Buick picks style over space

The interior of the 2008 Buick Enclave crossover was designed with less interior space than typical SUVs with three rows of seats in order to create the desired exterior appearance, reports AutoWeek. Many SUV owners are tired of boxy-looking exteriors, said Anna Kretz, vehicle line executive for GM’s upcoming mid-sized Lambda vehicle architecture. “It takes the functionality from the interior, but it gives you an exterior that is a little bit unexpected,” she said.

Well I see where the Buick Enclave is being sacraficed for design over space. The entire American auto makers don’t get it. The new Pontiac is not selling and they wonder, why? There isn’t any room in the rear for 4 passengers, unless the only buyers are newly weds without children, in laws, or full sized friends. If you have any of these friends you must take a car large enough for 4. The Chevy Tahoe and the like models should have the third seat removed and the second seat moved rearward so a 6 foot person can ride behind anyone. Went and looked at Cadillacs, because I would like to buy American, made the same statement to the salesperson and he said ” you should be interested in our Deville”. God I did not like the old stogy DeVille and wanted a car thet was sporting which had room, sorry GM doesn’t have it. Lexus and Infiniti are going toward that trend and will leave GM in the dust. Forget about resale value.
