The Pontiac Aztek, introduced in 2001, was a mid-size crossover SUV that aimed to blend versatility with innovative features. Its design included a modular interior, ample cargo space, and unique options like a built-in cooler and a tent attachment for camping enthusiasts. Despite these practical attributes, the Aztek’s unconventional styling led to poor sales and its discontinuation in 2005. However, its distinctive design later found a cult following, notably as the vehicle driven by Walter White in the television series “Breaking Bad.” (CNN: Pontiac Aztek—Ugly Duckling)
