The job of Buick’s flagship sedan is difficult—to keep current customers happy and also entice new buyers to the brand—but the svelte LaCrosse is ready for the task. Depending on its equipment, the LaCrosse can either be a plush-riding land yacht or, thanks to an optional adaptive suspension, 20-inch wheels, and available all-wheel drive, a […]
The new 2018 Buick Regal lineup throws the conventional sedan body style out the window in favor of a trio of more compelling options: the Regal Sportback and the Regal GS, both hatchbacks, and the Regal TourX wagon. Even though these Regals continue to share much with the Europe-market Opel Insignia, these redesigned versions aim for […]
The previous Buick Regal was something of a poor man’s Audi A4, but the new-for-2018 Regal Sportback, with its hatchback body style, aims a bit higher—at the stylish and practical Audi A5 Sportback, perhaps? That makes this more performance-oriented Regal GS, then, Buick’s S5 equivalent, bringing more power, a sharper chassis, and enhanced looks to […]
Divorce often is a messy business, with myriad difficult decisions to be made or fought over. Where will the kids live? Who gets the dog? Or the wedding china? And what about that mid-size hatchback you’ve just spent several hundred million dollars developing? READ MORE ››
The station wagon has long faced extinction, but a counterpoint to the rise of the crossover and the decline of the sedan can be found in the current wobbly resuscitation of the wagon. Subaru has done its part to preserve an otherwise unfashionable style, recasting the wagon as an outdoorsy hiking shoe that isn’t […]
Buick has enticed us with its new-for-2018 Regal lineup, which includes stylish hatchback and wagon body styles to replace the old Regal sedan. Now we have pricing for the Regal Sportback hatch and the Regal TourX station wagon, both of which will start under $30,000 when they go on sale later this year. The base-model […]
Buick is bringing a mild hybrid back to the LaCrosse lineup for 2018. As in the previous-generation LaCrosse, the system is called eAssist and will be the base powertrain for the big Buick sedan. As such, the 2018 LaCrosse’s base price drops by $2500 and its EPA fuel economy rises by around 4 mpg compared to the current V-6 […]
When it debuted as a 2008 model, the Buick Enclave was lauded for its breakthrough design, quiet cabin, and revitalizing effect on the Buick brand. Now in its ninth model year without a major update, its dated interior, archaic infotainment system, and languid performance all shine a harsh light on the Enclave’s age. Fortunately, 2017 […]
The Enclave has been a big deal for Buick. First introduced way back in the pre-GM-bankruptcy days of 2007, it initially had GMC and Saturn siblings (the Acadia and the Outlook); the Saturn fell away and the Chevrolet Traverse now completes the trio. The Enclave was a hit right off the bat, and its sales […]
