Chevrolet and Warner Bros. have joined forces to combine family travel and family entertainment with the premiere of the Chevrolet Venture Warner Bros. Edition minivan. Venture, with its high customer marks for versatility and safety, is enhanced by its association with Warner Bros. The Chevy Venture Warner Bros. Edition is designed to help make family road trips fun and safe. It has an overhead flip-down LCD video monitor -- with Warner Bros. logo -- and console- mounted stereo video cassette player with remote control so kids (and other rear-seat passengers) can watch their favorite Warner Bros. videos or play video games. Additionally, a tri-mode audio system allows as many as three audio sources to be played at once and adds two headphone jacks for the third row. A happy, entertained family helps the driver to concentrate on driving. "Chevrolet and Warner Bros. have teamed to make the ultimate family road trip machine -- the new Chevy Venture Warner Bros. Edition," said Dan Keller, Chevrolet Venture Brand Manager. Consumers also become part of an ongoing relationship that gives them special access to Warner Bros. entertainment upon purchasing the Venture Warner Bros. Edition. The membership benefits include free videos and compact discs, as well as items not available to the general public such as discounts at Warner Bros. Studio Stores, early access to Six Flags theme parks, sneak previews of Warner Bros. movies and other amenities which are currently being developed. "With the Chevy Venture Warner Bros. Edition we bring 75 years of entertainment history to the family road trip," said George Jones, President, Worldwide Licensing and Warner Bros. Studio Stores. "Whether going to the grocery store or grandma's house, family travel will be an entertaining experience." Designed to appeal especially to women with children, the Venture Warner Bros. Edition has a Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price of $29,575 (including $580 destination charge). Features that contribute to the Venture Warner Bros. Edition's special appearance, versatility and safety include: -- Exclusive dark gray interior with leather seating surfaces and cloth inserts on lightweight, modular bucket seats that flip and fold to easily change from passenger carrying to cargo hauling mode. The Chevy Venture offers as many as 200 different seating configurations. -- Chrome Chevy Venture and Warner Bros.

Edition brings a new level of family entertainment and safety to the most versatile minivan ever -- Chevy Venture," Keller said. *Always use safety belts and proper child restraints, even with air bags. ** Front-seat side-impact air bags help reduce the risk of certain injuries to front-seat occupants in side impacts.
