Aztek that should have been:

They should've put that in Dark Angel instead of a stock Aztek. At the time it was futuristic enough, but not too luxury (goes with the storyline).
 
The biggest problem with the Aztek was that horrible snout. It only needs one grill, not sure what they were thinking there.
 
I think that one looks pretty pimp!
I don't hate the Aztek as much as I used to, either.

That's because all new SUVs look pretty much like slightly more rounded versions of the Aztek. As much crap as Pontiac took, they seem to have paved the way for that massive market segment.

The Aztek came out in 2001. There were SUVs with round edges as early as 1992.

If you're talking about bubble cars, saying the Aztek paved the way for the Muranos and FX35s... yeah I'm not so sure about that.

It also paved the way for utilitarian accessories in new cars (console in the cooler, air compressor built-in).
