Rare are the vehicles that have so attracted the scorn of the Pontiac Aztek.

Quickly become the laughing stock of the automotive industry because of its design, the unconventional, the Aztek has not been marketed for five years and is now considered a flop in commercial buildings.

And if it was a serious mistake? And if the Aztek deserved that one gives him a chance? We think that this is the case, and here are five arguments concrete, to defend our position.

His style

Some say that it is because of its design, the Aztek has not been successful. On the contrary, it is thanks to him that he would have to stand out. In a sanitized world where all cars look the same, the Aztek dare we propose something fresh, new. A bit like the Juke, for Nissan.

It took a lot of guts, in Pontiac, to offer a vehicle also exploded.

Its pretty colors

In addition to its design, the Aztek was also set to turn heads with a color palette that is high in surprises. Special Mention to the yellow canary and the storm burned. For the more conventional, the Aztek was also available in shades more subtle, such as silver or even beige.

Its underbody plastic

During its first years of production, the Aztek with the bottom of the crate covered in plastic. Talk to us about it, a look of hard-to-cook!

His tent made-to-measure

The Aztek was a vehicle for the adventurers. Those who are not afraid to leave the comfort of the city to go far away. Pontiac offered a tent made-to-measure to be attached to the tailgate of the vehicle. Pure genius!

His performance in Breaking Bad

Forget Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. What has made the success of the american television series Breaking Bad, this is, without a doubt, the sublime Aztek beige that drove Walter White. Walter White never would have had the same allure without his trusty vehicle!

If Pontiac still existed, it would have already launched a petition to demand the return of the Aztek. Now, here we are, condemned to live in nostalgia. Sad reality.
