2006 Buick “Cross Over” Terraza
November 15th, 2006
General Motors is trying its best to hide the fact that the new Buick Terraza and Saturn Relay are minivans. In a press release in 2006 about the vehicles, General Motors calls the Terraza a “crossover sport van,” and follows with the abbreviation “CSV” in parentheses, as if this were a recognized expression.
The company repeatedly describes the Terraza as a “truck,” and replaces the apparently gauche “minivan” label for both Terraza and Relay with the curious, less-known moniker of “mid-van.”
