That positions them well above base prices for both the Dodge Caravan ($17,815) and Ford Windstar ($18,995), which does not offer a second sliding side door. GM counters that its engine, the 3.4L V-6, delivers more horsepower (180) than its competitors, which range between 150 and 170 hp). Chevrolet officials say they already have 30,000 orders for the Venture. They expect the highest-volume version of the Venture to be the extended-wheelbase LS 4-door, which will be popularly equipped at $24,319.
