The Chevy Sportvan is gone, long live the Chevy Express. This is the newest full-sizevan on the market, all new from the ground up after a 25-year wait, and for Chevrolet, it's a chance to catch up to the Ford competition. That's because this is the first Chevrolet full-size van to have body-on-frame construction, after a quarter of a century of welded unitbody design that's difficult and expensive to modify for aftermarket use. Body-on-frame design is stronger and quieter due to better isolation from road inputs, and more durable, generally speaking, than unit body design.
