Description[]
The Pontiac Aztek is a mid-sized crossover SUV produced by the Pontiac division of General Motors from 2001 to 2005. Designed by Tom Peters, the Aztek is notorious for its controversial styling; many enthusiasts classify it as one of the ugliest cars of all time. It is related to the Buick Rendezvous, which was essentially the same car but with styling more in line with that of Buick's lineup. The car is powered by a 3.4L LA1 V6 mated to a GM 4T65-E 4-speed automatic. In pop culture, the Aztek is notable for featuring in crime drama Breaking Bad, where lead character Walter White (Bryan Cranston) drives a faded pale green Aztek.
This casting depicts a heavily modified Pontiac Aztek with a front lip, ducktail spoiler and lowered stance. A pork pie hat and a pair of glasses are visible in the trunk in reference to Walter White from the aforementioned show. The base on prototypes is misspelled "Pontiac Aztec Custom".
