Default Nice drive to work this morning ruined!

A very crisp 35 degrees this morning and I was up early for some reason so I decided to take a long way to work to enjoy the S4 a little more than usual. The turbos were loving the cold air. Then while sitting at a stop light up pulled the most hideous thing I have ever seen on any road - a Pontiac Aztek! I know I am in rare company since they have probaly only sold a dozen or so of these LSD-induced monstrocities.

I had to drive next to this thing for 6 blocks. I almost threw up. Then as I was turning left to get away from this ugly hiking-boot-with-wheels, there was a yellow one coming the other direction. Ugh. I felt queasy. I still think I will skip lunch. I kept looking at the thing because it was so damn ugly. It reminds me of the Seinfeld where Kramer had the picture painted of himself and the people looking at it said "It is hideous and offensive, yet I cannot look away."

Pontiac didn't push the envelope with the styling on this one, they took a **** in an envelope and lit it on fire. Sorry for the OT rant but I had to get it out!

Default i think i prefer it to quattro s4

i do not think you are speaking of accurate knowledge of the car. it is a beautiful piece of work and i think its use on the road and offroad is far superior to quattro i am considering it next to an s4 does anyone have anything positive to say about it ?

Default Yeah here's something positive,

It would be a positive thing if it was never created and just went away. I have seen one of these ugly creations and have to say that it may have function, but it lacks in form.

I would never buy one of them, they are horrible. If you are torn between it and the S4 you have something wrong with you. Buy the Audi All Road, instead, hell anything is better than the Aztek, except the Izuzu Vehi-Cross it's just as ugly.

Default Gross over-generalization, please...

the ***-tek does not represent most American cars. There are some good American made cars and trucks out there too.

No, and I don't like your choice of seeing eye dog either.
