Comments
Chatter is that Ferrari is considering building a high-performance luxury crossover which means a next generation high performance Grand National doesn’t need to be built using a Buick Regal as the new Grand National could be a Buick Enclave with a Cadillac LF3 making 420 hp twin-turbo 3.6L V6 or even a Buick Encore with a 310-335 hp LGX 3.6L DOHC-4v V6.
Buick has a great lineup on par with other middle luxury brands. The new Regal, TourX and Enclave nor to mention Avenir should help elevate the brand.
I’m addition, it is time for a new, Volvo-like advert campaign to better position Buick as a real luxury brand on its own terms.
Buick almost has a great lineup –the envision would have ben our choice but 3 things said no –from CHINA –still too small cargo area–Enclave too big– over priced . Buick needs to rethink on the Enspire to fit between Envision and Enclave .. Buick was born and was part of AMERICAN history , assembled by AMERICAN hands –KEEP IT THAT WAY ….
I’m guessing the reason Enclave sales are down is because people are waiting to buy the 2018 model which looks awesome.
