Would make a fine Buick, based on GM's current definition of the brand. It is a pretty car, and the taillights on it look at least mildly annoyed, if not outright angry like on the Verano. I like those angry taillights because they're unique, and call back the front of the '59 and the rear of the '59 and '60 Buicks.

I like the taillight 'brows'...not the usual predictable compact car stuff...hopefully, the Verano will get a version of the new Astra Cascadia convertible.

I'm happy to see them offer it, and overall I really like it. However, personally I don't think I could get over the wierd rear chrome strips and tiny taillights. To me, it just reminds me of the face of a Neanderthal - small, sunken eyes and a pronounced, angry looking brow line.

But, But, But that seems to be the trend, all Auto's for the most part seem to have a face on their butt now. Not sure why we seem to feel the need to have an auto look at you and either smile or frown. I see this as an area that someone can make a real difference in with superior styling.

It's a very impressive car, and Gm definitely got this one right.

Go, GM go...sell this damned thing!

Found an open Verano today on a Buick lot. Again, blown away at how nice it is inside.

Really still love the Regal more, but the Verano is 92% the size and such, just a little more different and tidy...... not as pricey.....

I wonder how much the Verano launch is eating up Regals. I know Buick is trying to move Regal up the ladder with more kit and better powertrains, but the cars side by side are damn near the same size, and the Regal is not too much bigger inside either.

I know the old size is everything adage is dying in this market some, but at under 25g, a base Verano is damn nice, why spend 30 on a Regal?


Here are the sales numbers so far this year. Verano is on a roll. I threw in the TSX too for comparison:

JAN 2012
TSX - 2266
Regal - 1855
Verano - 795

FEB 2012
TSX - 3373
Regal - 2636
Verano - 1688

MAR
TSX - 3355
Regal - 2609
Verano - 2497

APR
TSX - 3138
Verano - 2989
Regal - 2852

MAY
Verano - 3609
TSX - 2880
Regal - 2550


Another excellent month for Verano in June. It not only outsold Regal, but also TSX/ILX combined.

Verano 4091
TSX 2602
Regal 2326
ILX 1081


Verano does it again in July!

Verano 4235
TSX 1980
Regal 1784
ILX 1410
