Aztek was just ahead of its' time, like so many automotive failures. It was more or less a beta version of the small crossover SUV type that would come to dominate sales in the 2000s. Buick went on to sell the nearly identical Rendevouz profitably for years after the Aztek failed, on the same platform with more or less just a bit of styling tweaks.

- alphabettsy 3y agoI’m not sure I agree with that. 1. The Aztec is midsize. 2. The first small crossovers were the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, both of which were selling in volume before this or the Buick variant were introduced. 3. It was released at the same time as the Toyota Highlander, a competing mid-size crossover, which sold far better. I don’t see how it was ahead of its time. Just another poorly executed GM product in my opinion.
