FactMontana started as a trim package on the Trans Sport, took over 80% of its sales, and Pontiac renamed the whole van after it.
The Montana name began as a trim of the second-generation Pontiac Trans Sport for 1997–1998, and GM dropped the Trans Sport name for 1999, when the van simply became the Montana. It was related to the Chevrolet Venture, Oldsmobile Silhouette and Opel Sintra and offered in short and long wheelbases as three- and four-door minivans for the 1997 to 2005 model years. Power came from a 3.4 litre LA1 V6.

An estimate, for the 3.4 LA1 V6 (LWB) trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

When the 3.9-litre V6 became the only engine in 2007, the SV6 lost its all-wheel drive, which could not handle the torque.
When the restyled Montana SV6 arrived for 2005, Pontiac kept building the old-shape Montana alongside it for one more year, selling it only to fleet buyers.

This Presage minivan shares its underlying platform with the Teana sedan and the North American Murano crossover — one architecture doing three very different jobs.
Subaru's family-hauling Exiga got an unlikely STi treatment in 2009 — front spoiler, sport muffler, tighter suspension and a leather Momo wheel — but only 300 were ever built.

Its steeply sloped windshield gave the Lumina APV one of the deepest dashboards ever fitted to a mass-produced car.
The first Presage wasn't really its own car underneath — most of its parts came straight from the Nissan R'nessa, with more shared with its platform twin, the Bassara.
