3)some perverted sense of Asian solidarity. I actually had a Vietnamese girl tell me she wanted Japanese cars only because of that. My current girl said something similar(though based on engineering) and I pointed out that Japan did nothing for Asia, while it was American treasure and blood that was spent on keeping them free, be it from Commies or the Japs.

I'd rather have an SUV or pickup and that's where American companies still hold an edge, at least for most of the market. My girlfriend practically shouts out loud when she sees an RSX, and while it ain't a bad car, it is a "ricer" and I have eyes for either 50s designs or larger, modern cars(I like the Jag XK8 from about 4-5 years ago)

aztek is made in mexico.

I had a korean aquaintence tell me anyone in her family who did not buy a korean or japanese car was somehow unloyal to their family. She was a naturalized us citizen!
When I pointed this out she said its my choice. She drove a hundai.

People have to want to buy GM products. They can't be forced to buy GM. The union needs some serious enlighted self interest, stockholders need to stop the dinosaur managment through the stockholder meetings.

Remember when IBM was so bloated they were going to disapear. They revamped managment and survived.
