Breaking Bad made me want a Aztek. Go Walt you bad ass.
Dale SchroederJul 20, 2012 I had heard many times that the Aztek was some high level manager's pet project that went to production just because no one had the stones to tell him it was a bad idea. Dunno how true that is but given GM's state at the time, it seems credible.
Zachary MaurerJul 20, 2012 My friends know the designer for this car, he got fired and went to ford, then he designed the ford five hundred...
Bobert LiuJul 20, 2012 The designers had no idea what they were doing. All they knew was that they didn't understand how the gen x could appreciate wacky designs that the previous generation thought were ugly, so they took a shot in the dark and made a car just as wacky.
Jerrod SwensonJul 20, 2012 Canada had a rebadged Sidekick/Tracker by Pontiac named the Sunrunner from 90-97.
Tom SextonJul 20, 2012 This the Edsel of our generation.
Alex VasquezJul 20, 2012 I've always thought these were pieces of shit, but sad thing is they still sold!!
Justin BrestJul 20, 2012 breaking bad wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for this monstrosity! lol
Avery WilliamsJul 20, 2012 Would rather drive this than a Puke.
Jason DowlingJul 20, 2012 Now I know what the Toyota Prius was modeled after!
David JusticeJul 20, 2012 How this thing got passed all the design meetings, production evals, and focus groups is beyond me.
Kyle SmithJul 20, 2012 I'd totally drive around town in one of these blasting some rap beats with all four windows down. Not.
John SerelyJul 20, 2012 No Jim, that looks great, this looks terrible
Zach SullivanJul 20, 2012 @tony the reason why I like this car in bb is cuz it fits Walt's character so well at least in the first season anyway and if the walking dead was real I would drive a prius if it had keys in it cuz at that point I would be happy with anything that moved
Chris PenzaJul 20, 2012 I can't help but laugh every time I see this car
chikenbagJul 20, 2012 it was funnier when it was featured on american dad lolz...
Timothy HookerJul 20, 2012 this thing handles like a champ in BB.
Paul DickeyJul 20, 2012 Yeah tony this car was perfect for breaking bad. Walt is one bad ass man.
Vince DeMasiJul 20, 2012 Breaking bad didn't need a nice car the person who said this was perfect for that show was because its a low key ugly car and didn't draw attention
Henz HerreroJul 20, 2012 Omg i wudnt even call this a crossover, gives crossovers a bad name.. My neighbor has one and wow.. Its uglier in real life..
Patrick SchalkJul 20, 2012 Might be ugly but it's still more practical than some cars.
Matt PiccoloJul 20, 2012 A juke looks 17194716383816x better than this
Jackson MichaelJul 20, 2012 Awwwww look how tiny and cute the wheels areee
Zach SullivanJul 20, 2012 anyone ever see breaking bad? this was the perfect car for that show other then that this thing is a piece of ...
Logan LeMonnierJul 20, 2012 The juke has grown on me a lot. This never will
Michael J SolimeneJul 20, 2012 Rotten car. I don't get what ppl see in it
Tobias MersingerJul 20, 2012 The Juke looks great compared to this piece of junk. And the Juke is one ugly car... This is plain hideous...
Carlos Gallego RodriguezJul 20, 2012 Who was the boss of pontiac at this time? Because i cannot understand who was the one that said: " beautiful, and now let's start the production, i'm sure that this is going to be our top selling car ".
UGLY CAR!!
Michael HorneJul 20, 2012 In my opinion, this and the Juke are on even terms in the ugly department.
Donte PerinoJul 20, 2012 It still isn't that bad...

Chayton Kaes GarverickJul 20, 2012 I have an Aztek, and the tent is good. not great, but good
Stephen WicoffJul 20, 2012 Jeep wranglers come with tents... And I'ld totally take this with a tent, it's cheaper too.
Chris PenzaJul 20, 2012 Well you can probably get an aztek with a tent cheaper than a tent at the store
Description: Carmakers still haven't given up trying to sell hideous cars to young people and the Aztek was hardly the only weird-looking, mutant vehicle which was pitched as being "Xtreme", "a...Add Comments2
Bracey WrightOct 27, 2012 Idk why alot of people hate it. I really like this car.
