The Aztek, an angular and beefy SUV-minivan cross that was unleashed on consumers in 2000, was so ugly that Car and Driver's reviewer was accosted at a gas station by someone who demanded to know, "You're getting paid to drive that thing, right?" The Aztek got high marks for its ample cargo space, but there was no getting around the fact that you had to look at it. McKeel Hagerty, CEO of collector-car specialist Hagerty Insurance, says it was one of the first cars designed on a computer-aided design system. "Apparently, it looked much better onscreen than in person," he says.
Collector prognosis: Its bizarre looks and spectacular sales failure will lure collectors.
Bing: Pontiac Aztek
