Default Rose among thorns

This is the new Pilot, between the old Aztek and Nissan.

Hey now! That is not nice. The Aztek is not a terrible vehicle. Everyone that ever drove with us said they were very pleasantly surprised by the inside...

Easy to clean the vomit up, generated by its exterior appearance? JK, it is good to see GM giving design work to crackheads though.

I still think that GM did a pretty good job on the interior. It has a lot of cargo room, the cargo tray was very useful, and the seats were comfortable, both front and back. That said, my wife and I now have a Pilot, so obviously we were not that impressed with the Aztek. At least GM tried something new with the Aztek. It missed the mark, but at least it was somewhat original. Either way, my wife and I are ecstatic to have the Pilot and may never again buy a non-Honda vehicle.

I'm hope you've realized I am just kidding with you, I've got a GM product as a daily driver and it's been great. GM just missed big time with the exterior design of the Aztek - not many people warm to it. Did it have any resale/trade value?

The fact that I still own it speaks to the resale value! We were offered a high of 4k for that sled. We decided to keep it since the extended warranty has not expired yet.

No worries on the joking. I know that the Aztek was Pontiac's Edsel.

Both the new CRV and new MDX have horrible looking front ends. The 2007 Lincolns are following suit which horrid looking square grid grills. I guess the Tribeca started ugly front ends as a new trend. Maybe the Aztek will actually be in style soon..............

I dunno, I kinda like the new CR-V front end. But hey, just my opinion for what it's worth.

Really shocked by the lowball on the Aztec. We got offered $3K for our '99 Blazer. Took it to save the time/effort of selling it ourselves (Lazy, lazy, lazy!!!)

"Wow! Who would have thought that such a butt-ugly car could have a nice interior???"

Seriously, I've heard good things about the interior comfort as well.
