Pontiac Montana Positioned
to Win Over Minivan Buyers
DETROIT - With a new name, more power
and greater functionality, the 1999 Pontiac Montana is positioned to win over more minivan
buyers than ever.
Sport-Utility Flavor
When the new generation Pontiac Trans Sport was introduced
a couple of years ago with its aggressive Montana Package, minivan buyers brought it home
in record numbers. The Montana package has since proven so popular, the entire vehicle
line carries the name.
Power Sliding Doors
The availability of a passenger's side power sliding door on extended wheelbase models
enhances the convenience of this popular model. Functionality is further enhanced by
the standard split bench seats and the optional second row captain's chairs that forward for improved entry and exit for third row
passengers.
185 Horsepower
Improved air induction and a low-restriction
catalytic converter allowed engineers to boost power in Montana's 3.4-liter V6 engine to
185 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. The 3400 V6 is mated to a four-speed,
electronically controlled transmission with smooth shift points for enhanced driveability.
New Colors
New exterior colors for 1999 include Silvermist Metallic, Fernmist Metallic, International
Blue Metallic and Redfire Metallic. The two-tone lower appearance is now available in
either Light Taupe Metallic or Charcoal Metallic.
