I always thought the pup tent attachment on the Aztek was cool! And the little see thru panel at the back reminded me of my Honda CRX. (before it threw a rod on 495 at midnight!)

I had a new one when I worked for Chev. The front fenders rotted in 9 months. Chev. offered me new fenders. but only if I had 
a dealer install then at my cost. I repaired them myself.That car is still around with a big block in it.

The Vega was a really BAD car, my in-laws had one that I had some experience with. I think it was an early example of cost 
accountants overruling engineers. The radiator was too small for the engine, it was only adequate in the best of conditions. 
This resulted in many engines being replaced early in the life of the car. – it happened to my in-laws. 
Some accountant probably got a million-dollar bonus for saving 25 cents per car. 
   
That said, I think the Aztek set a standard for ugliness that probably hasn’t been surpassed. What were they thinking when 
they let that out?

What is really funny about this article is none of these cars were really that bad nor were they sales flops, the Vega which is probably the worst car on the list sold 2.1 million cars
