The next Pontiac Aztek(s)

I know, the Pontiac Aztek is too easy a target. I'm not going to talk about the Aztek. But I am going to talk about the organization that released it. How did it happen? How did it get approved? Because no one is willing to say that the emperor has no clothes? There clearly was a committee that was looking at the individual attributes of the Aztek and not the whole.

If you think GM has learned its lesson, it hasn't because it release the evil twin spawn of the Aztek: The Saab 9-7X and 9-2X. The X must stand for stupid. Selling a Suburu and a Chevrolet as a Saab? You are putting the remnants of a distinct brand in a guillotine.
