Buick Introduces All-New Envista Compact SUV in China :Discussion

Nothing more American than shopping for a Chinese built American branded automobile! ? -
Buick Introduces All-New Envista Compact SUV in China :Discussion
ccap41 replied to G. David Felt's topic in Buick
In the last 20 years, has anybody ever gone to a Chevy/Buick/GMC dealership and were looking for a Buick prior to getting there? I feel like people buy Buicks because they kind of "fell into them". They certainly liked the product but I don't know anybody who started car shopping FOR a Buick. I definitely know people who have bought Buicks but I'm almost positive none of them went to the dealership actively looking for a Buick. They went looking at the Chevy or GMC and liked the Buick more or it was priced/packaged how they wanted. -

I, too, hate the crossover coupe bullsheet. -
That was exactly the first thing I thought of, as well. Recalls absolutely do not equate reliability or unreliability.
-
Yeah, I'm not really understanding how they can be just as "shytty as the next OEM" either. A couple big recalls and they're on par with "everybody else"..?
-
That's a pretty bold statement about a company who is leading the US in total sales.

Dodge News: The 2023 Dodge Hornet Packs 285 HP and a PowerShot Boost
ccap41 replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in Dodge
I know I don't have some proof to back this up, but it just feels like you're using your anecdotal evidence to say that. While I don't think Toyotas are some magical world marvel that every one will last a million miles with minimal maintenance, I still find it hard to believe that they aren't in the top tier. They sell millions of vehicles every year solely based on reliability and I can't imagine they're all just getting burned on this by being completely average.- 101 replies

I'd agree, the whole exterior package is pretty awesome. It looks phenomenal in that profile picture.

I have no doubts that this will continue to be an Italian unreliable POS though.. But it seems like a compelling product.- 101 replies

Also, that transmission that needed replacing in 2010 isn't a Corvette Transmission either. The Vette has a transaxle in the rear and your TBSS does not.- 101 replies

That is suuuuch a longshot to try and say it is a Corvette with an SUV body. That would imply that the frame and chassis are also Corvette, which they are not.- 101 replies

...a Trailblazer SS is not a Corvette with an SUV body... It's a BOF SUV with a Corvette engine.- 101 replies

https://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Toyota_model-Land+Cruiser.html There are 145 pages at 30 results per page, 4350 movies/shows with Land Cruisers in them. Why does the origin of the vehicle matter? They're built and advertised as luxury vehicles 100% of the time since being on sale in the US. Do you have proof of the articulation of the modern coil over system? That is really the only advantage of a solid axel over independent suspension, from my knowledge. The Bronco comes REALLY close to matching a Wrangler in articulation but it still isn't the same as solid axels, strictly when you're talking about tackling off-road obstacles.- 101 replies

Do you frequent off road trails? You're lying to everybody here or you don't watch many/any movies. That's no different than Range Rovers, Wranglers, G Wagens, Raptors, etc. They're all used on pavement 99.9% of the time but that has no bearing on how capable they are off-road. I've never seen with my eyes somebody off-roading a G Wagen, but that doesn't mean the three lockers and solid axels don't work. And the Escalade is different from this description, how? Literally every BOF SUV fits this description.- 101 replies

And the general public seems to care less about that. I feel like anytime I'm around people or hear people talking about new vehicles the old phrase of "just get a Toyota XXX, it'll last forever" comes up. They definitely still seem to have that reputation.- 101 replies

It sucks how late they are to the party but, this seems like a pretty awesome package. It's probably too small for me to ever consider going forward but I still like it.- 101 replies

Then it'll be nothing special.. They may not mention benchmarking those cars but they probably should do that as both of those SMOKE a Hellcat. So this seems like an awesome vehicle but without knowing some of the details, all I'm getting is a complete gimmick car. I know more details will follow but it would have been nice to know some performance targets, range, charging speed, hp/tq.

Nope, and this is a recent thing. It used to always be right about the rest of the area we live in, give or take $0.05-0.10. Since gas prices have been dropping, for the last month, they have just barely moved in town while all of the surrounding towns/cities have dropped significantly.
