In a shocking act of de-fugging, Buick (or should I say GM) is killing off two of it’s siblings. Actually - you might not have been aware there were two. The Rainier and Rendezvous look so similar you might have thought they were the same car.
Strangely though, Buick is keeping the Terraza "crossover" minivan. Cause you know - when I think American luxury I picture a minivan. Not only that, it no longer has a car that even resembles an SUV (well - Terraza looks like a Minivan pretending to be an SUV), which is strange given their popularity in this day of high gas prices.
The Rainier is a clone of the Chevy Trailblazer, GMC Envoy and the Saab 9-7X (and the also dead Oldsmobile Bravada). The Rendezvous is based on a modified platform that is used by the Terazza/SV6/Uplander/Relay, and is shared with the Aztec and Vue.
For those of you unfamiliar with the above: the Rainier is on top, followed by the Rendezvous with the Terraza last.
