Test details:

The Buick Rendezvous was introduced in the 2002 model year.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. There was far too much upward movement of the steering wheel and at the same time the driver's seat pitched forward toward the wheel. During rebound, the dummy's head did not come close to any stiff structure that could cause injury.

Injury measures — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.

the 2002-2007 Buick Rendezvous was assembled in

Ramos Arizpe, Mexico

Looks like it had a Rendezvous with a brick wall.

@ASUnicyclist No, the Aztek is by far the worst.

@quirpco Aztek comes close, but the Rendezvous takes the cake.

@sideburns2009 Agreed! I can't think of any uglier GM vehicle.

@quirpco x2, this and the Pontiac Aztek has got to be the 2 UGLIEST vehicles GM ever produced.

Another important thing we can learn from this footage is that crashing the Rendezvous into a wall actually IMPROVES the look of the front end
