Pontiac introduced the Aztek at the 2000 Detroit Auto Show and produced the proto-crossover the following year. Since then, it has been universally lauded as the ugliest car ever made in America.

The Pontiac 301 Turbo engine was available in the 1980 and 1981 Pontiac Firebirds. While most were installed in the Trans Am, some can be found in the Firebird Formula.
