Well, first off it's not $8000. That was just a number thrown out as an example. A 2004 Ody LX costs about $22k right now. My guess is a GM van is about the same. Even with a GM card credit you would come out way behind, even when you factor in interest. If you get a 2005 Ody and compare to a 2005 GM van, well, rebates aren't really high yet to I bet the savings will amount to very little. -juice |

Sorry, I thought that you knew that $8k figure for a fact. I know that in 2002, Honda Ody was 32k full msrp compared to my 2002 Silhouette GLS which msrp for 33k and I got it for 25k. Of course GM rebates/card points do help. So that 7-8k price difference did exist when I bought my van. Buick dealer by me has started to take names so they can call people when the Buick Tarazza starts to come in. Only time will tell. |

Me, I'd rather pay less to begin with. You can get a loaded up Venture for C$28K cash. Same Oddy will cost anywhere from C$37-40K. While I do think the Oddy is a better van over all, I know which one I would likely buy. GMs lower prices are and will attract families who look for van value. |

Hey, if the Honda was $32k I wouldn't have bought it either! :o) That's just more than I'm willing to spend, even if I can afford it. Also, I guess a lot of folks drive theirs into the ground, and in that case residuals hardly even matter. -juice |

I got to see a SV6 up close today. Someone on my sons soccer team is driving one. I have to admit it looks pretty good. The front end definatley makes it look more like a SUV. It was a gold colored model (sedona beige) with the chrome wheels. The interior looks very nice. Executed much better than the current vans. Fit and finish seem very good and the materials used are much improved. Not as good as the Honda or Toyota but better than the Ford rehash. I think they will do ok - especially when the massive incentives kick in. I am going to try and drive it this week - will let everyone know my impressions.

Let us know. I find many new vehicles look better in person than on a computer screen. |
|
| When will the new vans arrive to the dealers? | |
| I think early November | |
