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.

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.

She got it new when they first came out.

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

The pity Cruiser.
Prowler = Boomer car for Pep Boys car meets.

The Prowler didn’t look quite as lame but got extra lame points for following the trend set by the PT Cruiser.
Apparently the turning radius of the PT Cruiser was comparable to some large ships.
