Your statement is incorrect in general. Specifically, that Aztek is about as ugly as a vehicle can get.

riced out Aztek != looking good.


Though, if you don't care about what you're driving looks like, Azteks are good deals. Their re-sale value is terrible. My dad got an 03 or 04 for like 12K.

the aztek is not a great looking car but it isn't ridiculously hideous.
it looks pretty hot in those pics...

the honda element is way worse than the aztek.

serously, there are way worse looking cars out there, it's just fashionable to pick on the Aztek here.

:thumbsup:

I've never thought it was as terrible as people make it out to be. Like Accords and Camrys are real lookers? (well, the Accord Coupe V6 is pretty nice looking) But then, I'm not opposed to the Honda Element or the Jeep Liberty like a lot of people here are. I thought they were ugly at first, but they grew on me.

The one in those pictures looked like ass though.

That's actually a sensible car to mod. It's so . . . unique to start with, why not make it extreme? :thumbsup:

Try again. Rice ALWAYS makes a car look worse. And the Aztek is so bad that it is beyond help.

Looks 100 times better to me. They changed a lot on the car though. I don't think that's the original hatch back on there even. Don't know how they got a custom one, but it's more round than your standard A$$tek. Pontiac needs to take a close look at this car and redesign theirs.

Looks a lot better than normal, but i threw up in my mouth a bit when i saw the interior.

Why would anyone want to try and do that though? Was the guy forced to drive an aztec by court order so he tried to spiff it up as much as possible? You can't polish a turd.

I think Pontiac should have put a few more rows of lights and a couple more grills on that car because there wasn't enough going on up there to begin with.

I actually don't think it looks all that bad. The front end's still pretty horrid, but if it appeals to you, then go for it...definitely better than stock, and it'll certainly get you noticed.

So will getting f***ed to death by a horse, but I'm not about to do either.
