I agree completely... maybe you aren't familiar with the term fugly (or maybe I'm dense).

Fugly = f*ckin ugly

I mistyped. I was trying to agree with you. And, I do know what fugly is.

This is fugly:

This is NOT fugly:

yeaaaah go usa

man that red pontiac thing is soooo ugly. some lady down the street just bought one and the first time i drove by it i had to circle the block to make sure i wasn't havin an acid flashback. maybe i can get her to park it somewhere else when i'm trying to sell my house - i think it's bringin down the real estate values in our area. there's a fiat (or was it citroen) thing that is even uglier - looks like a cross between that pontiac, a grasshopper and the battle wagon from nat. lampoons family vacation.

Audy Wagon Looks OD

This Steppenwolf looks like the morning after hangover, or smoking to much Sinsemilla Pot.

Yeah, that Cadillac looks majorly f'd up! Almost as bad as the Asstek. The Audi, on the other hand, looks kinda tight. Sort of like a miniature Hummer.

it looks like an ASSteck cause basically, it is. both cars are owned by GM aren't they? one just costs more.

Actually I'd rather have this one-- GTS -- Callaway LS1 V8 and 6 speed manual.
-- 0-100kph in 5.1sec:
<img src="http://www.hsv.com.au/images/cars/vx/gts_rear.jpg">

Read about 'em:
http://www.hsv.com.au/cars/vx/vx_press_release.htm

Unfortunately, they're right hand drive only, and they aren't planning on doing the R&D to make them left hand drive. So, they won't export them to the US. You can only get them in Austrailia and the UK.

Just imagine what the latest Impala COULD have been?!?!?!

Fugly as hell

For the record, can I please ask what the designers at GM were smoking when they designed the Aztek? The design looks like someone's 2 year old had a field day with the CAD/CAM software. The basic design reminds me of the garbage trucks that run around Chicago, only without the light blue paintjob. The back of that truck makes me want to get one of those "Heil" or "Galbreath" placards you see on the back of garbage trucks and tape it to the rear window.

Truthfully, I like the Steppenwolf better, but would prefer an X5 4.4i (with Sport Package)as far as the "hybrids" are concerned.
