cool-looking cars

[sub006]

I personally liked the Aztek front end, it had personality, cute like a bulldog puppy.

What was ugly to me was the side profile, with the slanting roofline. This doesn't work on the BMW X6 and several other examples. Someday I want to cut the rear roof off a Buick (Endeavor?) and graft it onto an Aztek.

PS: I also think GM should have put a hybrid drive system in the car and called it the Aztech. Would have looked nicer than a Prius and sold like hotcakes.

The Aztec was the AMC Pacer of its day..... a reliable, functional vehicle with unconventional styling, but pretty advanced packaging concepts for its time.
Yet, people were too shallow to get past the looks and condemned it for something so superficial as styling.

IMO the Aztec looks fine, from a 90's point of view. Yes, the 2-tone effect with paint and plastic was a bit overdone, but so what? Most cars these days have contrived, overdone styling details, like the great big, useless chrome stylized headlight pods that are so prevalent in recent years.
