i found it too in my local newspaper this morning, Buick are even with Lexus, who said american cars are crap

 

Good for Buick. There for awhile it looked like it may have gone the way of Oldsmobile but it seems GM may finally be back on track with some of its newer models

 

Buick has always made awesome cars. My parents always bought Buick and so did my aunt. I have many friends who drive mid-90's LeSabre's and such and they run strong for a good long time. Buick is finally getting some good recognition now they just need to figure out how to sell these cars.

The new Buick Enclave is a wonderful beast and I'm considering pick one up in the new year.

 

It looks good but I actually prefer the look of its sister car the GMC Acadia. The Enclave is way better looking than the Ranier or Rendevous though!!!

 

We just sold our Rainier and miss it a lot! But the Minivan we picked up in its place is much more what we needed. We even looked into the Buick minivan, but it was so last century with its "features" like NO floor/stowseats, you had to remove each one, none stowed in the floor
Anyway, Our Rainier had the distinction last year of being one of the most depreciating cars in the world according to another popular survey

Let's put it this way. Ours was a wunderkind, a beat of opulence and plenty. I mean it had auto leveling airbags fer gosh sakes. It was as quiet as a Lexus, so the reports went. It was great,.except...it's price was $45K when new ( I'm so glad we paid 30K, for one3 with 5k on it ) but still and even worse, it's trade in value THREE YEARS LATER was about 12K
I had to work at getting $13,700.00 for our trade in with only 37K miles on it.

So dependable, but worthless since folks seem to really worship Hondas and Toyotas while we all seem to take part in some tribal hatred of the domestics. So the domestics take a nosedive in resale while the other two don't even though they too have recalls and problems. I dunno what gives there......


Anyway, I love Buick and find Chevy OK too. Never cared for Pontiac and loved Oldsmobile. GMC is cool too. Man, I want an Arcadia, but at $45K I can, hey wait, if I just wait three years an '07 will be $15K. Might as well take part in the depreciation game and be a winner for a change
