Why it matters

GM used the Aztek to show it could design a hip, affordable vehicle for young buyers. Its styling was sharply polarising, and it clashed with engineering limits. Many dealers and enthusiasts came to treat it as a symbol of over-styled cars.

History

The Aztek began as Project Bear Claw, a 1994 sketch for a smaller, rugged, tall-wagon-style vehicle. The show car that followed was shown in Detroit in January 1999.

Pontiac began rolling out the Aztek in 2000. Sales started slowly at about 2,000 a month, and GM cut its annual sales forecast from 75,000 to 50,000.
