I agree... the guy who dreamed up the Aztec must be
intoxicated or something...

I was unfortunate enough to drive one for two days,
while my RX was in for service. The dealer ran out of
loaners and had to use Enterprise Car Rental....
I was the laughing stock of the neighborhood for
two days... I parked it a block away from my house...

The only good thing is that it was extremely clean.
Had only 80 miles on it... The Enterprise guy told
nobody ever wanted to rent it...

what has been happening in the auto industry recently is terrible... i have been looking at all the upcoming models and though i cannot complain about the interior asthetics of ANY luxury car (except in terms of versatility)... mb has gotten cheaper and no longer holds the status it once did... example: the new c-class hatchback. why didnt mb just create a different nameplate for the car rather than stamp an mb logo onto it? just like toyota did for lexus but the other way around? i hate to be honest but the v6 that they have in there is garbage, they would have better entusiast sales if they made an inline 6 and slapped a "kompressor" supercharger into it... bmw made a smart move by discontinuing its hatchback and though i have no complaints about bmw in its $30-60k price range, i feel that the z8 is waaaay overpriced and somewhat ugly (from behind) the new 7 series is not amusing whatsoever from the exterior standpoint... it looks extremly dull and not even the sport packaging looks like it would do it any justice... im not even going to touch up upon GM designs but i could say that chrysler and mb arent on the same page... have you guys seen the crossfire? pt cruiser instant hit? 300M? new rwd's for all the full size cars? they are doing something very right (though the depreciation rate of a chrysler is faster than the lions fans walking out of the game this weekend against the rams)... one of the newer nicer cars mb sl... its gotta be the nicest looking car in the world... also the new M3.. though the fact that bmw just released it and all of a sudden gave the 3 series a facelift for 2002 make absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.... oh yeah... the ford thunderbird... lol... looks just like a restored old one... the ssr is nice but overpriced and impractical... the pontiac vibe is a good comback for the aztec but the pontiac name still has a lot of dirt on it because of that mishap... with that i conclude...

Exactly what I thought. So I rushed to buy my 01 330ia.
I also think the new camry look better than the current one but the new ES300 doesn’t.
