Pontiac Aztek

Pontiac says the Aztek is an innovative crossover solution that combines the best attributes of a midsize sedan, van, and sport utility. Overall length is 4550 mm (179 in.); width is 1960 mm (77 in.), and height reaches 1700 mm (67 in.). Aztek's instrument cluster features Delphi Delco Electronic System's Ultra-lite technology, which uses a thin sheet of acrylic to channel light to the yellow primary-display graphics. An electronic instrument display behind the cluster contains an interactive, reconfigurable telltale (RTT) that gives the driver real-time information about vehicle systems. The RTT features an LCD screen and dot matrix digital display and allows more information to be displayed in a smaller space. Other interesting interior features are a center console that slides on a track between the instrument panel and rear seats, while an overhead console features a fold-down LCD monitor attached to a Pioneer entertainment system.
