What was so bad is that some of the original design drawings for the Aztek actually looked pretty cool. I don't know what was wroing with GM & Pontiac back then. We had a couple of new 90's Pontiacs; me a Trans Am, my wife a GTP Grand Prix. Both nice cars. So we were getting the Pontiac owners magazine back then and they showed all of their new models including pre-production drawings of the Aztek & new GTO. Both looked awesome and my wife was definitely getting a new GTO when they came out, that was until she saw what they actually came out with! Looked nothing like a GTO and nothing like the drawings. Hard to believe they can come up with such kickass designs and fail to include any of that in their production cars. R.I.P. Pontiac... I hope Chrysler doesn't go down the same path with their Challenger and possible future Barracuda...
