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. But he was too weak to resist the sales pitch, so he drove home in the horrible Aztek.
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.
The PT Cruiser is okay, but the Prowler was better.
The pity Cruiser.
Prowler = Boomer car for Pep Boys car meets.