Theviper007Jul 22, 2012 u would drive a the Yugo or mustang 3 from top gear America
Alex VasquezJul 20, 2012 It should be driven into the sea
Zachary MaurerJul 20, 2012 That was one of the few good American top gear episodes
Chris PenzaJul 20, 2012 @Dylan the mustang 2 fake led zeppelin story was tue funniest
Kyle McCulloughJul 20, 2012 @ Dylan: Yeah, that was hilarious!
Henz HerreroJul 20, 2012 Haha ur right.. The front doesnt blend right.. Looks like two cars smahed inz
Joel HaberliJul 20, 2012 This isn't even the worst looking version. Early models had grey cladding covering the bottom third of the car that made it look pudgy and ridiculous.
Nick BenzJul 20, 2012 If they wanted it to sell, theyhouldve made it more of an off-roader. That would have at least been a little better
Zachary MaurerJul 20, 2012 See the plastic trim ruins it...
Description: The styling was absolutely hideous, and the Aztek has been included in pretty much every list of ugliest cars ever made. This included a couple lists in Time of the 50 Worst Cars of All Time and even ...Add Comments1
Dale SchroederJul 20, 2012 Wow, I had forgotten the Aztek had only barely passed the crash tests. It's even worse when you consider crash safety was supposed to be the big selling point of SUV's in that time period.
Description: Perhaps a bit overpriced, but J.D. Power and Associates rated it as the "Most Appealing Entry Sport Utility" in 2001. It scored very well on the Customer Satisfaction Index in every way exce...Add Comments0
Kyle AndersonJul 20, 2012 If they would've taken the top headlights and enlarged them and gotten rid of the lower headlights altogether , I feel like it would look much better.
Mike CasseltonJul 20, 2012 I Liked the Top Gear off road version. Still a horribly ugly car though...
David JagielloJul 20, 2012 Looks like something Lada would make
Nick StiJul 20, 2012 I kinda like the front. The rest sucks though
Joel HaberliJul 20, 2012 This is not horrible. But the front end just doesn't work.
Bruno RochaAug 17, 2012 Hahahahahahahahahaha That's the worse thing I've ever seen hahahahahaha horrible!
Bruno RochaAug 17, 2012 In Brazil it costs R$ 1.200.000,00 this price in the USA is about U$ 700.000,00 so, it's overpriced. VERY OVERPRICED! The brazilian govern is the worse of all! I HATE THIS COUNTRY.
Colin DzendoletJul 23, 2012 take off that stupid sloping rear hatch job, make it into a small 4door ute with a mini truck bed, and its side profile wouldn't be that bad
Jack WilliamsJul 21, 2012 Mmm. The aftermarket wheels and yellow calipers really add a lot. Lots of swag.
Chris O'BrienJul 21, 2012 this isn't even a production model. it was just a concept on posters in dealerships. has anyone EVER seen one on the road that looks like this?!
Colby ChurchJul 21, 2012 Or how about a production model with aftermarket wheels, rack, and side pieces? Lol. Come on guys, just pay attention.
Connor Garrett KoerbitzJul 20, 2012 No, I believe this was a concept, or "unveiling" car. Not 100% sure though.
Henz HerreroJul 20, 2012 Top of the line trim? Still doesnt make it appealing.. Pontia prolly paid off jd power..

chikenbagJul 20, 2012 I've said this for a while, the australians are better at making american cars than the americans are!
chikenbagJul 20, 2012 pontiac as the american version of holden was awesome. loved having the monaro and commodore over here, and would have loved to see the ute make it too...
chikenbagJul 20, 2012 at the end of pontiacs life, gms rebadging strategy was starting to make some good cars- gto, g8, solstice( not exactly a great car, but better than alot of the crap they had in the nineties )... shame the g8 st never got a chance to live, it would have been awesome
Patrick SchalkJul 20, 2012 Keaton I think Saturn was GMs red headed stepchild.
Nick BenzJul 20, 2012 I dont think the aztec caused the downfall of pontiac. Its not like alot of the other models had much appeal. They had some, but you could always get something else from GM or Chevy (not to mention imports) that was much much more attractive.
Keaton SchelirJul 20, 2012 Pontiac always has been GMs Red-Headed Stepchild
Description: On the plus side, the Aztek served as GM's styling low point. The lessons learned have helped GM to produce generally more attractive vehicles in the 11 years since the Aztek was unveiled. Of cou...Add Comments0
