WASHINGTON (AP) - The 2005 Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac Montana SV6, Saturn Relay and Buick Terraza, newly redesigned General Motors Corp. minivan models, offer better protection for occupants than do earlier versions, according to the results of crash tests conducted by the insurance industry.
The Uplander and its three corporate cousins earned the top overall rating of good from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, an industry funded organization.
The group, which released the test results on Sunday, noted that GM's earlier minivan designs were among the worst-performing vehicles in the institute's frontal offset crash tests.
