#1 of 4262 Rendezvous by shane2 Aug 02, 2000 (1:49 am)
Has anyone seen any more info than is available on the Buick website? It could be a cheaper alternative to a Lexus RX300 if the interior materials a not too cheap and if it has a quiet and refined ride. It had better be MUCH cheaper than a Lexus RX300 or it will fail. It is not nearly as ugly as the similar Pontiac Aztek though.

Looks like it will be out in the spring as a 2002 model. From what I have read in car magazines, it looks pretty good. My thoughts are to wait and see as our next lease comes up in early 2002. The other one we are interested in is the Saturn SUV which will be out in fall 2001. Check www.saturnfans.com for a preview.

If I am not mistaken, isn't the Rendezvous the same vehicle as the Pontiac Aztek with different sheet metal skin and a more upscale interior?
#4 of 4262 Same Vehicle by mark189 Sep 06, 2000 (1:05 pm)
Both vehicles are built on the GM minivan platform. For that reason, I would be concerned about their safety and reliability. GM minivans consistently rank near the bottom on all crash tests.
#5 of 4262 Reliability? by buzzbo99 Sep 06, 2000 (6:05 pm)
I have not researched the reliability of the GM minivan platform so I know nothing of its reliability. But since the Montana is made in GA and the Rendezvous is going to be made in Mexico I wonder if there are any differences in tooling or build quality? I suppose only the Aztek owners could shed any light on the subject.
#6 of 4262 Reliability by mark189 Sep 06, 2000 (7:55 pm)
The fact that they'll be built in a different plant is a good point. I think the Silverado pick up is also built in Mexico and has low reliability (per consumer reports). The new Tahoe/Yukon is being built in Mexico and Wisconsin so reliability at each plant would be hard to pinpoint. However, almost across the board, GM reliability is poor, with the exception of Buick. So, maybe this will be one of the better ones.
#7 of 4262 More Pictures? by buzzbo99 Sep 08, 2000 (12:41 pm)
I have the brochure and have seen the website, but I have only seen one small glimpse of the interior. I drove an Aztek and bucket seat was narrow with deep side bolsters. It reminded me of a Fiero I used to have. I also cannot get a clear picture in my mind of the rear window angle. (Does it slope like the Aztek.Does anyone know of another source of pictures? I believe early projections were for it to be on the market around next March? Anybody hear anything new?
#8 of 4262 Buick SW problems by masboot1 Sep 17, 2000 (7:44 pm)
I have a 94 Buick Roadmaster SW which is presently losing its second driver side door panel. This is an extremely expensive item to replace and I wonder if anyone else has had similar problems with this car.

nothing's falling off on the Rendezvous, because they are not building them yet.
#10 of 4262 Shows? by buzzbo99 Sep 19, 2000 (3:08 am)
I was looking at the 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada on www.bravadasuv.com and found a list of shows it will be displayed at. One of them will be at the Texas State Fair for a month starting next week. Has anyone seen where a Rendezvous will be on display?
