How far back do you wanna go? Are you saying you've never seen a Marlin?

The aztec is very ugly. I am just waiting to see how long it's in the line up. Does any one know how it's doing sales wise? I would not want to be in the marketing department at Pontiac.

For those of you who said the Matador & Marlin, may I suggest the Pacer. I heard referred to as a pregnant Gremlin.

For the really senoir members I also suggest The original VW beetle. It was so ugly that it became cute.

You ain't seen ugly 'til you seen a '63-'64 (I THINK) Dodge-Plymouth product. You probably never will, since this body was so confused, I doubt any collector will admit to owning one. One good thing these cars had though, was the indestructible slant six, & would really haul for a lowly Detroit sixbanger.

Talking LMAO

LOL I forget if it was a Gremlin,Pacer, or Chevette(they all suck! does it matter?) that we saw in Vermont(during the Vermont meet) that had a System and aftermarket grapefruit shooter exhaust. I bet with that muffler it could have done 0-60mph in......uh.......Hell it probably couldn't have done 60mph

Thumbs down ugliest car

The Gremlin and Pacer I'd call unique..the Chevette, Swinger and Marlin were just cars of their day, but the Matador was just odd and down right ugly.

I loved the Pacer. But not that wagonized one.

Call me strange (most folks do), but I also really liked the early sixties Plymouth/Dodge products.

Can't say as I've ever had much of an opinion at all about the Matador.

For those that said Avalance, Escalade, etc. please note that they are trucks not cars. Trucks are supposed to look ugly.

Just my opinion.

GM has said that, despite the negative consumer reactions to the Aztek, they will do 'whatever it takes' to sell it. 'Whatever it takes' apparently refers to the very, very minor restyling that the Aztek got this year. Whoopee. I think it'll take more than that.

It's this same mentality that almost led GM to drop the Prizm instead of the Cavalier.

Kudos to GM for improving their initial quality (recent JD Power survey), but I still don't see myself buying one any time soon.

For whoever said something about gm stying vs dc styling and what was daimler benz thinking. When the Germans took over they downsized the BEST VP design engineer in the world how stupid is that. Guess who scooped him GM and take a look at the new concepts at the autoshows. They look so chryslerish. I am a big fan of Bob lutz he is the one who gave the world the prowler, and the soon to come crossfire (way cool car). Aztek changes should only be a total dismissal of the car, but they have made another smaller version of it the "vibe" lol

Unhappy Ya Know....

I just saw one at an intersection on the way to work this morning and .... I don't care how far you all go back... without a doubt, even above the Gremlin and the Pacer... ... that aztec is the ugliest car on the road.... the woman behind the steering wheel even looked embarassed!!! What were they thinking with all of that plastic around an extended lower body? and that front grille looks like a buck toothed cartoon character!!
Then they put what MUST be 13" wheels on the thing....

Oh well... I guess a good salesman can get deepsea divers to by umbrellas!
