44: Oldsmobile Silhouette
The GM dustbuster vans were not appealing by any stretch of the imagination, the elongated styling and lackluster performance just didn’t add up. Nevertheless, the company was attempting to innovate and the Silhouette was the companies first try. This was one of the first luxury minivans to hit the market, and at the time it was revolutionary. The minivan was more popular than ever but at the time Oldsmobile was not at the forefront of buyers’ minds. No automaker had tried to market a luxury-oriented minivan before, so this was a new concept.

That’s not to say that the Silhouette was uncomfortable, because it did feel right at home for most buyers. The interior was plenty spacious and there was a lot of cargo room to go around, but for the most part, the van was scorned for its radial exterior design. The “dustbuster,” as it was called by most of the automotive media, is not fondly remembered these days. GM continued to make attempts at a luxury minivan later on as well with the ill-fated Buick Terraza.
