This is an old thread.

New GM Minivan news went something like this.

1. SV6 is canceled in the US (but not Canada where it sells well), GM states Pontiac will NOT get another Minivan
2. Relay is scheduled to be canceled in the US
3. Word leaks that Chevy will get a Lambda based Mini-van
4. Rumor is Saturn may get the Zafria imported from Europe, GM doesn't comment.
5. GM unofficially "announces" that GMC will get a Minivan instead of Pontiac (mostly a response to Canadian Dealers who sell a lot of SV6's)
6. General Consensus is that Saturn is not going to get a Zafria cost and size are sighted by people as possible reasons.
7. GM unofficially "announces" it is getting out of the Minivan business

That's basically it.
