Image?

I would really appreciate it if someone could add an image to this article. I've found some at [1] , but I'm still getting the hang of uploding images and it would save me alot of aggravation if someone else did it. Thanks- Bavaria 07:23, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Chevrolet Venture

Despite GM's marketing, as a corporate clone of the Chevrolet Uplander, this vehicle is still a full blooded Chevrolet Venture and does not merit its own article. "Despite the change in name and outward style, the Chevy Uplander does not represent a full redesign of the Venture -- passenger and cargo space are nearly identical."[2] Novasource 15:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They should NOT be merged. All the articles are long and different enough. The cars are use the same body but if you think about it they are actually quite different. -Bavaria 17:22, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, completely different

Actually, they are completely different vehicles. How is a 3.4-litre V6 that has 185 hosepower at 5,200 rpm similiar to a brand new, redesigned, and remastered 3.9-litre V6 that has 240 horsepower at 6,000 rpm?? Plus, space is still bigger, and almost all of the things are different. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.234.26.170 (talk) 11:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great minivans

The GM minivan family is the biggest global minivan family in the world.

It all started out with the 1986 Pontiac Trans Sport Concept.

Future-

As part of most Pontiac dealerships also selling Buicks and GMCs, the Lambda-based GMC Acadia crossover SUV will replace the Montana SV6. In Canada and Mexico, where the van has a loyal following, sales will continue. The last SV6 in the United States of America rolled off the assembly line on July 7, 2006. GM will give the 2008 Pontiac Montana a facelift for Canadian and Mexican markets to attract more buyers to see if they will improve and give a boost in sales in Canada. General Motors will get a redesigned version of the Pontiac Montana soon, so expect to see something big from the GM minivans soon.

Some people tend to think that the GM minivans are all the same and there was barely any changing. But, research proves that fact wrong. These minivans had changed completely over the years and now they are completely different; it's like comparing a Chevrolet Malibu to a Mitsubishi Montero or something. They also have the best value in the minivan class. The parts of the Venture and Uplander have no what-so-ever connection to each other. Same goes for the Chevrolet Lumina APV. For example, the Opel Sintra and Pontiac Montana are twins, but they have completely different engines, which have almost no borrowed or copied parts from each other. And they are pretty different in their parts, although they have almost the same design. Still, the Montana and Sintra are related and very similar, same goes for the Chevrolet Venture and first-generation Buick GL8, the Oldsmobile Silhouette and Vauxhall Sintra, and so on.

Also, some say that the GM minivan line will end soon(which also includes the Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari, but we are not talking about them now), but they are wrong. The Montana will be redesigned for 2008, which might mean the others too, and GMC will add a new minivan for 2009.

Another statement that some people think is that the poor 1997 Pontiac Trans Sport crash test explains everything, but GM improved the safety of the Montana, making the safety have the following chart-

Driver- 5 Stars Passenger- 4 Stars Rear Passenger- 4 Stars Rear Passenger- 3 Stars

The Pontiac Montana is avaliable in two-Tone paint, like Navy Blue and Black, Red and Gold, and so on, or normal paint (only the Pontiac Trans Sport), like Red, Aquamarine, Silver and so on.

The Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, Buick Terraza and Saturn Relay are the safest any vehicle can get, with a 'Good' Rating, the best rating there is. Below is the official video.
