[[File:Pontiac Montana -- 04-22-2010.jpg|thumb|right|250px|{{Center|2004 Pontiac Montana}}]] The '''Pontiac Montana''' was a [[minivan]] sold by the [[Pontiac|Pontiac Motor Division]] of [[General Motors]]. Before the 1999 model year, it was known as The [[Pontiac Trans Sport]]. Since 1997, its most popular [[trim package]] had been the 'Montana sport package'.<ref name=Better>{{cite web |url=http://betterparts.org/pontiac/pontiac-montana.html |title=Pontiac Montana |publisher=Better Parts LTD |access-date=20 July 2015}}</ref> It gave the minivan more [[SUV]]-like features. In 1999 Pontiac changed the name of the car line to the 'Pontiac Montana'.<ref name=CG>{{cite web |url=http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Pontiac-Montana-Overview-d472 |title=Pontiac Montana Model Overview |publisher=CarGurus®, Inc. |access-date=20 July 2015}}</ref> Pontiac wanted to change to a more [[wikt:sporty|sporty]] [[Performance car|performance]] [[image]]. But the change put it in direct [[competition]] with the [[Oldsmobile Silhouette]] and the [[Chevrolet Venture]].<ref name=CG/> For 2005, the van was redesigned. It had a higher, less aerodynamic nose to resemble an [[SUV]]. The Montana name was changed to '''Montana SV6''' in 2006.<ref name=Moibbk>{{cite web|url=http://www.moibbk.com/Pontiac%20Montana.html|title=Pontiac Montana information:|access-date=20 July 2015|archive-date=5 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305042147/http://www.moibbk.com/Pontiac%20Montana.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> No more improvements were made to the Montana models after the 2005 model year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.automotive.com/pontiac/montana/t3-13-3/#mod-drilldown-rest-of-article |title=Pontiac Montana |publisher=Automotive.com/TEN |access-date=20 July 2015 |archive-date=5 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150905180124/http://www.automotive.com/pontiac/montana/t3-13-3/#mod-drilldown-rest-of-article |url-status=dead }}</ref> Pontiac stopped selling them after the 2006 model year in the [[United States]
