I think that the Aztek is uniquely ugly as pictured, but you should find one without a color matched bottom. The ones I saw on the road has this taupe-colored plastic on the bottom half of the vehicle and it looks really terrible. I found a version of it with the grey bottom and the optional tent attachment. I think this is basically the ugliest configuration of any car that was commercially available in any era: http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2006/10/in-praise-of-the-pontiac-aztek/ http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2006/10/in-praise-of-the-po...
- joezydeco 12y agoI always thought this was an echo of the "sport" look of consumer electronics in the late 80s / early 90s. For example, the Sports Walkman: https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2590/3820969452_8b0da67f1f.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2590/3820969452_8b0da67f1f.jpg That extra dark plastic around the unit suggested an outdoorsy/rugged mode of use, even if the unit wasn't built to handle that.
