The Buick Rendezvous, introduced in the spring of 2001 as a 2002 model year vehicle, is a sport utility vehicle. The Rendezvous boasted the ability to carry seven passengers when equipped with a third-row bench, a class-leading feature that Buick brought to market before its competitors. 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. In support of the Rendezvous’ intended role as a versatile accoutrement for busy, upper-middle class people with families, it provided a center console with storage space and power points for a laptop computer as well as a separate spots to hold a woman’s purse, a cell phone, pager or other small items that the owner would want to keep organized and readily accessible as well as an optional rear cargo organizer system and rear seat stereo system controls with headsets. On the uplevel CXL model, a driver information center on the instrument panel provided the outside temperature, compass functions, a trip computer that included readings of fuel economy, range and fuel used. An optional second generation heads-up display was also available.
