Pontiac Aztek and GM Accessories Offer Versatile Lifestyle Accessory Packages

DETROIT - Driving just got a little more exciting when Pontiac Aztek and GM Accessories partnered to offer consumers a variety of unique lifestyle packages designed specifically for the outdoor sports enthusiast.

Pontiac Aztek, the world's first Sport Recreation Vehicle (SRV), was conceived to be the most flexible and accommodating vehicle on the market. Its versatility is showcased through four lifestyle accessory packages uniquely developed to suit specific customer needs.

In an ultimate expression of flexibility, Aztek will offer hiking, biking, camping and sport appearance packages. "The Aztek customer is adventurous and desires a vehicle that supports what they do for fun. Aztek, along with these packages, will enable them to passionately pursue their activities," said Aztek Brand Manager Don Butler.

The camping package includes a custom tent that securely fits over the rear half of the vehicle while the liftgate and tailgate remain open. The result is a weatherproof tent that shelters you from the elements in a comfortable, secure setting. Aztek takes the camping experience to a new level with a fitted air mattress that rests on the wide flat load floor when the rear seats are removed or in the flip and fold mode. Consumers can instantly inflate the air mattress using the optional auxiliary accessory outlet located in the rear of the vehicle.

The biking package offers enthusiasts a choice of an interior or exterior mounted bike rack. The deluxe rubber all-weather floormats and washable waterproof seat covers are critical when trekking through muddy terrain or bike paths.

The hiking package includes a custom lightweight backpack large enough to store bottled water, towels and other necessary hiking items. When not in use, the backpack can simply be attached to the rear of the front-seats. Hikers will also enjoy the deluxe rubber all-weather floormats and washable waterproof seat covers.

The appearance packages have been designed for the image conscious. For the more athletic look, the sport appearance package offers a molded hood deflector, vent visors, deluxe rubber floor mats and window decal.

The array of packages will be available for purchase through Pontiac dealerships beginning this summer.
