We took your feedback and made this happen. Chip Foose can tackle any flawed design and improve it, and the Pontiac Aztek was universally ridiculed for good reason. The original concept car from 1999 certainly had merit, but all the intended energy and presence went down the drain when the concept met the "hard points" of GM's U-body minivan platform. A cool Pontiac SUV based on a Pontiac Montana? Good luck with that: The end result was offensive to most eyes, ill-proportioned, and its plastic clad body was so ungainly that a mid-cycle exterior refresh happened in the second year of production ... nearly unheard of in the car design business.
Luckily, Chip Foose is a man with a plan.

Chip, I was a sculptor in the Saturn Studio at GM when Pontiac needed a place to model the Aztek. We had an extra plate so in came the clay. From the very outset the car had become an engineering controlled model. The original show car was morphed into an existing platform and we had no real choice but to model the car under duress. The sculptors mostly disliked what it was becoming and had no real say in the matter. Needless to say it became what it did. Bad press and poor decisions aside, I think GM caved in too easily and the Aztek came to an unnecessary end. In all actuality the vehicle was a great suv though. And it started a kind of trend in SUV design. I actually owned three of them and never had an issue with them. In fact my grandson still has my last one, an ‘05, with over 200k miles. No rust and still strong. Say what you will about the design, it’s not near as bad as some of the examples that followed from other companies. Think Toyota BJ Cruiser, Nissan Cube, Kia Soul IMHO. Thanks for doing this design rehash. I think you may have captured the essence of what the Aztek was all about!

Interesting background. The only one that caught my attention was the one off created by the GM's performance division. It's charcoal gray, has a shorter front clip that's similar looking to Chip's front design, has a LS1 engine w/a heavily modified firewall pushed back, the tailgate was sealed up & shorter hatchback, & slammed to the ground w/custom ground effects. It was a helluva one off, saw it in a car audio mag 1st. Happened to look it up several years ago & saw images of it on Woodward, possibly during a Woodward cruise. Amazing what they brought out of that. Overall, well executed...

I can watch Mr. Foose draw all day or at least have a top perspective camera shoot down on to him drawing. You can learn so much in his drawing style. During my college years we had a car design division, their rapid sketching of cars to clay designs are fantastic. I give salutations to Mr. Foose in graduating from the Harvard of art schools, The Art Center in Pasadena California one of the toughest and expensive art schools worldwide. Mr. Foose is a gift to this world in showing the world his beautiful designs and creations.

Chip has shined a light on the age old struggle between designers and engineers. Both are equally important in bringing cars from concept to showroom, but quite often the excitement of the vision and concept has been lost by the time the engineers have figured out what has to be changed to make the vehicle structurally safe and able to contain the thousands of components beneath the skin. Throw in the cost cutting accountants and you end up with a rolling mail box for a car.

I loved my Aztek, 7 years and 386000 km before a yo yo lighting a cigarette ran a red light and took my front end off. I only had one issue in all the time I had mine. It was a bit of a brick on the highway with a head wind against me, but in general it had good pick up and handling. If you look at many newer vehicles many take some of their styling cues from the Aztek. The front end and back end inspired many more expensive and luxurious cars. It stood out as being different, like the Slave One in Star Wars. My father-in-law called it the big yellow abortion. I'm on my third vehicle since it was written off and when ever I see one on the road I always have fond memories of it.

Always wanted to see you draw one of these! We bought one new in the fall of 2001 since we needed a roomy family vehicle that got decent mileage and they were heavily discounted by then. It was with us until spring of 2019 with almost 250k of memories on it. Having a separate tailgate/hatch made it super handy for everything - even lumber, car camping, almost all of Route 66, multiple trips to Colorado including Pikes Peak, and some light off-roading.

It was built on an ordinary and plain mini van platform. That said, I eventually bought one new. It was a fabulous family vehicle, could tow well and as I found out from many owners, they loved them. That was not the case until I sat in one and got over the exterior faux pas's. Never regretted that purchase.

It’s never boring when Chip’s brain hamster jumps in the wheel and this design certainly didn’t disappoint. It really is amazing how so many production cars that were less than pretty, could be changed into something gorgeous with just a few modifications sometimes. For those who would love a cool old classic but have a less than pretty budget, get inspired by car people with imaginations like Chip. Affordable and you won’t have 30 other people at cruise night with the same car as you.

