The botton glove box on the 2013 Buick Encore has more space and is deeper, but the one above (pictured) is more accessible and convenient for storing everyday items like phones and sun glasses.Pretty convenient, eh?

Where is the airbag put then?
I will never buy this car. GM cars made in the USA are good, Canada and Mexico are also ok with me. This is being exported from South Korea. Shame on GM
Do you mean to say that all cars should be made in the U.S.?
We live in a global economy… and GM is a global company. Ultimately, the profit makes its way back to the ‘States.
I’ve wonder why they never thought of putting a fridge feature though?
You wouldn’t belive how many times I’ve wanted ice cubes for my whiskey when I’m behind the wheel during rush hour. A fridge would mean no more ambient temprature Jack.
Does the dash of the Verano strike anybody else as overly monochromatic and plain?
The Verano or the Encore?
for the $ is very impressive….like the brushed metal trim and the blue-lit gauges…wood could be a soft satin finish instead of the gloss but looks quite nice in person I thought…..loved the stiched seating and doors
Yes. That was my thought (with the Encore picture) but it had more to do with the inside of the glove box. Being one color inside and out it give the impression that the dash is one hulk of rubber/plastic that everything’s been carved out from. The inside of the glove box should be at least black, if not additionally set of by a dark gray lining.
While functional, it looks sort of cheap.
Love the double glove box, more usable space is awesome. But where does the airbag go? Is it in the lid of the upper glove box? Because then it would probably be pretty small….but a cubby is better than no cubby at all.
^ Grawdaddy is on the right track.
Alex, what I meant to say was, that all GM cars sold in the US should be made in the US, Canada, or Mexico. GM Europe and GM Asia are different, but GM should be making our cars on our continent.
I see. I guess my question to that would be “why?”. I’m not being argumentative, just want to understand the reasoning. 🙂
I agree with Kevin. Whodathunk that a Hyundai could have more American content than a Buick? If GM wants to sell cars designed and built in Korea, that’s OK. They just shouldn’t expect me to buy one. Americans need jobs, so In shopping for a new car, I consider where the engine and transmission are built and where the car is assembled.
Regarding where the profits flow, it’s a thin argument. GM, Toyota, etc. pay taxes at a local, state, and federal levels for the sales in this country. The final profits may float to the US eventually, but it’s clear GM, like many others, is using profits from the US market to invest more overseas like Opel’s subsidizes for decades of losses, new plants in China and India, engineering centers in China and South Korea, etc.
It’s getting really hard to root for the “home team” when they aren’t really much different from the other guys. Yes, GM still has a lot of factories here in the US, but as more transplants are set up here, ultimately, the only distinction is where a number of executives types and their staff sit in the headquarter office. Here or overseas.
True. As more firms globalize their operations, the “home” becomes more difficult to identify… but to an extent. For GM, the money does end up (eventually) flowing to the U.S., especially in the form of dividends and EPS results… but then it can get used to prop up operations elsewhere internationally.
I think what is compounding the feeling is that GM got a tax-payer bailout. On the margin, some of that money went directly overseas to fund foreign jobs, and in effect, lower prices for foreign buyers. That is what bothers people.
