The original Aztek concept was kinda rad, like a sports version of the Pontiac Vibe, but then to build it they famously? infamously? used ‘computerized rapid-prototyping/rapid-visualization tools’ to stretch it to the existing minivan/crossover SUV platform.
I’m a fan of both of them, drove a Toyota Matrix for a week and almost bought a Vibe.
