The cobalt was actually a huge step in the right direction, but yeah the SSR and Aztek, and to a lesser extent the Catera, were embarassments. The Aztek was just ugly. The Shitty Shitty Roadster might have sold if it had cost $20k. I roffled for like 20 minutes when I heard what GM was asking for that inbred transmarotruck.
