for what its worth:
"- Body structure and chassis reinforced to improve crash protection. "
i just think its insulting that theyve tried to infuse a minivan with SUV styling. i pity the fool that takes one of those sleds off of the paved road. :booty:
edit: just saw this: "40-gig, removable and downloadable hard drive cartridge - enough memory to hold 10,000 songs in MP3 or WAV formats"
ya thall hold about 600 songs in WAV format :sqfawk:

Eitherway it's no Camry or Accord 6-cylinder.

looks like the headlights are interchangable on these 4 vans....couldn't they have done more to make them more different from each other?:ugh:
though its a typical GM rebadging technique and a way to cut costs!

price
Will they still be available in two different wheelbases?
I actually don't mind the look. To me, the new Durango, with its bulbous new body, has a similar look, i.e. a van with a SUV nose grafted on.
In any case, I think they will be sold on low price. I don't think they will seriously sell against the Ody, Sienna, and Quest on quality, features, or performance.

as much as i hate the badge-engineering, and i'm not impressed with the overall package, you have to hand it to them in the interior department, as compared to this 2003 Venture interior:
But it's pretty lame to start claiming an ALL-NEW product that is just a full refresh.

GM needs to be shot...
:doh:
I thought it was Ford that owned Volvo? How is GM getting away with slapping a Volvo XC front end to a Venture?
so whats the "value" part? the whopping 200 horses and 220 lb-ft tq?? or is it the cheap fleet pricing for rental companies its referring to?
anyways keep it up GM you f'in screwups....
notice the new Titan and the upcoming toyota's response to the Titan and watch as the import brands eventually take over the Truck Market as well. SHAME SHAME SHAAAAME REALLY!
