Default Buick Enclave coming in 2007

Should be nice enough for everyone to be able to forget the Rendezvous.

I still say the Rendezvous is uglier than the Aztek...at least the Aztek tries to appeal to something. The Rendezvous is just big, ugly and horrible bland.

I'd like to get rid of both, but the Rondy lives on for another year or two.

Always the proper question when discussing General Motors.

I don't know yet. They will obviously be building other crossover-wagons to go with this. It's FWD, right? So it won't be shared with Cadillac ... at least I wouldn't expect it.

Nothing, actually. Lambda is the new architecture for all GM mid size vans, light SUVs and crossovers.

Don't worry, they're on the way. At least 14 crossovers are planned that will likely share the platform:

Oh and I thought Lucerne was bad, but Enclave? Worst. Name. Ever.

Jeeze, GM..... didn't you learn your lesson on badge engineering already?

All they need is one.... ONE! Make one, offer two engines and a few trim levels, and THAT'S IT!
