OnStar includes a hands-free phone. The
voice-activated dialing works well, but the
subscription fees are pricey ($40 for 100
minutes), and it is more frugal to outfit a
cell phone for hands-free use. Yet another
cost-effective option—only available to
Verizon cell-phone customers—is to share
your allotted minutes with OnStar’s phone
for a $10 premium per month.
On paper, the Terraza is overpriced in
comparison with competitors that offer
higher power, greater sophistication, and
more flexible interior configurations. But
in the real world, the Terraza will likely
sell at a substantial discount—one large
enough to deliver decent value to some
buyers. Even so, we wouldn’t expect this
machine to reverse GM’s longstanding
also-ran status in the minivan segment. ■
