It suited him well...The Pontiac Aztec was well qualified as Fugly. Too many of the pieces didn't seem to belong on the same car!
titled anyWhen Nash-Kelvinator bought Hudson in 1954, they created "American Motors" and along the way, they also acquired Studebaker, Packard, Kaiser, and Willys. Why a corporation would want to acquire more failing brands is a mystery. Did they have a false hope of "economy of scale" by sharing parts between brands?
Willys became Jeep and is the only survivor has been owned by Fiat-Chrysler for a long time. Anyhow, the swallowing of the auto brands was our version of the British motorcycle industry huddling under one tiny, BSA/Triumph financial umbrella.
Yep. My vote too. Rented one in Italy in late 90's. Just got the key fob late night at the airport and pressed the fob button in the dark parking lot. Too tired to walk back.Ewww...
A Honda N360 seems more appealing...

This is a very complimentary photo. It does not look nearly this good in person. The interior looked terrible and controls were confusing. Gear shift was straight out of the dash. The rental agency later admitted that Fiat could not sell them so they "gave" them to the rental agencies just to get some on the road. Mine was green and looked like a toad.
