Warning, very long rant 
Not a lot, other than the grille badge and maybe the steering wheel, about the Rendezvous that immediately brings "Buick" to mind. That's what's happening as global production leaves less room for individuality, in order to effect shrinking profit margins. There comes a point where many GM mid-size and full-size sedans look the same from 100ft, and so on. Now I've noticed that every single middle-priced luxury car (except the C-Klasse) looks like the early 2000s BMWs with the slanted notch in the bottom of the C-pillar. Even the Lucerne by Buick has this styling element. Portholes are very good, and it's even better now that the portholes are indicative of the engine which they are venting. I would be curious to see a modernized version of the 42-48 Buick grille flowing beneath the headlamps on both sides. Will be fun to see what car will become the style leader of the 2010s.
