The Pontiac Aztek is well-known for its grotesque looks. It is on many people's worst cars list for a reason. However, Pontiac designed it to be a car that its costumers can take out on an adventure. GM was actually quite brilliant when it came to inserting interesting features that not only were functional but were absolutely perfect for an adventure.

The Pontiac Aztek was a four-wheel-drive vehicle. However, it didn't have the ground clearance of a Jeep Wrangler. This could've been a problem on very tricky hills and rocky slopes, but the Aztek was very capable on basic camp trails. If GM were to remake the Aztek, it could benefit from better ground clearance and locking differentials. That way, it could reach more places.

One important thing that they really need to change is the looks. The same man who designed the Pontiac Aztek also designed the C7 Corvette. The man could've done better when designing the original Aztek, but it feels like he didn't really want to try. The looks didn't provide any function. Nor, did they visually appeal to the customer. The car looked like a Humpback Whale. The headlights were those stupid two piece things that you find on the world's ugliest cars, the Nissan Juke and the Jeep Cherokee. They have those two piece head lights and they too look absolutely horrendous. The back just looked foolish. The shape of the car was extremely odd. It was a hatchback sort of design, but it was tall. If GM decides to redesign the Aztek, they need to make it visually appealing.

One thing that GM shouldn't get rid of is the idea of having an adventure. The Aztek would've been brilliant at taking the family out on a vacation. The glove box was a cooler, and it worked properly. It was portable too. It isn't like those stupid luxury cars with their slightly cold box that is pretty useless. The cooler could be used as storage too with coin slots and CD holders. Not only was this great for the family vacation, but great for everyday use. The tailgate had a bench with built in seats and cupholders. This meant it encouraged tailgates at Football games. Not even Range Rovers have those.

The Pontiac Aztek had an epic party trick. It came with a tent and air mattress. I have never seen any other car that came with a tent. I have never slept in an Aztek before, but based on images I found on the internet, it looks quite comfortable. The Aztek had a clever way of storing the tent. It went into a container that lied flat on the ground so it didn't interfere with life.

The Pontiac Aztek would've been a great hit if it weren't so ugly. I am sure that it would sell if GM remakes it correctly.
