>>>> There is truly nothing redeeming about the car. While I agree with everything you said, most consumers would never know this unless they test drove one, or were somewhat engaged in the industry. I would argue on the timing issue though. By the mid 2000's most companies were knee deep in trying to build out their hybrid lines and grab what was left of the market Toyota had already been dominating for years with the Prius. The Aztec looked stuck between a company trying to make a full sized SUV and a economy sized crossover for the masses. These people were looking for a gas efficient hybrid or something getting a decent MPG rating. The engine and drive train killed that idea right out of the gate which left it nowhere to really fit in.
