Walter White, the main character in the TV series Breaking Bad, drives a 2004 Pontiac Aztek. The Pontiac Aztek is a crossover SUV that was chosen to depict the "baby boomer," lame, and pathetic side of Walter White. The car is not considered cool or aspirational, but rather a symbol of failed dreams. In the show, Walter White drives the Pontiac Aztek during the pre-Heisenberg era, before he starts "breaking bad". The car is known for its reliability and practicality, which would make sense for someone in Walters financial situation.
