For example, the wheel design is consistent with Buick's eight-spoke tradition but there's a more aggressive treatment to emphasize function and capability. Finally, a full-width taillamp is one more key visual cue consistent with all Buicks. Inside, Rendezvous captures a feeling of sophisticated craftsmanship that creates an overall ambiance that feels premium, comfortable, safe and secure. We chose upscale materials with low gloss levels and a finish that speaks of the quality engineered throughout Rendezvous. Security, comfort and prestige were high priorities throughout the design of the Rendezvous.
Colors are warm and receptive to yield a friendly, secure feeling to the interior.
A three-tone interior design echoes the refined, rugged, functional beauty of the exterior, said Wetzel. The interior upper is a dark color, which also runs down the center console. The dark trim is accented by a lighter color that visually opens up the interior. A third, medium tone, is placed in areas like the armrests of the door and console and is used at the bottom of the doors where soiling is a possibility. Seats carry a two-tone theme, with dark bolsters and lighter center inserts, which help lighten the seats' overall appearance.
