Talk:Pontiac Aztek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Contradiction
The article states:
- Introduced in 2001
- This car was only on the market for two years, the shortest period for any American vehicle ever made
- it will be discontinued after the 2005 model year
2001-2005 is not two years, so one statement or the other is wrong.
I also have my doubts about 'the shortest period for any American vehicle ever made.' —Morven 21:45, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
- I'd say the Lincoln Blackwood at 15 months is the shortest production run of a non-limited-edition vehicle. The Aztek actually sold pretty well. I'm editing. --SFoskett 17:01, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)
There's some pretty strong POV stuff here. I'm taking the edge off.
Full disclosure - I own one. --Xj14y 19:41, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I really like how you redid it. Even though people THINK the Aztek was a flop, it wasn't really a failure. It sold surprisingly well, if not a home run. --SFoskett 20:50, Dec 30, 2004 (UTC)
Some more commentary highlighting the differences between the concept and final versions would be nice too. I like the concept, but the original model was much chunkier and flabbier, more of an ugly platform-engineer hack :/ --Anon, 6 Oct 2005
Was the concept actually well liked? I distinctly remember it being blasted in the press. "Pity Pontiac, its stylists can't style and its marketing department can't spell" to quote Robert Cumberford in Automobile, for example. -- Citric, 12 May 2006.
