i dont know, but my buddy is looking for a new car and since he knows nothing about cars he took me along, he has been looking at the chevy traverse. Needless to say hanging around GM showrooms ive been looking at the cars and just comparing. seeing the triplets side by side the acadia/enclave/traverse i have to say the chevy is pretty homely. But my big quandry, is it just me or is buick going after a younger demographic or am i becomming an old man. That enclave is looking good, in general buicks styling of late, the bold tri-shield grill and everything is really getting to me. Im wondering if it has to do with the death of pontiac but really buicks design department seems to be getting away from the old man look. Id like to see a grand national or gran sport come back

You're right, they are going after a younger crowd.

I'll have to admit, the new Buicks caught my attention.

My favorite of the 3 is the Acadia. Buick looks snooty and awkward. Those vehicles are going to be a nightmare when they get to be a few years old, higher mileage ones already have some expensive issues. The new Regals are nice, I've PDI'd two of them now, they drive like a german car, but they are an Opel. The Ecotec is downright anemic in such a heavy car though. Haven't tried the turbo version yet.

That'd be cool. Actually saw one in town the other night with manufacturer plates... looked pretty slick.

One of the locals here is a big wig at GM Oshawa, he was ripping around in a new Camaro convertible w/manufacturer plates last week.

If they did, it would probably be a rebadged and coupe-itized CTS-V, which is not a bad thing

crikey, my friend took delivery of his traverse tonight, i popped the hood hoping to find an engine, what i found was a lot more plastic than a lego store and whats up with the battery under the seat!

Whoever the cunt was who decided the oil filter placement on those things needs a kick in the fucking bag... it might as well be attached to the fucking cat.
