I spotted an (insert obscure car name here) classic car today!

Out in the parking lot by the liquor store today, I spotted this little gem...
Sorry, for the bad resolution; it was a zoom-in.

I wish you had a poorer-resolution pic, say 4x4...

I knew someone who had an early Aztek, back when they all had the gray lower body contrast. His was black though, so that toned down the look of it, somewhat.

From what I've heard, the people that have owned them, actually loved them. They were pretty comfortable, and practical. And once you were inside it, you didn't have to look at it. 🤣

Although honestly, if it just had a slightly lower beltline, and they got rid of that secondary level of lights and grille inlets across the top, it wouldn't look half bad.

Agree with @andre1969. I have always been a bit enamored with the Aztec, to be frank. It’s a real function over form vehicle and now that I’m older and don’t care what anyone thinks, I don’t mind saying I like them.

I think it looks best in solid black. Kind of a bat mobile mini van. It had some innovative optional interior features. The jacked up look from the rear didn't enhance its looks either.

Andre, wasn't that basically the Buick version they came out with? That just looked boring.

While the styling was odd, the 'worst car' label attached to the Aztek by a number of lists is nonsense. Decent car underneath.
