The Pontiac Aztek, a curious and polarizing SUV, debuted in 2001 for the 2002 model year, aiming to challenge the conventional minivan market with its unique blend of minivan practicality and SUV ruggedness. The Aztek sported an unconventional design, featuring a distinctive "swoopy" profile, a large, almost "boxy" front grille that some found reminiscent of a frog or a shark, and the inclusion of a removable storage module in the rear cargo area. Its interior was similarly unconventional, boasting a flexible seating arrangement, a large center console that could be configured for various purposes, and a "command center" with a touchscreen navigation system (optional).

Under the hood, the Aztek was powered by a 3.4-liter V6 engine producing 185 horsepower, coupled with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. While the Aztek offered a spacious interior with ample cargo space, its unusual design and lackluster performance failed to capture the public's imagination. Its controversial styling contributed to poor sales figures, despite attempts to revitalize the model with a minor facelift for the 2005 model year. Ultimately, the Pontiac Aztek ended production in 2005, leaving behind a legacy as a missed opportunity and a testament to the challenges of defying convention in the automotive market.
