One from my son & one from ASR that strike me as variations on a stochastic theme.

The... umm... instrument cluster kind of reminds me of Mrs. H's 2016 CR-V, which also has a kind of 3D thing goin' on.

Kind of.

That Newport looks quite a bit like the 1961 DeSoto Adventurer diecast car that I have on a shelf about 4 feet from my head as I type this.

Except... that DeSoto has a grill(e) that makes the vehicle look even a notch more hallucinogenic than the Chrysler.
It's almost as if the mushroom-addled stylists from the Aztek program went back in time, did their damage, and then returned to... well... do more damage. #
I remember reading a contemporary description of the Aztek's edgy design, suggesting it looked like a large sketch sheet of the vehicle accidentally got creased -- and no one noticed.

I will say this of the late Virgil Exner-era Chrysler (et al.) designs -- they kind of put many of KIA/Hyundai's odder exercises into perspective.

Also maybe even some of Subaru's more esoteric ventures. Maybe.

So -- my image manipulation skills are meager*, but reflecting on the Aztek led me to see what might happen if one de-creased it.
or
Kind of looks like a Citroën now.

good, good... but the idea was to get rid of that duplication of grilles and lights and stuff above the crease, too.

Nice! It now looks like every other SUV made today, doesn't it?
Danged Pontiac was ahead of the curve.

We had a 62 when I was a kid. It had an auto start feature. Essentially a clock timer you could set for a certain time so your car was warm when you got in it to leave for work on cold mornings. Sometimes my parents would forget to shut it off on the weekends and we'd wake up late Saturday morning and the car had been idling for 4 hours
