The Pontiac Aztek
(credit: www.autoblog.com)
The Aztek was a flop. It killed Pontiac, a branch of GM that was running since the mid 20's. Now you may say:
"Pontiac stopped producing cars in 2010!", to which I say, Pontiac officially stopped being a car company in 2010, yes, but everyone stopped buying them after this.
Remember when Pontiac was the performance division of GM? It was great. You got things like the Bonneville, the Firebird, and the GTO. What went wrong?
We ended up with a crossover (bad), that looks like it has gone through the cuisinart (also bad). It looks like the tailgate has been blunted, and it has a fusion of Nissan Juke and C-Max. It has stacked grilles and double headlights. It isn't cool if you don't cut-and-paste another fascia on your car!
Apparently it was way too expensive for the Gen X buyers it was targeted at. I found out there was a picture of the Aztek on the door of Rich Wagoner, captioned, "Never Again".
Do you have any thoughts about cats? What drives you crazy? I welcome all respectful comments, so keep it clean. One post a week, so stay tuned!

It makes me sad. What an ignoble end to a once great car company 😾
ReplyDeleteyeah, remember when the kid with the GTO was the cool one? Now he's the one lacking in taste.
Delete😿😿😿😿
ReplyDelete:( indeed
DeleteSpot on. The GrandAm was the last 'Great White' of the Pontiac world.
ReplyDeleteYes, after that, it was just a bunch of import looking stuff.
DeleteJoking aside, it is a shame
ReplyDeleteI had a friend that had one.. ugly car but we could always find it! Haha
ReplyDeleteWhen it's convient to jump in the own car, please don't underestimate the parking place problem in Dubai/Abu Dhabi. You may end up in wasting time looking for one or pay an arm and leg using paid parking for staying at any destination for a couple hours. Therefore to use a cab will be much cheaper. It also would take a couple days alone to get used to the none existing street etiquette of some drivers/walkers here and you also would waste much time to find your destination.
