Pontiac Aztek

The Pontiac Aztek is a mid-size crossover made by Pontiac in the United States for the 2001 to 2005 model years. Its weirdest quirk: You could order it with a tent that attaches to the back and an air mattress, and the center console lifts out as a cooler.

General Motors' early crossover is remembered for its looks, which Time's Dan Neil called deformed and scary. Underneath it was a thoughtful camping machine.
