The Pontiac Aztek wasn't ugly, it was ahead of its time

Just finished watching this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLV2ONoqARc

Aside from cringing from the corniness, I can't help but think that those features in a car today would make it sell to today's outdoorsy folk and green-loving hipsters. Cars today are mundane and bland, especially smaller SUVs which are rubber stamped facsimiles of one another. I hold that if the Aztek were released today with more modern amenities and build quality, but retained the features and funky styling, they would have sold more. If my wife's Grand Cherokee had half of those features, I'd have a hard time not stealing the keys from her and making it my own.

Also, if you compare the Aztek's styling to say, the current Jeep Cherokee or current Prius, I think you'll see a ton of styling similarities.
