The headliner is covered in porcelain-colored suede to match the front upholstery, while the floor is made of custom woven leather. Both front and middle rows of captain's chairs are 6-way power adjustable, plus the latter slide forward joining the power rear folding seats to form a generous cargo area. A center console isn't unusual for front seats but the Centieme coddles middle passenger with a console too, and it slides forward and aft via tracks embedded into the floor. Of course a DVD entertainment system is part of the package, but Buick puts the monitors in back of the seats, a popular feature among concept cars this year.
"Centieme is a vehicle that allows you to immerse yourself in its bold, luxurious car-like qualities", said Mack.
It is bold and definitely luxurious and absolutely should be built as the next Rendezvous. But not to just to disagree with myself GM should keep the Centieme name that marks its centennial year, a milestone few car companies can boast.
