Residents driving through town

may have noticed a strange new car patrolling the roads.

The vehicle is the new 2001

Pontiac Aztek, which is being called the most versatile vehicle on the

road.

In addition to be a rugged,

well performing car, the Aztec also serves as party central for folks

who like to tailgate during the fall. The car comes complete with tailgate

seats and cupholders that fold down on top of the car's tailgate.

Additionally, buyers can ask

for rear speakers to provide radio sound as you munch on your snacks before

the big game.

But perhaps the most amazing

thing about the Aztec is the flexibility offered. An optional camping

package quickly transforms the back of the car into a tent with a fitted

air mattress and inflator.

For bikers, Aztec offers a

biking package that includes a mounting package for a single bike and

a roof rack with a dual-locking attachment that features a quick release.

Hikers can choose the hiking

package that allows you to attach backpacks to the front seat along with

water resistant covers for the front and rear seats, in case you get a

little dirty hiking.

For all its versatile features,

the Aztec is still one of the more formidable cars on the road today.

A high-horsepower 185 horsepower engine gets you where you want to go

in a hurry.

Other standard features include

daytime running lamps, fog lamps and halogen-powered headlamps. The Aztek

seats five comfortably and also has a six-speaker AM/FM/cassette sound

system with an equalizer.

If you want to check out the

newest car that will soon be all the rage, make the short trip to Southtowne

in Newnan. The sales reps will be glad to let you test drive it.
