Guh... That aztek really is an abomination. It's strange since the Toyota underneath all the nastiness doesn't look too bad (for an MPV). I'm glad we don't get them down here.
You will probably like the BMW advertisement half way down this page. They also did a story about Bangle discovering that he is actually left handed after all these years of designing with the right one.
I was like you with the 7 series until I started seeing them regularly. I think that's Chris Bangle's talent/curse. I felt the same about his Fiat CoupÃ© when it was first introduced... ugly as sin. Now I quite like them when I see them on the road.
One of the guys on 5th Gear (British car show) said of the 7 series; "It's like a supermodel with her two front teeth missing. By no means perfect, but you still would *wink*"

Oh and here's something to horrify you...

The new Rover 75.

The blind leading the blind.
In a few years every car will look like that. The "snoutish" disease had already infected Audi, VW, Rover, Subaru, and Bugatti. I fear that this may jump to humans and the next generation will all be born with one giant nostril instead of two small ones.
