Man, those pre-facelift Pontiac Azteks really haven’t aged well.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:It's so maddening the SD1 was pure 70's/80's British car industry. That car was a excellent design for it's time and sounded great with the V8, bought down by comically awful build quality and absolutely crippling cost cutting garbage. A lot of Britsh cars of the time were utter crap from breakfast to rear end in a top hat but the SD1 in actual competent hands would have been just amazing. I've owned two, and my take away was the SD1 was a stellar design hampered by the unholy trilogy of: Mechanical components selected under BL austerity measures - A live axle rear end that led to hilarious levels of body roll, a Borg-Warner automatic transmission with ratios that were very poorly matched to the V8 and a manual gearbox option that couldn't handle the torque; Electrical components supplied by British industry - Lucas fuel injection, connectors, switchgear, and wiring harnesses, and Smiths instruments; And then finally it was all loosely screwed together with self-tappers and minimal rust proofing by a bunch of people who wanted to do anything but build cars. A fully sorted SD1 (especially the series 2 Vitesse model) is a thing of utter beauty, but getting it sorted requires levels of commitment that even hardened masochists struggle to muster... Yet I'd probably buy another one tomorrow if I could. I've often dreamed about what the SD1 would have been like had it been made by Ford, but they wouldn't have ever taken the risk of launching something so advanced.
