Wow! A Walter White special...perfect for running over drug dealers... "love it or hate it...the only 2 reactions we've heard so far"...LOL!
Hey, 0-60 in 9.6. That was pretty quick back when I was in high screwall...;)

That was definitely before its time.

It should never have had a time.

My friend Steve dubbed it "The Ugly Car"! :D

Aw, he didn't show the tent. Actually, the dash controls and features are pretty good. I could live with the thing if it wore a different body.

I have a good friend who has an Aztek and he absolutely loves the thing. Dare to be different. [emoji3]

Wow. As much as I have completely DESPISED the Aztec over the years, that review made it look almost cool.

"Ugly as an Aztek" is the comparison I hear often.... Such as "The Nissan Juke is Ugly as an Aztek"

I remember back when they were being sold new a Ford rep was being interviewed for some article . The rep was told by the reporter that GM was coming out with updates to the Aztec and if he had any comment ? His quick wit came back with " are they updating the tent " ? I thought that was funny . To me the Aztec was beaten with an ugly stick by a flash mob that kept beating until the stick was gone .

I had a tree fort that was cooler looking.

I'd give one to Foose for remodeling.

Even the "Foose Fade" would not help one of those things.

You all will laugh when a bright yellow one with low miles hits $200,000 at Mecum in 2027.

I rode an Aztek once, it was an Uber ride. It was ugly.

Buick had a version of it that didn't look too bad.
Fortunately I haven't seen an Aztek in years.

Best

(Pardon my misspelling. Darn autofill.)

They've been gone for hundreds of years. Cortés did them in.

Yes they had the Rendezvous, it wasn't much better.

Myself and 3 friends rented one and drove it out to Vancouver Island to do the west coast trail when these things were new.

The only things that made it look better were distance and dark. We nicknamed it the Ass-Teck

I recall some issue with it and we traded it in… for another Aztec at the Vancouver airport on the way home.

It was pretty ho-hum overall. A real POS by today’s vehicle standards.

It seemed to have a lot of good interior features.
The best thing about driving an Aztec is you can't see the outside.
