    There were certainly quite a few dogs on that list, and the Aztec fits at the top, but then there were some absolutely beautiful cars in that list, too. Lexus 430SC, Porsche Boxster, BMW 6-series, Jaguar XJ-S!! These don't belong on the list. The VehiCROSS doesn't earn a spot on this list either.

    Yep - WAY too rare...

    Us Brits have designed some stinkers over the years, but British design skills are the best in the world (says the former product designer) and vehicle makers around the globe fall over themselves to hire us - even US ones...

    In the 70s and 80s British manufacturing (particularly of cars and car components) sucked. It sucked monkey nuts as Trade Unions were running (actually "closing") the nationalised motor factories with no concept of "quality" with which to put into practice the great ideas of the design departments.

    IMHO of course...

    The Aztek is a fugly POS, the Alfa SZ is gloriously gorgeous when you see it in the flesh -particularly in the sun at a French service station.

I had to laugh at the Aztek though, Americans themselves like to give it a good tongue lashing and It hought it was funny that we agreed with the Brits on that one. It had some interesting features, but I can't imagine seeing the prototype and NOT thinking, "man, this just isn't a very attractive vehicle".

    When the Aztec first came out...all I could think of was that darn station wagon the Griswolds piled into in the first "Vacation" movie with Chevy Chase.

    PS: Speaking of blue subarus, there's also that nasty of habit of the local chav kids of wraping their blue subarus around light poles at triple-digit speeds...
    Just ask Etlsport - about a certain black Subaru rolling a few times!

    Too bad they arent wrapping Prius' around light poles, especially blue ones,
    not black Prius, not red Prius, but blue Prius. But not really a blue Prius, more of a "BLUE" Prius.

    ... I used to pick Priuses out of the fangs of my VX.
