Challenger are big and look it. Not my cup of tea either. But in the right package and for enough money, they at least can perform.

Sometimes function over form is OK. In the Challengers case POWER is sexy. And they don’t look Aztec bad

My daughter's Aztek could out perform the Challenger at hauling stuff any day of the week. It was an excellent daily driver that provided her with the ability to perform tasks other than burning rubber and burning huge amounts of gas.

And she liked the looks of her Aztek.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and she was writing the checks.

No, her current Aztek came with the sporty factory camping package.



Once again, Pontiac Aztek for the win.

Buick didn't offer the camping package on their clone of the Aztek, the Buick Rendezvous. It was bland and boringly Buick.

Exactyly! Not a fan of the Aztek. But really, it's just a Montana Minivan with an "Ugly Kit", or a "tough, sporty beauty kit", installed. At least it provoked SOME EMOTION. If you hate the styling, but like the platform, buy a Montana. Only BUICK could take the same platform and make it so boring people have no opinion at all. The Buick Rendezvous is just another bland Buick blob in a sea of generic minivans and SUV's. A transportation appliance.

I'd wager more people have lived out of a Tuktuk than camped in an Aztek.

Under the new Pontiac the former engineers for the following will have their Christmas bonus's rescinded and receive a jelly of the month coupon.

Idea to put olds/chevy in a Pontiac. bonus rescinded, then fired and under house arrest.

Aztec and the engineer for the tent.

301 engine turbo or not

monero

the ones who forced the honeycomb wheel to be endura glued to steel instead of approving the cast aluminum.

It is,

Not many beholders bought the Aztek and only a small number of them are attempting to keep theirs alive. They are destined to be another AMC Gremlin and that might even be an insult to the Gremlin.

The Aztec hurt Pontiac. There is no win.

Can you imagine if Pontiac had made the Aztek so attractive that it sold like the Firebirds and TransAm in the 70’s.
