I'd personally call the Aztek uglier than the cybertruck, somehow.

it was actually a pretty nice car. owners, for the most part, liked their car. the laughs came from comedians, memes and shit... non-owners.

yea. the front end of the production version was stupid, though, looking like two different cars got pancaked together. the pre-production concept from '99 had a much cleaner hood and front end. the funky ass end was functional and gave visibility in a time before backup cams became a thing.

I saw the prototype at a car show before it was released, and it looked pretty cool as an off-road camper that could still be a daily driver if needed. Looked like it would have been a hit among the Midwestern hunter types near me, then it came out, they dumbed it down, and tried to sell it to soccer moms.

It also paved the way for the Vibe, and other hot hatchbacks

I really dislike the notion of a SUV being considered a “hot hatchback”

Especially considering the hot hatch was born in the 70s
