Launch at the Detroit Auto Show
Pontiac introduced the production Aztek at the 2000 Detroit Auto Show, marking its official entry into the market for the 2001 model year. The vehicle was marketed as a crossover SUV and was part of GM's lineup from 2001 through 2005.
Short Production Run and Brand Closure
Production of the Aztek ceased in 2005, and just four years later Pontiac itself was shut down in 2009. The limited production window makes original Aztek parts relatively rare, especially the Pontiac‑exclusive components like doors and interior trim panels.
A Polarizing Design That Gained a Cult Following
Often described as the most infamous Pontiac model ever produced, the Aztek's unconventional styling sparked strong opinions. Despite its mixed reception, the vehicle has become popular with a new generation of enthusiasts who appreciate its unique design.
