That is horrible-- no words to describe how ugly that is. I would be really embarrassed if I worked on the design team.

that looks like it was desined as a future car in the early 90's

If you asked a second grade kid to draw a "Kool Karr" you'd get something like this. GM should pay VW to build this. Not only would VW become a laughing stock, but the Aztech would look like Heidi Klum by comparison!

Kinda looks like a smashed jellybean to me.

I hope they build it! The damage to their reputation might be irreparable, and the cash drain would be phenomenal.

Looks like another amphibian car. (i.e. land and water)

**Ming** · 01-06-2004, 04:22 PM

Even a hard-core VW fan would be hard pressed to like this.

It looks like last year's Hyundai concept or something.

Aztec? what was that? Who could remember after this?

Hunter · 01-06-2004, 06:14 PM

It does look like it missed the bus to the 1989 Tokyo Motor Show, and ended up at NAIAS.
