Just came across this: Terazza Check out the features: - chrome wheels - "aggressive grille" - rear cargo management - steering wheel with buttons Wow! They must think consumers are idiots. Why is it that most North American cars have the cheesiest advertising?? And what is a CROSS-OVER SPORT VAN anyways?? I mean, the Ford Contour brochure I have is equally pathetic. Kerry

GM didn't make up that term.
That's the new industry term for the Mini-Van. Sport Cross-Over Vehicle.

Er...yeah. And it's a Buick, which just adds to the WTF factor. I was thinking this would be something like what the Japanese kids are turning Chevy Astros into.

That thing is terrible looking!! Far worse than any minivan on the market now. I hope they're a huge sales flop for GM.

Someone please knock on my grave when Buick decides to design a car that looks half-way decent.

Based on what I'm looking at, its a Sport-ute with big gaping sliding doors for structural weakening. Insures vehicle replacement withing 7 years reguardless of build quality.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

At least it seems they've made an effort to fix the death trap minivans they've been selling the past several years. Supposedly the longer, reinforced front end may finally allow an occupant survival space larger than, say, an armadillo.
Congratulations, General. You've caught up to where everyone else was in the late 90's. You deserve a cookie.

Indeed. The new Saturn Relay is basically the same thing. Square off the edges of the rounded grille and there ya go: Instant failure x2.  I'll admit that at the time, the 2003 Sedona I pilot back and forth wasn't the GREATEST choice in the minivan market that mum could've made (I would much rather have gone for a Quest 3.5 or a Sienna), but the more I drive it, the more I like it. It's not all that bad looking either.
