Guest my3buicks Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Exactly what Buick needs as a Halo car and to round out a great stable. There is not a car in the entire Buick fleet right now that has missed it's mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centurion Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks, Dave. I would have deleted this topic when I saw the other one appear, but there were already comments posted here. Yes, the comments on the other topic should certainly be read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackofalltrades70 Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 It's a really nice looking vehicle, but they stated that it would probably never make it to production status. I would buy one, hybrid or not. But it sure would be nice with 455 cubic inches of Buick under the hood. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buicknutty Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Very cool looking car! Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BJM Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 I'm not a fan of the rear end concave look but I understand it's a styling mule not anywhere close to production. I like the fastback, front end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thriller Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Back end reminds me of a Volvo...not saying good or bad, but that's what it reminds me of.Suzanne has occasionally thought about another new Buick, but has felt that the lack of hybrid or "green" technology has been limiting. So, a mid-40s professional woman with significant income wants a fuel-efficient Buick...they have been loathe to produce it. I still like the Regal. A friend recently bought a new 2012 Verano and loves it. Buick buyers are not all "old fuddy duddies"...no offense to anyone who identifies with that comment. The fact remains that there is a market for nice, upscale automobiles that don't have the price point of the "luxury" brands. Not everyone is about brand names, so wouldn't be upset about being seen in a new Buick so long as it is a nice vehicle that fits their needs and some of their wants. The question becomes how to get them into the showroom (virtual or physical) and not just those of some of the other brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhclark Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 My first thought when I saw this car was simply, "Awesome"!We have our monthly chapter meetings at a rotation of 2 local Buick dealers and I drool over the new ones every month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
