"THIS IT IS TO BE A MAN OF THE HIGHEST TYPE. TO BE AND NOT SEEM; TO DO AND NOT SIMPLY TO TALK;
TO HAVE THE RIGHT IDEAL, THE TRUE MOTIVE AND PATIENTLY TO TRANSFORM CONDUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH IT
SO LET IT BE FOR SINFONIA."
- Ossian Everett Mills, March 15, 1912

The greatest minivan ever produced. It has been described as a "fire-breathing grocery-getter," equipped with a fairly powerful 3.1L, 3.4L or 3.8L V6. Introduced in 1990 and discontinued in 2004, one of the three "dustbuster" minivans produced by GM (see Pontiac Trans Sport, Chevy Lumina). Has more low-end torque than an identically-equipped sedan, since it hauls more cargo (ie seven people plus things). If the seats are removed, it beats some pickups in cargo room. People are surprised when they pass me, thinking that because I'm driving a minivan I must be going slow, when I pass them up by accelerating to 100 MPH.
