Pontiac – other models: the collective page of vans and estates outside the named ranges, Trans Sport, Parisienne and Safari as N1 commercial versions, 62 to 108 kW, 2,260 to 6,200 cc
This page gathers Pontiac models registered as N1 commercial vehicles even though they are in fact large vans and estate cars from the brand. Represented are the Trans Sport van with its characteristic steeply raked windscreen and the later Montana SV6, plus estate versions of the large Pontiac Parisienne and Pontiac Safari, registered as a cargo van or commercial estate for business transport. The abbreviations within the model names, such as STW for station wagon and cargo van, indicate the body style.

The register lists 17 versions here with recorded outputs from 62 to 108 kW, displacements from 2,260 to 6,200 cc across six to eight cylinders, kerb weights from 1,580 to 2,000 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,140 to 2,720 kg, lengths from 4,940 to 5,550 mm and widths from 1,830 to 2,040 mm.
Such re-registrations of large American cars and vans as light commercial vehicles are widespread especially in markets with tax advantages for commercial vehicles; the large Parisienne and Safari estates come from GM's B-body programme of the 1980s, the Trans Sport from the first generation of GM minivans of the 1990s.
When buying used, the V8 estates call for checking rust on the frame and sills, the condition of the transmission and cooling system, and the originality of the interior trim; on the Trans Sport, the condition of the plastic body panels, the suspension and the front-wheel-drive layout that was novel at the time. Parts for the high-volume GM models are comparatively well available on the North American used-parts market.
