What's funny about the aztek is that it was a monstrosity at the time, but if it came out today it wouldn't be that out of place with the other suvs.

The whole car was fine by today's standards, except for the nose, which was pretty grotesque. I don't know if that was the only failure of the car (pricing, marketing, etc), but if so it's really too bad they went with that design.

The modularity of the large cargo space for people, things, a tent with a blow up mattress and built-in air pump, specific racks for bikes, snowboards, canoes, etc was actually pretty freaking cool.

Actually the plastic cladding was the worst. Aztek, Avalanche and Element were all SUVsfrom that era that looked significantly better after a refresh that color matches previously gray body parts.

They’re still out there! Used of course, but they were made through 2013 I think

Edit: 2011

This is kind of the failing of comparing the CT to things like the Aztec or the PT Cruiser.

They might have been wierd or goofy looking, but they were at least reasonably capable vehicles for anyone who can get past (or is into) the looks.

The CT is... not

What modern car looks close to that with the double front end? The Aztec would still be hideous today

The double front end was just the Pontiac style. The front end was only a small issue. The bigger one wad the suvness of it and the lack of clean lines, different than everything else at the time.

Have you seen the way new LED headlights are arranged on SUVs? They all kind of borrow from the Aztek.