L Kendrix Cost efficiency and safety are the two main contributing factors as to why concept and production vehicles look so different. Concept cars don’t have regulations as to how high a bumper has to be or how low a window line can be for a side curtain airbag to properly be implemented. Always have to have safety first.

@@lkendrix7782 bc it's impossible. One has restrictions and the other doesnt. Concepts are to assess customer and press interest in ideas, design exercises, showing a line of cars design language and branding in another light (halo effect). Unless you get remove safety and cost standards concept cars wont become road legal and production vehicles. Think if a car can use 1000 parts off bin vs if it has to have those 1000 parts custom made or ordered.. the closest you'll see to your dream achieved is limited run super cars like new aston maston valkyrie or gordon Murray's t50. They meet standards through clever and expensive engineering solutions. For example both have naturally aspired cosworth v12 that have 4 separate catalytic converters to meet emissions standards (1 for every 3 cylinders).

I bought my 2003 Aztek in October 2022 with only 8 miles on it. Despite the poor dashoard design (the two parts separating, probably thanks in part to the Florida sun & heat), the lift gate cyinders drying out and a few minors repair issues, I still have mine. 88,000+ miles and still going. I love my Aztek and will be heartbroken when I have to get a new car.

In August 2017 I was approached by an editor of a very well known magazine called Smoke Signals (Pontiac Oakland Club International). They were breaking ground on a story all about the Aztek and needed a nice example for the magazine pictures. I have a very low mile, one owner, 2004 Aztek Rally complete with all options including the tent package. So my Aztek was featured along with The Daytona Pace Car Aztek owned by a past Pontiac Designer who worked directly with the legendary Pontiac GM John DeLorean. The eight page article would include interviews by director of Pontiac Design Studio II (John Schinella). Also interviews with Rutledge Wood top gear who had one on the show a few years ago. The title ended up being called “Odd Angles” that included never seen before concept photos from Saturn and other concept pictures that showed use of a 4th gen Camaro windshield that gave a better angle, look than resulted in production. These pictures were released exclusively from GM archives to be used in the magazine. I had the opportunity to meet John Schinella, Tom Peters,and others. I own a nice collection of classic Pontiac muscle cars, and an Aztek. Yes I actually still carry the torch for one of these weird vehicles. Who would think owning an Aztek would give such an opportunity to meet these great designers? Since the magazine released in August 2017, I have been known as “The Aztek Guy” and mentioned in many KZfaq videos such as Doug Damaro and most recently on VINwiki just to mention a few. It’s been fun to say the least!!

The 2001 was the only year for the gray side cladding and orange front signal lens, from 2002 to 2005 they went with body colored cladding and clear front signal lens.

Looks great, like a mix of the concept and a BMW X5. I like where he went with the rear glass. The wheel proportion is nice as well, kind of a staggered hot rod look. It will be interesting going forward with modern production technics with how much 3d shape they add to a front end, they could add more of a arrowhead pointed shape. Also with the addition to electric propulsion, they you might able to do a staggered wheel diameter combo since there so no mechanical coupling of the front and rear axles.

I know you’re a designer but as someone that cares just as much about features and practicality as they do looks, I loved the Aztek. It was cutting edge and had features no one else was offering. Especially great for camping. It had a heads up display. Power outlets in the cargo area. Large hidden storage bins everywhere. Built in compressor for airing up tires after off roading or blowing up a river raft or air mattress. Built in fold out camping tent. Etc etc. the Aztek was awesome... besides it’s strange looks.

Add crumple zones, 3mph bumpers, roll over beam space under the roof, on-hand production parts and part attachment points... Also, IMO, The back is HUGE. I wonder how it would do in rollover tests. What IS possible is quite remarkable. Take a look at profiles of the original Honda Fit/Jazz. It's unfortunate that design was in the US only 2 years. Absolutely NO space was wasted. It's amazing how they crammed the gizzards in that profile. It was huge inside. With respect. Regards.

Great redesign Chip. It's too bad you weren't on the design board over at GM when the Aztek was being drawn up. Maybe it wouldn't have killed Pontiac. Your redesign still looks modern today! GM - make this a Hummer EV! BTW - the designer of the Aztek went on to design the C7 Corvette. Doesn't make sense how he failed spectacular on the Aztek, but was wildly successful with the Corvette. That just goes to show how the accountants were in charge over at GM.

I really like your drawing and I wish this is what it looked like in production. Does your design feature a wrap around rear window to the sides that is one piece? If so I really like that. It certainly looks that way in the drawing.
