No, no, they're not minivans, they're crossover sport vans .

Anyhow, pretty ugly. They look kinda European to me. And I see GM is back at using the same sheetmetal for for the various iterations, something I though they moved away from with their Trailblazer sextuplets.

I always thought if you're going to build a new minivan, do something to make it different from all the others out there. The styling of minivans has to follow a basic formula after all...but I don't think this is the kind of "different" I was looking for.

Those are f'ing UGLY.

Looks like they were designed and built in a 3rd world country.

They look like Ventures with ugly front ends added. I hope those aren't the real versions.

I was very sad to see those pics. I am not going to buy a mini van at all but I had high hopes for the new GM vans. The styling is a big dissapointment.

The market is already flooded with this $hit. WHY are they making this? Anyone with any basic business knowledge, or common sense for that matter, would scoff at the idea of making a new pos suv/minivan hybrid pile of crap..........

It may be my imagination, but theres a hint of the Bel Air concept in the front of that Buick.

Is it possible that these are fakes????????

I thought the new vans were going to have an SUV look?

God help us all. The GM studios really have lost their minds.

Unfortunately, these are the real things.

Think about it. Is there any way for a "Crossover Sport Van" to look good?

It doesn't even look crossover at all, it's just Venture with different front end pasted onto it.

So now we have:

Venture
Montana
Olds (going extinct)
Terraza
Relay???
