GM Accessories Make A Good Thing Even Better

Grand Blanc, Mich. -Golf just got a little easier -- at least when it comes to caddying that coveted bag of sticks and following that elusive little white ball. Buick Rendezvous and GM Accessories offer three exciting accessories tailored to suit every golfer's needs. The accessories assortment is designed specifically for the Rendezvous and stocks a variety of benefits. GM Accessories sport high quality, convenience and affordability, all while providing its owners exceptional peace of mind.

"GM Accessories, like golf clubs, come in a variety of shapes, sizes and with many uses," explains Jim Kornas, director of sales and marketing for GM Accessories, General Motors Service Parts Operations. "No matter what the accessory's purpose, payment can be folded into the vehicle contract and all GM Accessories are fully backed an exclusive General Motors warranty."

The accessories threesome is available in an Adventure Package, which boasts a hard-shell cargo carrier on roof-mounted utility cross bars. The utility bars attach to factory side rails and are the base mount for all GM Accessories roof top carriers. The durable cargo carrier is available in charcoal or can be painted to match the exterior vehicle color and can carry a maximum of four non-staff golf bags.

Inside the vehicle lies custom vinyl floor mats -- designed with an interlocking grid pattern that traps mud, dirt and sand from golf shoes. The front mats are marked with the Rendezvous logo. The food and beverage warmer/cooler provides quick access to a refreshing beverage before or after a golf outing. The cargo liner/security shade is designed specifically to fit the contours of the cargo area. Protection is provided from the floor of the second row seats up to the rear of the front seats. When not in use, this dual accessory package transforms into a security shade with Velcro tie-downs that secure to the interior sides of the vehicle. For the active golfer, the cargo liner protects the cargo area carpet from dirty golf bags while the security shade helps keep valuable cargo - like golf clubs - from being visible.

Accessories for the Buick Rendezvous are available now for purchase through Buick dealers and will be displayed during the Buick Open Golf Tournament taking place at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club, Aug. 11-15.
