For the first time in my life I would consider buying a Buick.







Just realized this today.

 

then youve obviously never heard of the grand national

 

I'm talking brand new. I was probably 5 when GN's were new.

 

Thats a very nice truck. My parents next door neighbor was very involved in the development of that vehicle. I sat in one he had from GM and it was very much like that. Along with the Saturn and GMC versions GM hopes to pick some crossover sales.

The Enclave is the nicest of the 3 and GM wants to fight Lexus with it. We'll see.

 

Is there some non-CG pics of this thing yet?

 

Those aren't CG pics, but they aren't pics of the production model. Buick.com has pics of the production version.

 

Not my cup of tea...

 

When it comes time to replace my wife's 4runner it very may well be between that, the next-gen Lexus RX, and the Acura MDX.

 

You like the MDX? Just curious. I liked the older ones but those new ones just sort of hit you square in the face when you see them on the road.

 

Nice, but too bad it's not a "true" station wagon instead of trying to be anything but a wagon, van, or SUV.

 

We have three Buicks:

This is my winter beater, worth every penny of the $950 I paid for it.


And these are the fun Buicks:



But yeah, the Enclave is nice too. I also think the Lucerne is a huge improvement over the large Buick sedans it replaced.

 

I guess I have to disagree -- these pics are either CG or very heavily photoshopped.

edit: I mean the interior pics.

 

i've always been a buick fan myself.. i've owned 2 of them, an 86 electra and a 91 century, and i miss those cars, especially the electra

the new lucerne looks like a damn nice car.. and of course this Enclave...

i'd sport a buick as a daily driver if i had the cash...

 

Actually the photos in the original post are of the concept that debuted at NAIAS 2006. The production model, which debuted at the 2006 LA Auto show, is a little different. Mostly on the interior.

There are a slew of production model pics here:

I'd really like to see a comparison of it to the lexus and acura considering the extras they added to the buick to reduce noise and vibration levels compared to the other lambda's.

What really suprised me, however, is that this might actually attract buyers who aren't collecting they're pension yet. I mean, I'm 24 and I'm digging it.
