Show Me the Car Fact #FactFridays
2004-2007 Buick Rainier (pre-2006 facelift)
Did you know: The Buick Rainier (so far) is the only RWD-based Buick SUV to ever be released under the brand.
I mean, let's think about it:
-Rendezvous: FWD or AWD-Terraza (not an SUV, but GM kinda wanted it to be): FWD or AWD-Enclave: FWD or AWD-Encore, Encore GX: FWD or AWD-Regal TourX (again, not really an SUV, but close enough): AWD only - but rides on a FWD platform-Envision: FWD or AWDIt’s also worth noting that the Rainer was the only one of all these Buick SUVs to get an air suspension and one of only 3 vehicles in Buick’s 2000s lineup you could even get with a V8 - period (Lucerne Northstar V8, LaCrosse Super and Rainier). I think the Rainier will likely remain the ONLY V8-powered SUV since everything is going electric now. Given these facts, a V8 Rainer has a good shot at becoming at least a SLIGHT collectors item because they aren’t very common and they’re actually quite unique! Have you ever seen or taken a ride in one? Its basically a fancier Chevy Trailblazer and the successor to the Oldsmobile Bravada (Bravada never got the 5.3L V8).
