These SUVs Never Should Have Been Made

2. 2001 Pontiac Aztek

The poor, Pontiac Aztek, owns the title of the ugliest SUV ever made. It marked a complete departure of industry conventions at the time and stood out as the antithesis of SUV design. The Aztek was big in all the wrong places and lacked the performance chops to back up its bravado.

The Aztek shared a chassis platform with GM minivans and had a 3.4 Liter V6 engine under the hood. It was a competent off-roader, but consumers couldn't get past its unsightliness to notice. The front end was marred by too many snorkels and eyes. The profile had too much paneling, and the rear was devoid of any style.
