Pre-Cybertruck

[adarza@lemmy.ca]

it was actually a pretty nice car. owners, for the most part, liked their car. the laughs came from comedians, memes and shit... non-owners.

yea. the front end of the production version was stupid, though, looking like two different cars got pancaked together. the pre-production concept from '99 had a much cleaner hood and front end. the funky ass end was functional and gave visibility in a time before backup cams became a thing.

I loved mine, it had a V6, drove like a sedan and was sweet burgundy on gray colo scheme.

I was sad when the one-legged lady totaled it in front of my house while she was sleep driving.

Ford Edsel.

Chrysler PT Cruiser.

Smart car.

Nissan Cube.

And one of those has been rebooted for this year.

(And someone here will love at least one of them, I'm sure. This is all my (lack of) taste talking.)

The Aztec is a beautiful car and I will die on this hill.

The Nissan Cube was the closest thing we've had to a kei car since the Scion xB. I'd buy an electric version of one in a heartbeat if it didn't have telemetry.

I hope it was the Edsel!

It also paved the way for the Vibe, and other hot hatchbacks

I will die on this hill.

Alone, no less.

[prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works]

I really dislike the notion of a SUV being considered a “hot hatchback”

Especially considering the hot hatch was born in the 70s

You have my permission to die on that hill.

The AWD version could make a dope camping/boondocks vehicle.

Walter White: You're goddamn right.

Bot has always enjoyed the Aztek, no idea why it gets so much hate

[thotiwassomebody@lemmy.world]

One legged before or after?

[smokebuddy@lemmy.today]

I don't see too many Azteks around but the more boring Buick version of them are still everywhere.

Ah the one-legged lady strikes again. Shucks.

[ourkaos@lemmy.today]

I saw the prototype at a car show before it was released, and it looked pretty cool as an off-road camper that could still be a daily driver if needed. Looked like it would have been a hit among the Midwestern hunter types near me, then it came out, they dumbed it down, and tried to sell it to soccer moms.

I think I prefer looking at the Aztek than this boring design.

[limelight79@lemm.ee]

I didn't realize they were the Aztec stablemate.

I'm pretty sure my neighbor has one of those Buicks. It's definitely a GM SUV of that era, in white. We've lived here for 8 years, and it has been sitting in the driveway the entire time that I recall. I've never seen it moved at all.

I don't think the people that own the house actually live there full time. I see them only rarely, so I think they live elsewhere, and this is their second home. They have a second bland GM SUV parked in the driveway when they are here.

For a long time I thought the two SUVs were the exact same model, just different colors, for near-maximum blandness.
