The new Montana/Venture van

[Mavrik]

We got a few on the lot now and if you thought these were ugly in the pictures, real life is a horrifying reality. They need to recall the appearance, its a safety hazard to my eyesight.Interior is nice though, a lot better then the old ones though the old ones were not to bad. but... yeah that front end is horrid.

Yes I do not like the outside and correct me if I am wrong, it does not have all fold flat seats, just very the rears. Come on GM, Chrysler has it and you need it too!

I've said it before, but I like the new look. Minivans were never meant to be on the high end of style, so just something that looks different is a statement.

I would have liked a more minivan-ish sort of appearance with the new GM vans... The SUV wanna-be thing just doesn't look quite right to me...

Why Chevrolet.com? Why notPontiac's Montana Pageor the Montana SV6 page?

It's that dang grill.I say, BRING BACK THE AZTEC!

I got a chance to look at a new Montana up close at the dealer today (er, yesterday.) From the front doors on back, it looks good. The front, ugh - really looks out of place, out of proportion with the rest of the vehicle. The interior, OTOH, is very nice. Miles ahead of what my sis has in her '03 Venture.I'm probably just old-school in my ways of thought though, I want my minivan to look like a minivan, not some truck. But that may go over better with the soccer mom's of today who want to have their suv's. Whether this formula works for GM or not has yet to be seen... I hope it does for their sake, since they're going to have a Chevy, Pontiac, Saturn, and Buick all sharing the same design. Probably would be costly for them to come up with a new front end real quick like for all those vehicles.
