As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries, since model year 2001 NHTSA has included rollover information as part of its NCAP ratings. One of the primary means of assessing rollover risk is the static stability factor (SSF), a measurement of a vehicle’s resistance to rollover. The higher the SSF, the lower the rollover risk.

For many years family transportation translated into a purely pragmatic form of driving, without any accompanying rewards. All that changed with the introduction of the Buick Terraza. Finally, a family vehicle that is as refined as it is versatile. A vehicle with real style, that is built to an exacting standard of quality. A vehicle employing sophisticated technology, such as the new 240 horsepower 3.9L V6 with variable valve timing on CXL FWD models*, as well as the added safety and security through the standard OnStar System. And incorporating a high level of luxury p.3 represented by the sumptuous interior appointments and the exemplary acoustic insulation provided by QuietTuning. Together, these components help define Terraza more as a Buick than as a conventional family vehicle. With this level of quality, refinement and craftsmanship, it could only be from Buick: the 2006 Terraza. Every Buick is built with exquisite care to exceptionally high standards, achieving a level of quality that ranks Buick among the elite. Every Buick is also equipped with the enhanced safety and security of OnStar, and employs QuietTuning for a supremely quiet ride. And now, for 2006, every Buick is backed by a new comprehensive four-year/80,000 km warranty** that solidifies Buick’s position as one of the world’s premium automakers.

  • Studio Still Life / Rendezvous 2004
    THE SPIRIT OF AMERICAN STYLE It is flair without flamboyance. Art without artifice. Luxury without apology. It’s the flash of sun off a curve of chrome. The shine of paint that looks a foot deep. The glow of fine leather. It is the calm of a quiet cabin. And the thrill of a finely tuned engine at full song. It’s physicality informed by philosophy. The security of careful engineering and assembly. The satisfaction of well-thought details. The idea of elegance with intelligence. The Spirit of American Style is the ethos of legendary designer Harley Earl beautifully interpreted for a new age. It is the heritage and the heart of Buick. Now come see how that spirit is offered in the 2004 Rendezvous. Studio still life /Rendezvous 2004 4 A word about this brochure: Some features shown throughout this brochure are available at extra cost. 4 AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL. American triptych Sometimes a vehicle will appear that simply defies conventional categorization. Is it a minivan? No way, too much strength in the styling. So is it an SUV? Can’t be, it rides like a luxury sedan. Well then, a luxury sedan? Out of the question. It’ll carry up to seven adults. When a vehicle crosses over those three categories, and looks great doing it, that’s more than just innovation at work. That’s American originality. That’s Rendezvous, where the styling and capabilities of an SUV, the ride and comfort of a luxury sedan and the seating capacity of a minivan are offered in one very intelligent and very versatile vehicle.
