2002 Pontiac Montana - Sportier Styling, True to Pontiac Heritage
Minivans may not be as popular as they used to be, thanks to Canada's obsession with the SUV, but they are still one of the only alternatives for large families. After all, minivans on the whole have only improved since we fell in love with them in the mid-80's, now with more models from more manufacturers offering more features and better performance.
After the 1990 - 96 composite resin paneled Lumina APV, Oldsmobile Silhouette and Pontiac Trans Sport, GM needed to make big changes in its minivan line-up. It wasn't that these vans didn't work well, it was more a question of North America's personal taste - not many people liked their futuristic styling. Conformity came in 1997, with the Chevy Venture, Oldsmobile Silhouette and Pontiac Montana. Public acceptance of this trio has been undeniably more positive.
Pontiac's 2002 Montana looks sportier than its Chevy Venture or Oldsmobile Silhouette siblings, but mirrors them in almost every other way. Available with no trim designation, SE, GT, 'Vision' or 'Thunder' packages the Montana offers up to 8 person capacity with access through passenger and driver side power sliding doors - optional. The base model includes power windows, locks and power heated mirrors, CD player, theft deterrent system, integral child seat, ABS and A/C. Versatrak AWD is just one of a long list of optional features that also includes a rear DVD entertainment system in the Vision model. The Montana Thunder edition incorporates SUV styling, 16" chrome alloy wheels, two-tone seats and a rear spoiler.
