CoolWheels Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 The Reatta is featured in today's Sunday New York Times in an article describing classic cars that can be bought at reasonable prices. The article covers both foreign and domestic makes attainable at prices below $15,0000. Click on www.nytimes.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadster90 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Can't understand why these so called "journalists" can never mention the Reatta without downgrading ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Ill save the rest of you the time to find these three paragraphs..... from the articleAn almost forgotten car from Buick might be worth consideration. The Reatta, sold in small numbers from 1988-91 was a sporty two seater, available as a coupe, and, in 1990-91, a convertible as well. Recent eBay offerings have included early coupes that were reported as sold for less than $2,000, while a 9,300-mile 1990 convertible went unsold with a reported high bid of $15,100 against a "buy it now" price of $19,990. Early Reattas had a touchscreen dashboard information and entertainment system; the look is as dated as a game of Pong. Buick managed to produce only about 22,000 in the Reatta’s production run, and fewer than 2,500 of those were convertibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolWheels Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 At least the Reatta was mentioned in the article. Unmentioned were cars in this price range like the Subaru SVX, the Pontiac Fiero, the Porche 944, the VW Sorocco, etc. As far as the writer's remarks about the Reatta's "entertainment" system, maybe it does not look so great nearly 20 years later, but even trying to make such an unfaircomparison says more about the writer than it does about the Reatta. Twenty years ago the most sophisticated computers could not match today's laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steveskyhawk Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Comparing the "look" to pong is supposed to imply it looks what? Dated? Old? I think the writer has been playing too many video games. Most people mistake a Reatta for a newly released model. I was disappointed that there was no picture. Two pictures of course were included of the unrmarkable Mustang.
