And I don't see what makes that look any better (or worse?) than the actual Aztec? It still has the same ugly exterior...Is it just because its lower that your guys think it looks cooler?

Kinda funny to see how so many people change their minds instantly when you slap 600hp, big rims and some other stuff on a car which still generally looks as ugly as before.
Guys would probably be drooling all over a 500hp V8 Hyundai Accent, too.
Matter of taste, of course...

geeee, did you two even read the article before posting comments?
the origami rear end has been angled downward, rounded out a bit and fitted with a new spoiler. Door handles, mirrors and front fascia also get fittingly refashioned.
Flared fenders swoop over the wheel wells —complete with gill-slit vents—and positively dominate the design.
two pairs of four-inch exhaust tips emerge ahead of the rear wells
All this bodywork does a lot to address the tippy-tall disproportion of the original design
Those 4 changes have made the aztek look much better....so much so that I would have even considered it instead of the trailblazer we bought in Feb. The bottom half of this aztek makes a world of difference!!!
I would suggest before you skim though an article and glace over pictures before assuming that everyone likes it only because of the powertrain, ...............that you ummmmm......dont do that, or something.......
sorry, I am having a bad day!

I just don't know wht they didn't just have a suttle redesign and hope a better design would be better.
although, maybe with too many brands selling a version they were afraid of too much overlap and desided just to end production

I guess in not dissimilar fashion to our own send off Woodward cars, this is a glimpse of what could have been for another soon-to-be deceased model.

hmm, I think the front end looks nice(maybe it's the angle on the picture). No matter what you say, I am right and you are wrong!
