Here's a couple pictures of Buick Envisions I took while out at some lots today. Through the window glass, the interior looks to be as nice as it seems in pictures, but perhaps less spacious feeling than the outgoing Envision...perhaps mainly due to a less tall cabin.

Some asymmetry is ok but yes it’s ‘quite’ driver oriented in this. Better than the big vertical iPad tacked onto the dash like Ford is doing though, I figure. The interior quality is pretty nice I think for where it sits in the market. I like the interiors of both the new Envision and Encore GX.....I wish the Enclave would update the interior a bit. These new Buick interiors are still pretty consistent in design with my TourX.

My dealer has a darker red/black ST on the floor- exterior looks pretty good. I don't care for all the asymmetry on the dash tho.

Neat dash..I like how the screen is integrated and not standing up like a glued-on tablet in many vehicles. The asymmetry is a nice, distinct touch, instead of the usual generic center stack. Squint and you can see a slight resemblance to a similar driver-centric dash from Buicks 50 years ago....

Getting my TourX oil changed. Here are some photos of a 2021 Envision ST on the show floor.

Wife used to work for them many years ago...food was great back then. Just had some Buca over the holidays....just not as good anymore.....

There is one GTO though, that Id want over a 442. A 1967 GTO over a 1966 442 (barely)

Restaurant chains...just suck no matter how you slice your thought process. ESPECIALLY the ones that "specialize" in "fine" dining or "authentic" ethnic food. No need to dine in 5 star, Cordon Bleu level chef restaurants. The 'good 'ole mom and pop restaurant will do. I know, I know....those dont exist anymore. *SIGH* Montreal had a ton of those. Italian and Greek owned mom and pop restaurants from the '50s all the way to the '80s was a REAL treat. REAL Authentic Greek or Italian dishes made LITERALLY like "momma used to make". Diners, fast food joints, quick eateries, a step or two below fine dining restaurants...Montreal had those literally at every major street corner. I miss those days.

Ill give a long...long...very long answer. GM's A Body muscle car is just sublime fir me. So...GTO for me. But... (I did say Id give a loooong answer) I do prefer the '70 version. I LOVE this version. My dad had one. But his was not "The Judge" trim. Kinda like this one. An even BIGGER but though... since we I are am talking about GM A bodies...then there is the ONE GM A Body that I totally want over the others...and THAT would be a 1970...OLDS 442 W30

Hertz paid their CEO $8 million in 2018, $9.1 million and 2019 and then she resigned in 2020 when they filed bankruptcy. They paid their CFO $3.9 million on 2019. These people obviously were not worth what they paid them, other wise the company wouldn't be bankrupt. Sure the pandemic hurt, but not everyone went bankrupt, they filed bankruptcy like 1 month in, so they were headed there anyway. And Wall Street Journal reported last May that Herz paid out $16 million in bonuses to 340 executives as they laid off 10,000 people and sold all these cars off. So $13 million wasted on the 2 people that led them into trouble, and then $16 million on undeserved bonuses, because no executive at a company filing bankruptcy deserves a bonus. So there is $39 million wasted right there, they could have kept 1,500 cars with that money rather than sell them, and that is 1,500 they wouldn't have sold at a loss and now had to overpay to get back now. Also why didn't they have a cash reserve to survive a few bad months?

Homes are sparse now, too. It's ridiculous. Things were sort of "normal" around 2017. Now, and even with a (recent) pandemic, certain strata of homes at certain prices are flying off the market.

Dealer i bought my TourX from has a new Corvette listed! Cars are sparse right now, so i get the 'market' adjustment. But when it says discount, shouldn't it actually be a discount and instead not be a 35,000 dollar markup?

Rental car companies, like airlines and hotels, were uniquely hit by last year's events, with the sharp curtailment in business and personal travel.

This pic for the win, absolutely.

How about a "Free Spirit" edition? Or does 'free spirit' not jive with 'Made in China'. "Buick Roadmaster Free Spirit Tour X" Makes me wonder, in Canada, would a Buick Lacrosse 'fappening edition' been a big seller? WUT? Buick SKYHAWK ROADHAWK Double hawk!

There is only one Grand National that matters and it sure as hell isn’t a CUV.
