RFD Cool Wall: Car #28 - General Motors Minivans

[puff_daddy_58_99]

Thanks to all who voted last week, here's the cool wall updated with the s-class as the newest entry in the cool category;

It was requested last week that we throw a minivan up on the cool wall, which is a good idea if not just for some variety. This week's entry is really 1 car with 4 different names and badges attached to it; the Saturn Relay, Buick Terraza, Pontiac Montana SV6, and Chevrolet Uplander. At the heart (and in fact, in 99% of the materials) these are all the same minivans, which are then rebranded for each of the different product lines in General Motors. Cool? You decide.

As always voting will end next saturday so vote early. Also, if you have a request for a car you want to see on the cool wall, send me a PM.

Pontiac Aztek is also based on the same platform. U platform == Design tour-de-force for GM.

[Anessa]

I was thinking more along the lines of a Sienna or Odyssey or Mazda 5 but thanks for getting the variety in :cheesygri

And what marketing genius thought of the name "uplander"?!

GM marketing chief: "The GM Uplander is a "higher" model than the Toyota Highlander!" :lol: :cheesygri

finally someone figured it out!!!

don't worry though, the cool wall will be back to normal next week. I'm thinking it's time for the Impreza and the Brera to join the cool wall.

By the way, for those particular van's I'm going with seriously uncool, they might as well have brought the Aztec back into production.

However, the new crossovers like the Acadia are really nice looking and I honestly (as a 20 year old) wouldn't mind driving one of those. Also the CX-9 I believe it's called by Mazda looks awesome and has three rows of seats. Again I believe it'd fall under crossover as well.

THIS minivan is SERIOUSLY uncool.... looks like a pig (which to my surprise there's a picture of one in this thread!)

i rather drive a SUV.

[cereal83]

I would rather drive a Yaris with 7 people in there then any minivan made by any company!

[Ojam]

ok, one question, how the hell did they manage to make the Chev look so much uglier then the rest of these ugos??!!

[Mr D J]

Lol, I voted sub-zero just for fun. But they are seriously uncool. My dad drives an Uplander as his company car. It is ok inside but exterior is UGLY as something (I just have no words).

[AzN_RiverdaleCI]

exteriour is seriously un-cool.

[CompWizrd]

Oh hell no.. our 2005 Montana can barely break 20mpg going down the highway.. city is even worse.

[weedb0y]
