Article Abstract:
General Motors Corp's 1990-1996 Pontiac Trans Am minivans share their front-drive layout with the Chevrolet Lumina APV and Oldsmobile Silhouette. This generation has a 120-horsepower, 3.1-liter V-6 engine hooked to a three-speed automatic transmission. The body panels of these 1990-1996 models are made of a fiberglass-like composite material designed to absorb minor impacts and spring back without damage. Virtues include dual airbags in the later editions and acceleration with the 3.8-liter V-6 engine.

Article Abstract:
Ford Motor Co's 1993-1997 Probe models represents a significant improvement over the 1989-1992 generation of these cars. The latest generation delivers considerable punch and prowess for its price. Acceleration is excellent with the agile GT's V-6 engine and standard five-speed gearbox. Action from the four-cylinder engine is at least adequate with manual shift. Base model handling is secure and sporty. Visibility is better than in most sports coupes.
