    1. That’s why I’m thinking is that possible?

      1. Yes it’s a year over year change percentage. It’s what happens when you have a small figure being calculated against a large one.

  3. Cascada sales would increase with a push button start and a more prominent grille design..also updated technology

  4. Also think how the Encore would sell if GM got serious about the powertrains and interior with a proper center console and making the newer more efficient 1.4T std and offering a 1.5T on Sport versions.

  5. The new Enclave plus the coming Envision refresh with likely Avenir varient signal a reasl turning point for Buick as plush Lexus/21 Century doctor’s car.
    An Avenir Regal would be great, too, but no such offering will come from PSA Russelheim.
