I did hear the show, as I was motoring through a surprise snow storm in Arizona! Great show and the brothers didn't agree with the PT being considered ugly, BTW....

I hope MissAlternateUniverse (formerly known as L.Mini) heard that the Aztec was #1 ugliest...that would warm her happy little MINI heart!

I do like apples better though...
Interesting that you should post a Red S with stripes and a Gold Dream PT -- that's exactly the pair we have. My wife's PT has a plate AU2K2PT (gold 2002 PT) and she loves it 'cuz it's easier to put groceries in the back than in my MCS

When the PT Cruiser first came out I was glad to see some older styling,more curves,throw back looks.Same with the new Beatle when it came out,the new convertible T-Birds are pretty sweet looking in IMO.But when I saw my first "spy shot" of a MINI,well I didn't want one,I NEEDED one

Tee hee! I also think the new Prius resembles a baby-Aztec!
