You know, I honestly think that the A/C broke in the styling studio on a hot summer day and the clay melted. Look closely at it, it suddenly explains a lot of the styling cues.

It was a poorly-worded comparison I think. It should have said "Makes the Aztec look fantastic."

If I recall correctly, it was their first completely computer designed vehicle and for some reason the angles came out a lot more "pronounced" than they could imagine....I know I heard this somewhere on the interwebs....Wikipedia confirms but alas...has no citation. :/
 
With the revamp to the forums the thread titles are very limited when it comes to length.
 
"Lexus LF-Ch: Production Version of Five-Door Hatchback Rival to BMW 1-Series Scooped!" works...
"Mercedes' future hybrid pickup. The Aztec looks fantastic." still appears to have lots of room.
 
BTW guys...the car is technically Aztek, with a k.

:whistle:
 
And I thought they fired the guy
