2006 RENDEZVOUS defined by its qualities, not by categories.

Work. Play. Formal. Casual. Emotional. Rational. Social. Solitary. In your world, there is more than enough room for all the different facets of your life and your personality. And there is a vehicle that is equipped to make it all come together – Rendezvous. Literally defined, it means a meeting place. Which is an apt description of a vehicle that combines the finest attributes of an SUV, a , a premium sedan – and a Buick. Which means Rendezvous takes all the

attributes of a supremely practical vehicle and adds the characteristics that distinguish every p.3 Buick – namely an unwavering dedication to quality manufacturing, craftsmanship, graceful design, dependability, and the Buick-pioneered QuietTuning process. A vehicle that defies categorization. A vehicle with qualities all its own. The 2006 Rendezvous.

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.

*Whichever comes first.

CX, CX PLUS, CXL, CXL PLUS RENDEZVOUS in four dimensions.–

Rendezvous effortlessly encompasses dimensions of an SUV, minivan and sedan. But that is only the starting point. Adding further dimensions to the Rendezvous lineup are the four different models. Each provides its own take on the Rendezvous character.

If you revel in an added dimension of sportiness, there's the CXL Plus. For heightened performance, CXL Plus features the 242 horsepower 3.6L V6 with variable valve p.7 timing (VVT). For enhanced versatility, the seven- passenger seating plan includes flip-and-fold second- row seating and a stowable third-row bench.

All other Rendezvous models feature the dependable 3.5L 3500 V6 engine. The CXL provides added comfort, with heated front bucket seats and leather seating surfaces, as well as automatic dual-zone climate controls. The CX and CX Plus include a full complement of power amenities, such as mirrors and windows, in addition to a leather-wrapped steering wheel with integrated sound system controls.

For added all-season traction, the on-demand Versatrak all-wheel-drive system is available on all models.

No matter which Rendezvous model you choose, it will incorporate the many dimensions of quality that define every Buick. 61605_8e9_2.qxd 6/28/05 1:04 AM Page 1

SAFETY & SECURITY THE APPROACH HERE IS NOTHING SHORT OF EXHAUSTIVE.

The comprehensive safety and security package inside every Rendezvous refers not only to features such as dual-stage frontal air bags,* or a solid steel safety cage that surrounds the passenger compartment. It also refers to the way Rendezvous is engineered, from the selection of tires to the safety of the windshield glass. The approach to security is equally rigorous, with the advanced OnStar System standard on CXL and CXL Plus. All models also feature a remote keyless entry system with a Panic button. Your safety and security – it’s fundamental to Rendezvous.

* A NOTE ON CHILD SAFETY: Always use safety belts and proper child restraints, even in vehicles equipped with air bags. Children are safer when properly secured in a rear seat. Never place a rear- facing infant restraint in the front seat of any vehicle equipped with an active air bag. Refer to the vehicle Owner’s Manual and child safety seat instructions for more information. p.15
