Does Chevy still have a minivan? Because honestly besides the really ugly body, where they really went wrong was using the minivan chassis and drive train.

*ahem*, don't forget Toyota's new niche customer... the "casual-core weekender".

That was awesome, looks like the Aztek Versatrac is a pretty capable rig!

As a new member that drives a current-generation "ugly duckling," I have to admit, my parents had a Pontiac Aztec that I used during college.
Granted, I may just not have known any better, but it was a really comfortable car to drive. It was responsive, held its own in the winter on loose and packed snow, and this may be nostaliga talking but the seats were the most comfortable car seats I've ever sat in.
If I didn't already have a Cherokee, I'd seriously consider getting an Aztek and kitting it out.

I always thought the Aztec was an excellent idea but poorly executed in production. I long wanted a Gen 1 Honda Element. Those were initially aimed at the younger outdoor set (camping, kayaking, hiking, etc). Where they lost me was in not making it capable of accepting a small 1 or 2" lift, and having some aftermarket add ons like front/rear bumpers, skids, sliders, and a usable roof rack. And in 2010 when they released the Gen 2 you could tell they had basically given up on the original concept. That thing sits lower than most sedans now.

Glad you like it never thought my Aztek would be shown here lol there is more to that one than you know. like for starters it is the only one of its kind when it comes to the specialized custom made one off rims that were used in the 2001 olympics, we call it Snowmaggedon and no it has never gotten stuck

Yes it was poorly executed but much like the wrangler it actually has a lot of potential with little kickback. I only have to pay more as well nothing exist for it lol

Chevy actually doesn't own the Aztek anymore toyota does as they helped build it. you can see a lot of the aztek in the gen 1 and 2 priuses

As a KL Cherokee owner , that was call the hammerhead shark of SUV's , funny how many companies copied the style. Shouldn't throw stones.....
