Those are my 3 Azteks at 9:33 Owned 4 in total and still drive one to this day! They're much better than people originally gave them credit for. So many great features about these Azteks. Back turns into a tent. Has a lot of storage area inside. Heads up display, sunroof, power seats, power mirrors, 9 speaker stereo system with steering wheel and rear controls, removable cooler, fold up and out rear seats, air ride suspension (some models) with rear air compressor, multiple power outlets and much more. People thought they looked ugly then but have a cool look now. VT247

The wiper mounted squirter is a great idea and used on many brands. They were not the first either.i recall road and track having said "the Pontiac Aztec is like a vagina,. kinda ugly on the outside but once your on inside it's nice."

[@revoredline]

The Pontiac Aztek was ahead of its time. So many CUV's on the road now

2008 was a wild year for entertainment. We had: The Dark Knight, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Wall-E, Handcock, I am Legend and Breaking Bad. You never really think that these all came out in the same year. Especially not The Dark Knight and Breaking Bad. Feels like Breaking Bad came out in 2012 for some reason.
