If Breaking Bad came on the air now, Walter White would be driving the SwastitruKKK instead of the Aztek, which was the ugliest vehicle of all time, at the time.

I always figured there was an untold backstory of WW getting that Aztek, in which he goes into the dealership, and they instantly pegged him as malleable, so they pressured him into the fugliest vehicle on the lot, that NOBODY else would even look at. But he was too weak to resist the sales pitch, so he drove home in the horrible Aztek.

    The Aztek may be ugly, but at least it's functional and practical, at least for the purpose it's built for.

    It had a tent as a back gate option. Loved that car.

    Wiring harness kept melting itself though, leading to a brake failure on the way back to the dealership.

    Traded it for a Mercury Mountaineer.

    It's still not an anachronism like the cybertruck.

    The cybertruck looks like a concept car an autistic kid in the 80's would've drawn and dreamt of creating one day.

    I can't image why.

    I'd say ugliest of all time went to another car that was featured on Breaking Bad: the PT Cruiser, appropriately used as a car gift that causes insult rather than happiness.

    Though I'd bet the actual backstory to WW's Aztek is Pontiac paid them a bunch of money to use it in the hopes that it would boost sales if the show became popular.

    My PWT aunt's favorite car was the pt cruiser. She was over the moon when she got one.

    She get it real cheap used? They had a decent reputation because the new ones were mostly owned by old boomers that didn't push them very hard, so they were reliable (relative to the rest of the used car market), though that didn't help the way they looked or performed.

    The PT Cruiser is okay, but the Prowler was better.

    But why would they do that? It's stupid looking in a bizarre way

    It won the Top Gear Car of the Year 2000. It was also voted Top Gear Magazine's Family Car of the Year for four years in a row, from 2001 to 2004. It seats six in two rows. They had one variant that ran on propane. 12 year production run in Europe. Another 5 years in China. 343,000 sold. It was extremely space and fuel efficient, because of the design for aero.

    you want stupid and bizarre looking...

    I think this would be the car to be replaced by the cybertruck:

    In terms of obnoxiousness and poor taste (plus the humvee branding and quasi militaristic styling, during the Iraq invasion), the H2 evoked similar reactions as well
