They got exactly the deal they deserved.

I like the Aztek. It had a lot more character than a lot of other vehicles of its vintage.

Aztecs are ugly but full of utility, much like the Fiat Multipla or the Zastava Koral. Right thread.

The revision of the Aztek has already started, it's a future classic if not already so, and will be absolutely fondly remembered in the future. I think the same thing is going to happen to the jellybean Taurus but we aren't there yet.

I remember having a soft spot for the Toyota Matrix in the brief few months of being a teenager really into 'import tuning' and the first F&F movie. Little did I know those cars were sort of the vanguard (lol get it VANguard) for the SUV crossovers we see too many of today.

I haven't been inside an Aztec but it's probably 2000s era GM plastic horror. I don't think it'll be a classic or anything but quirky and neat to see at car shows when I'm old(er).

Today's ugly cars don't make the Aztec better, just ahead of its time. That said, it could be a fun project to do something weird with. KakerMix posted:The revision of the Aztek has already started, it's a future classic if not already so, and will be absolutely fondly remembered in the future. I loving hope not. It's the only Taurus design I actively dislike, but I would hate it a lot less if not for the center stack in the dash. Godholio fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Apr 22, 2023 |

Aztecs will definitely be future classics but there won’t be many left because it’s early 2000’s GM, which means baby’s first interior build quality and a unibody

I wanted the one that came with the camping tent option that zipped into the open rear hatch. My sister had the upscale version (Buick Rendezvous) It was very comfortable, and nimble for such a dorky-looking thing. Ate hub bearings at $350 apiece.

lol https://i.imgur.com/jz8SsUN.mp4 Never seen how a sequential transmission works. Seems like there's this drum on the right side that is rotated by the lever, and I'm guessing (since you can't directly see it) the shift forks sit in the cams and engage and disengage as you rotate the whole thing. Also straight-cut gears. e: https://i.imgur.com/DMTpdPv.mp4 mobby_6kl fucked around with this message at 11:29 on Apr 23, 2023 |

Beve Stuscemi posted:It’s just a huge motorcycle transmission, they work the exact same way. Not really in this case. It still is a H-pattern Subaru 6 speed, the linkages get swapped for the cam follower setup to be able to be shifted like a sequential - Prodrive first did this while they were the Subaru WRC team which makes flappy paddle commanded pneumatic / hydralic actuation doable and PPG or in this case X-Shift basically copied the basic idea. The gearset is also dog engagement rather than synchro rings

Anyway, since everyone apparently loves Trabants, here's some more from that genre from the Retro Museum in Varna, Bulgaria.                          You can get the large picture by removing the list "h" in the image name.

Today I was at japfest and only took pictures of weird boxy stuff for some reason (the reason is that weird boxy stuff is cool) Toyota bB  2nd gen civic  Honda's of this era all blur into one for me. Probably a civic.  Mark 2  Silvia  Also this civic lowrider. I was following it out of the show and it looked barely drivable. Sadly I didn't get any video of it when they were doing demos.  And this guy who built an mx-5 trailer for his mx-5  Not pictured are the swarms of EP3 civics reving all day or any of the actual high effort builds.
