PONTIAC ACCESSORIES FUEL DRIVING FUN 

Pontiac is in the midst of a renaissance – reinvigorating the marketplace with new, responsive, driver-focused vehicles. Pontiac Accessories is helping propel this rebirth by offering sporty – yet refined – extras that Pontiac customers desire as a way to personalize the appearance and performance of their vehicles.

"Accessories help define the new power of Pontiac," said Nancy Philippart, executive director - GM Accessories. "They help drive that fun, sporty image and feel of Pontiac vehicles, especially the new offerings such as the Pontiac G6.  These accessories allow buyers to put their own stamp on their vehicles with the assurance they have been designed and tested to GM's standards for performance, durability and safety."

The Pontiac G6, with its contemporary, sensuous styling, class-stretching dimensions and European-bred handling dynamics, joins the Pontiac lineup for 2005 and offers buyers sporty additions to dress up their vehicles. These include a unique spoiler, exhaust tips and deluxe rubber floor mats.

The powerful, performance-oriented Pontiac GTO is available with a ground effects kit sure to please any tuning enthusiast. The kit includes front fascia extensions, rear fascia,grille inserts, a rear spoiler, side rockers and exhaust tips.

Pontiac’s new crossover sport van, the 2005 Montana SV6, adds tremendous versatility to the lineup. Buyers can add up to three overhead storage systems to keep small items handy, but out of sight. Each storage system is about 12 inches wide and about 9 inches deep, with a door that flips open and swings down, allowing customers to choose a variety of specifically designed inserts for carrying accessories. The inserts are designed to carry CDs or DVDs, two pairs of sunglasses, most cell phones, a first-aid kit, or two “snake light” flashlights.

For physically challenged customers, the Sit-N-Lift power seat provides convenient access to the right-hand second-row seating area. Operated by a remote control, the power bucket seat rotates, then extends out of the vehicle and lowers for easy entry and exit.
