Haha, I need to get a life? Look at your little response, looks like I got under your skin doesn’t it, keep it up man, GM needs as many propaganda bullshitters as they can get

I work at GM, my name is Mr. Lutz.

Gas prices are high, and seem to be going up even higher.

Sales are down.

Lets make another SUV !!!!!!!

WHEEE !!!!!!!!!!!

Pay me a million dollars more. I am so smart.

But that was long ago in a universe far far away! Remember that the Oldsmobile Cutlass was the largest selling car in the world in the mid 80′s and 20 years later Oldsmobile was OUT OF BUSINESS! Buick has lost its relevance in todays market. The last fun car they built WAS the Grand National! After that it was FWD and rebadged junk! Just like GMC trucks, they are the question that nobody asked and the answer that nobody gave. Why does GM continue to spend billions of dollars to divide their dwindling market share into tiny little pieces?

As in NASCAR when Pontiac and Chevy were both involved in the sport. Now that Chevy is the GM spearhead in NASCAR, they are dominating like never before.

Take GMC and Chevrolet trucks and sell them under one badge, all SUVs are built by one division. All performance cars by one division. All luxury cars by one division. All engines under one roof. GM is holding on, tooth and nail to the good old days; when they held 50% of the market. It does not make sense to do business like GM does it! When you are facing a juggernaut like Toyota it is not time to divide your forces. But that is typical of GM. This is exactly why TOYOTA will run them over on their way to number one. The right products at the right time and at an atractive price.

The list of flops by GM is HUGE and the one by Toyota is SMALL. How many “5.7 Diesels” did Toyota Build? How many “Cadillac Cimmarons”? How many “Vegas”? How many “BUTT UGLY Cadillac Sevilles”? The list goes on forever!

I bleed GM blue bowties and it makes me sick to see the depths to which GM has fallen! Like it or not, GM MUST find a new way to do business or they are doomed to continue to loose customers to Toyota, Honda, Nissan and others!

I am only a spring chicken (23yo) so maybe when I’m like 90. I’ll like Buicks too. This one looks big and fat.

People have to spend their hard earned money on a car to last 5-7 years and not break their budget keeping it running. GM and Ford have yet to produce this type of car, Chrysler, Chrysler…..well….the 300 looks nice.

Patckc88- what in the world makes you think Buick will last more than 2 decades. It won’t. It’s a fact. GM has too many brands. Buick belongs in China. Not here anymore. GM should focus on Chevy(Mainstream cars/SUVs/Trucks), Pontiac(Sporty Cars), Saturn(Youth Brand aka Scion fighter), GMC(Premium SUVs/Trucks), Saab(They have enough faithfuls where doing them right would be great for them), Cadillac(Should fill the loss of Buick. Keep the DTS and STS Make the STS Sporty and theDTS Buick like), and Hummer(Jeep fighter).

Buick has lost its spot. It deserved to.

Can Opel survive vs. Toyota or Honda ?

Saturn will die……wait for it.

Anyway – Buick will make its comeback, just like Saturn did. 2 years ago everyone said Saturn was shit and now look.

Ask anyone in Gen Y, it will die.

Nobody wants them from that group. It’s a grandparents car, plain and simple.

1487, argue it all you want. I’ve read the things you said before, and every time me and my buddies (16-25) get a good laugh. We drive cars, good cars, Sti’s, Evo’s, Stangs, GTI’s, Jetta’s, BMW’s. Excellent cars. Not crossovers, and especially not Buicks. Go to a school parking lot. The only Buick’s you’d find are owned by {old} teachers. It’s embarrassing to own one. SEriously argue it, please do. You really don’t know what goes on with the way we think. Buicks are soft, cushiony, boring. And as far as we can see that wont change. The Enclave looks decent. I’d prefer the Acadia by far. But over both I’d prefer a Lexus or something along those lines. Even a CX-7 would look great. I’m not biased, at all. I like GM’s progress i really do. I love the G8, the Sky not so much the solstice cus of that fugly front end, But i appreciate other cars as well. VW’s, Mitsu’s, BMW’s, Honda’s, Toyota’s, etc. etc. They all have ups and downs. Buick is GM’s down. A lone crossover will not save it from extinction. And i can honestly say this, I will never ever own a Buick, it seems all my crazy old neighbors love them. But what can I expect. They’re all in their 80′s/90′s. Damn suburbs.

I’d love to get in this car and experience this interior. it seems pretty amazing. But really either the exterior doesn’t photograph well or i just don’t like the way it looks…looks fat in the back.

This Buick is an improvement in the exterior looks department, but then again anything would look like an improvement after the Rendezvous. The interior is an improvement, but is not even close to touching Lexus RX350 standards, not even close. The thing is huge, handles clumsily, is slow, and gets awful mileage. Sure it’s better than what it replaces, but it’s not the top of the class, there are far better choices out there.

They need a breakout car, not a clone and not a truck.

If anything the MB, VW Toureg, Audi and Acura full size utes are what the Enclave is after and all of those are in serious trouble once these arrive on dealer lots.

I like the Acadia, if i had a family i would get it, but buick has a horrible brand reputation so even if this was the nicest SUV i wouldnt get it.
