Still looks like ass.

I'll stop using the term "colored" as soon as they do.
I'm somewhat of an enigma: an atheist conservative.

Well no, it doesn't look as nice as a G35 coupe or anything, but it still looks pretty nice in my opinion.

I don't know how in the world they could have done any product testing and ANYONE thought that the Aztek looked cool.

Worst car ever.

Probably designed by some big wig's relative.

I'm not sure how many would agree with me.

I'm liking that Aztek. I would have never imagined...
The real question is 'How much does that body kit cost?' I bet the body upgrade/wheels were about 1/2 the price of the car.

I'd like to see a Magnum get customized, preferably the front grille. Ca$h - got anything?

Looks like a pseudo-futuristic vehicle in a sci-fi B-movie.

I like hertz better...maybe a car I would rent for a few days, but not worth buying.

The Pontiac Aztek can actually look GOOD.

If by good you mean "really, really bad", then yes. That car looks "good". No wait, not good, that other thing, yeah...bad. But not good-bad, just old-fashioned, "not good" bad.

I'm still convinced that inspiration came to the Aztek designers after seeing one of these on the way to work one morning.

Well, be all high and mighty if you like, but it looks better than what most people drive (camry, accord, jetta, impala, intrepid, etc)
