TNforE0, I took your dare.

MY EYES, MY EYES!!!

The new definition for retro Aztek styling. What idiot thought the seven-slot grill should now be bent over ?? Sweaters and car design should be allowed to live together like that at Fiat-Chrysler!

Here's a blast from the past: Gremlin. Yes, it was a real car. Look it up. Also, all those stupid boxy cars that are so popular with some people. I hate them and think they look like a tissue box that's been abused.

Why does everyone pick on the Aztek ?

It's really not a bad car , everything inside and out is well thought out
I had one for a short time , it was bought for resale so i only drove it for 2 months

I think it was great , handled ok , quiet , a real pleasure to use

repairs where just a tough as any GM mini van

Communist East German Trabant. I saw a few of the more wealthy people who had this vehicle when I was a young girl.

The Aztec wins high marks for ugly. Older models of the Kia Rio - is it an egg or is it a car?

As for the Gremlin,it was America's first sub-compact.Can the same be said of the early Volkswagen Rabbits as ugly? Both cars are basically the same in appearance.The only difference was the Gremlin came as a 2 door and the Rabbit 2 or 4 door.Both cars had the rear hatch back design.Now fast forward to the renamed Golf.It seems like others also copied the Gremlin.Lets see what comes to mind....Pinto,Vega,Chevette,Monza to name a few.
The most sought Rabbit is the 1984 GTI.

The Matador coupe was actually named "Best Styled Car" in 1974 by the editors of Car & Driver

Most of you all say the Pacer.But the Pacer wagon is a neat car.So is the Pacer X when done up with the stock AMC rims.Certain colors do not make the car appealing.
