GM has never had a competitive minivan (aside from the original truckish Safari / Astro).
I beg to differ - the dustbusters were really good!

The sad thing is that GM actually had pretty good and competitive cars all along in their European offerings, just failed to bring them to the US customers. Once Ford got their stuff together for once and co-developed the Focus in nearly the same form for all worldwide markets, it became a runaway hit everywhere. It seems the Fiesta will follow.
