Geny Y people: do you like the Scion models or the Honda Element?
Supposedly, Toyota and Honda have figured out how the Gen Y (those under 25) brain works and the results are the two Scion models and the Honda Element.
So you Gen Y'ers....what do you think of the looks of the Scions and the Element?

<--- 24 years old, ugly as hell.
However I suspect this will be the overwhelming opinion of any younger guy who visits this site. If you're into F-bodies, Mustangs and the like you aren't going to be interested in a car like that.

I hope I never see one of these things on the road... I'll probably start laughing uncontrolably, and wreck my car and die.
Unbelievably, someone has out-done the Aztek for worst, blocky, clunky design of all-time!

What I find truly funny is that Toyota and Honda have justified the ugliness of the vehicles by saying "our market research has indicated that Gen Y-ers don't care about styling, just functionality."
Well I give that quote a huge
. I'm sorry I don't care who you talk to, no one wants to drive something that they themselves perceive as ugly. Bland styling, if the car is everything else you could ask for, that's one thing. It doesn't cost any more to make a car even bland on the outside, so why handicap the thing by making it look like that? You're putting that "market research" thing to the ultimate test. So hard to believe that Aztek owners actually like its styling....

What the hell is generation Y? I thought this was Gen X? How often do we change generations here? 
Personally everyone I know who is my age (mid 20's) thinks these cars are hidious. Looks are what catch your eye first, so if something is ugly, how the hell do you expect to draw people into showrooms?

I'm 23
I hate those cars, not only are they weak but they are very ugly, I guess the Japs are going after the ever lucrative Aztek market
if these cars catch on (which they won't) maybe GM will bring back Geo.
People my age want sporty looking cars, not these little van things.
