You read my mind!! I never posted it but saw one the other day on the road and thought it a perfect candidate for this thread.
Didn't Chevy have it's own version of this disaster too? 'Can't remember what they called that one.

I don't remember Chevy ever putting its name on an Aztek clone.

o haha jamie but a few things you forgot thats not my year and the 07-09 have more recalls/tsb than the 04 models so :P.

And yes i have been pretty astounded on how ugly these cars are getting, there is a difference between new age style and just plain fugly and its not even just the style sometime the quality is just downright laughable. Just one example is the quality if the paint....its bad enough if your car aint black the body color wont match the bumpers and its like ONE freaking coat of clear...its just sad.

Azteks, oh dear god why? Seriously, what the hell were they on when they let that thing roll out of the factory?

Yeah...but can you get a 365hp AWD Beemer for that price? The SHO pulls 0-60 in ~5.2 seconds and is in the 13's in the quarter mile. The performance you get is a deal at that price. Base price on the 2010 Taurus is around $25K, same as the outgoing model. The SHO is an incredible car.

I disagree about the 2010 Mustang on that list as well. I like the updated styling. (Especially in GT500 trim.)

The other GM Aztec close was the Buick Rendevous. Equally as ugly and pitiful from a driver's standpoint (my Mother-in-law has one)

I put the 2010 mustang up there is because they tried to put the new challenger front end on it with a pony on it and the rear is just wrong all wrong, pretty much the boxy style mustangs dont follow the org style which was way better...and thats comming from some1 who hates stangs, also i think its s joke that they put out the v6 stangs haha its not a real stang unless it has a v8.

As for the SHO its also a dissapointment, a classmate that has the older one was going to look into buying one went to a local dealership and he said he was dissapointment, stating the SHO looked like a lowered minivan and it was just too bulky.

You could get a 335 for about two grand more. I know the Taurus has 65 more HP and AWD, but come on...no manual? I don't like Beemers in general, but I would have to go with the 335 for that kind of cash, for a car in that kind of class.
