  1. The minimalist design is a Swedish trademark. 325 lb-ft @ 2,100 rpm has gotta give this CUV a LOT of scoot!
  2. The Olds Omega is coming back? LOL! What are you getting at? This will be the last large RWD GM is doing and as in I am Alpha and Omega the Beginning and the End? The next RWD platform from GM is called Omega to sit over top of Alpha . It will first go to Cadillac, but as a large and likely expensive platform, I would expect it to end up at Buick and Opel as well.
  3. Well that didn't take too long... Microsoft will reverse course on their DRM policies for Xbox One, dropping their 24-hour Internet check-in requirement and all restrictions on used games.
  4. I'm not that big a fan of that body style though..
  5. Happy Birthinday!
  6. They probably counted anyone who said "Hey, that's kinda cool!" as a potential sale.
  7. You're forgetting something.... and it's in the name. ;-)
  8. I've been in enough Buick product presentations to know that Buick is specifically targeting young professionals (20-somethings who got their first "real" job out of college) and working Middle-agers who are now DINKs and are looking to downsize out of the Mini-van or full-size SUV. They are not going for the 80 y/os, they are not going for teenagers, they are not angling for Camry LE "Value" buyers. They are aiming for buyers who want a "luxury-like" car without the price, something just a little more special than the Toyota or Chevy they've been driving the past 7 years.
  9. Baby boomers wouldn't be caught dead in a Buick. They head straight to the Lexus dealer once the lease on their Camry LE is up.
  10. I haven't purchased a console system since the 8-bit Nintendo..... but the PS4 may change that.
  11. yes... as I said... "not in the traditional sense". As with all things, it will have limits, but I don't think 400 hp is out of the range of such a simple setup
  12. Diesels are the way to go for SUVs especially. I'm sure LR is watching Benz pimp their G/GL350 Blutech all over the place rather closely.
  13. mmmm torque
  14. This truck will be sorely missed.
  15. The Volt doesn't really have a transmission...at least not in the traditional sense.
  16. If the oil is synthetic, no real need to change it based on such a short age.
  17. Buick is unpretentious luxury yet still a good value. That is the image they are going for.... and in a way it is a return to their image in the 1950s... cars for people who have "made it" professionally, but aren't out to show off with a Cadillac or Benz
  18. Must be a regional thing. 3 of the Buick dealers near me only have one Encore each... been shopping around
  19. Aside from the Camaro... those speculations are borne out in the sales numbers.
