...No one ever bitches about Buick Rendezvous, but they were the identical car with different sheet metal.

Amazing that in their last two years:

Buick Rendezvous sold 61,249

and Pontiac Aztek sold 416.

And the only difference between the two are their looks. Same thing happened with the 80's A body cars. Everyone bought Centuries and Olds and almost no one bought 6000's because they were dumb looking all around.......except for my old man. The Pontiac dealer gave him a better number on the '74 Montego wagon he was trading. The dashboard in that 6000 made you so depressed you wanted to steer into a telephone pole at 60mph.

"All the bitching about that car was the styling. It had a bulletproof 3400 in it and all the other tried and true drive train and suspension components in the GM toolbox. No one ever bitches about Buick Rendezvous, but they were the identical car with different sheet metal."

The guy across the street from me has an Aztek.
Still looks ok for it's age (in terms of holding up against deterioration), still seems to be going ok.
