Pontiac's crossover sport van (CSV) adopts the Montana minivan moniker with a tag of SV6 to denote the standard V6 engine aboard. Wheelbase of the SV6 stretches long and the cabin has a capacity for seven riders plus cargo. Seats on second and third rows may be removed to make room for more gear, or the back bench, divided in half, folds forward at the seatback.
Base powertrain is a 3.5-liter V6 that reaches 200 hp with a four-speed automatic transaxle. GM's Versatrak AWD traction mechanism is optional, along with the StabiliTrak vehicle stability system. For FWD models, an optional engine arrives later in 2006 -- it's a new 3.9-liter V6 with variable valve timing (VVT) for 235 hp.
Fresh options for 2006 range from second-row side-impact air bags to a security package with remote vehicle starter, theft-deterrent alarm and front-seat side-impact air bags.
