I just don't know what to make of this... scared to read more too  

It's an Aztek...so the haters will continue to hate it. They will probably say something obviously stupid as "even a blind pig is still made of pork...."

However, like wearing black, the all back theme does have a lot of "slimming" effect to the vehicle. The gold snowflake wheels and "bird" hood decal kinda work for me. Granted, there is no shaker hood scoop or T-tops. Bo and Frog aren't screaming down the Georgia/Texarkana highways running bird dog for Snowman either. Still I think this definitely would have some more appeal that a stock Aztek.

JUSTA my 2 cents worth anyway....

Agreed, but with blown out fenders, low profile tires, way better wheel than most today; I’d buy it over nearly all the other SUV out there today! That all look like they came of the same copy machine!

I like the changes...... BUT, they never moved the lights from the top of the fenders.  Always a huge buzzkill.  Need to be at the bottom or JUSTA complete delete.  I'd take it to a carshow.

Ditto.

 

Although, engine quality issues for the 3400 in general coupled with a few other Aztek-specific quality issues (e.g. A/C compressor line rubbing issues and other things I saw while working in the shop) have always been a turn-off for me regarding the Aztek. However, again, I do like this from a design standpoint.

The wife and mum-in-law never had those issues with their Azteks. For the most part, those cars were very trouble free. I guess we were lucky.
