Sure the aztek is nothin great to look at, but there are definitely worse looking cars out there.
And for years, pontiac was GMs unofficial "test" division. They would try a lot of weird stuff out there before giving it to chevy, caddy, etc.
Firebirds, GTOs, Fieros, Solstices are all pontiacs that i will definitely miss. I have a cat named Fiero  |
The point of the FJ Cruiser is something far, FAR different from the Aztec.
The FJ Cruiser is styled after the original FJ which today commands high prices at classic car auctions. It is legendary. It's Toytoas version of the Jeep CJ. And whatever you think about it's looks, the FJC sells because it's purpose built as an off road truck and would obliterate an Aztec. It's built like a tank and can do serious off roading right out of the showroom floor.
Hey no one buys the Jeep Wrangler because of it's svelte and sexy style either (sic).
So that analogy was quite a bit skewed.
