  Buick Rendezvous - Wikicars
The Buick Rendezvous, introduced in the spring of 2001 as a 2002 model year vehicle and produced through the present, is a sport utility vehicle produced by the Buick division of General Motors.
Buick's first truck in its lineup since 1923, the Rendezvous was billed as a combination of the best attributes of a minivan (large cargo capacity, seating for up to seven), a luxury automobile (ride, handling, smoothness) and a sport utility vehicle (truck styling and available all wheel drive).
The Rendezvous is able to carry within its interior the proverbial 4'x 8' sheet of plywood, a common and useful task most of its competitors are unable to perform.

 Buick Rendezvous CXL (2002)
Recognizably a Buick, the Rendezvous is not a Buick car, and it is anything but conservative.
The definably Buick oval grille utilizes a dark painted "waterfall" section in the front panel and a massive chromed crossbar at the leading edge of the hood.
A venerable Buick styling fixture, a full-width taillight appliqué, surrounds an oval license plate holder at the rear.

 Buick Rendezvous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Buick Rendezvous, introduced in the spring of 2001 as a 2002 model year vehicle, is a sport utility vehicle produced by the Buick division of General Motors.
Like the Pontiac Aztek, the Buick Rendezvous is based on a shortened version of GM's second generation U platform minivans.
A wood package consisting of mahogany trim on the steering wheel, dashboard, console and doors was made optional on the CXL and was standard on the Ultra.

 Buick Rendezvous: SUV meets minivan - Nov. 14, 2001
The new 2002 Buick Rendezvous - aimed at the so-called crossover market for buyers who want to be seen in a sport/utility vehicle but don't want a truck-like ride - is Buick's best shot so far at attracting those younger families.
Rendezvous elements like the sloping side windows at the rear of the vehicle and the headlight treatment echo the more expensive Lexus RX300 - the first SUV to be a crossover hit.
Rendezvous also is one of the first models to get a new high-tech GM safety system.

 Buick: Rendezvous
Rendezvous, Buick's exciting new entry in the booming truck market, brings together an innovative combination of many of the best features of sport utility vehicles and premium sedans, with seven-person seating capacity.
The new Buick's overall appearance is suggestive of an SUV, yet it sets its own course with such elements as a striking grille that is a stronger, more substantial version of the Buick vertical-bar design.
Another advanced Rendezvous option is Rear Parking Assist, which uses four ultrasonic sensors to warn the driver of obstacles in the blind spot immediately behind the rear bumper.

GM, in contrast, moved with uncharacteristic speed, introducing the Buick Rendezvous in the spring of 2001 as an early 2002 model.
The Rendezvous is the Buick Century of car-based SUVs.
Buick dealers knock about $2,000-$2,800 off (the higher figure for the all-wheel-drive model—it must be proving harder to sell), and GM at the time I am writing this kicks in a $3,000 rebate or 0% financing.

 2006 Buick Rendezvous Reviews - ForbesAutos.com
Buick's new crossover sport utility, the Rendezvous, is a perfect example: The Buick is a knockout compared to the Pontiac Aztek, its mechanical twin.
Though it is a Buick, the Rendezvous — which is assembled in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico — marks a big departure from the tired styling look of other Buicks.
The average age of Rendezvous buyers is about a decade younger than it is for the rest of the Buick lineup — which, at 63, is among the oldest in the business.

 Buick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Buick is the fourth oldest marque in the world (Oldsmobile is/was the second oldest, and Mercedes is the oldest, GMC is now the oldest in the GM lineup, by only 1 year before Buick, and 5 years younger than Oldsmobile).
Buick began consolidating its lineup in 2005, replacing the Century and Regal with the LaCrosse, and the LeSabre and Park Avenue with the Lucerne in 2006.
It appears Buick may be preparing to abandon this styling cue for a new waterfall grille, as seen on the Buick Velite concept car from 2004 and the Buick Lucerne introduced for the 2006 model year.

 200X Buick Rendezvous CXL AWD Car Review
The Rendezvous is Buick's new entry into the growing SUV craze that has America looking like the "sportiest nation in the world," a cross-breed of SUV, minivan, and sedan that ends up being a surprisingly functional, good-driving winner.
Staying true to tradition, the oval grille has Buick written all over it, but instead of chrome, this grille is finished in a fl paint treatment that is better suited to its SUV mission.
Loyal Buick sedan fans will be doing double-takes on the road, knowing they just caught glimpse of the brand's signature, but wondering - "Hey...what was that?" This reaction should not be a surprise, as the Rendezvous is the first truck-based Buick since 1923.

 Buick Rendezvous Ultra - Short Take Road Tests - Car and Driver October 2004
In the Rendezvous, the 3.6 makes 245 horsepower (a 60-hp increase over the pushrod 3.4-liter V-6) and 235 pound-feet of torque (25 more), all the while maintaining nearly the same fuel economy.
When piloting this Buick, plan for these flaws by not expecting any increased forward progress until you mash the gas pedal and count to one-one-thousand.
But we continue to complain that dashboard info is difficult to see in sunlight, and the Rendezvous still has a lack of steering feel, excessive head toss over bumps, and reluctant handling, even with the upgraded wheel-and-tire package.
