Both quite terrible and the product of a desperate persona trying to claw themselves into some semblance of a meaningful or unique existence.

That said the aztek is worse.

Having not seen the Element in person, I can't vote. Sometimes cars look a look different in pictures than in real life. I thought the new Z car was awesome until I actually saw one, then my opinion went 180 degrees the other way.

It will be dificult to challenge the Aztec though. Someone used to park one regularly in a handicap spot in my parking garage at work. I wonder how many other people used to drive around that corner with their eyes closed.

The Element is quirky looking. It might look much better if it had a uniform metallic paint job.

The Asstek is well...hopeless.

Aztec looks kind of funky cool from the back, if you're into vertical type shapes and things like cupboards.

But you have to understand .... the Element is geared towards the younger demographic.
People at that age don't really give a crap. Just look the the commercial. That sums it up nicely
Younger people wants to be different. Hence the radical new vehicle from Honda.

On the other hand ... the Aztek which might be comfortable is just plain ugly..

Both suck. I can tell that GM wanted to come up with something new and exciting but ended with a dud.
Element, WTF? How hard did they go to design that box on wheels. Sure take a box, put 4 wheels on it and slap a bunch of plastic around it.
