In this episode I provide the history of the General Motors' "dustbuster" vans from 1990 to 1996, GM's first front-wheel drive minivans with a design so bizarre that it resembled the 1980's handheld vacuum. GM marketed them as the Chevrolet Lumina APV, the Pontiac Trans Sport, and the Oldsmobile Silhouette. Despite having some features that their competitors did not, they couldn't approach the sales of Chrysler and Ford's minivans, and went through a complete redesign after only 6 years. GM tried two generations of more "normal" looking minivans but still could not compete, resulting in ending all minivan production by 2009, except in China where the Buick GL8 is still made today.
