1995: Pontiac Takes a Caravan into Mini-Van’dom
General Motors replaced its slow-selling minivans for the 1997 model year. More upright and conservative than the long-nosed dustbuster models, the second generation U-Van ditched plastic for steel.
Even after Pontiac and Chevrolet trimmed the nose of the 1990-93 Trans Sport and Lumina APV by three inches for 1994, it was obvious the styling was the reason one for the marketplace apprehension. The artist rendering clearly had the Chrysler van in mind when penning this interpretation, mixed in with a dash of Grand Prix for a little Pontiac family resemblance While the production version plainly more plain and timid, it is amusing to look back at what was happening prior to actual sighting and launches.
