That Buick need to be a sloth, that Buick buyers only want to roll down the highway at 42mph hour looking for a Libby’s.

I never said once that BUICK should be the performance division, I did say Buicks needed more hp then thay have right now.

So I guess you guys are saying options are bad, and a Saturn ION sedan with a 2.4L is a “high performance” racing machine because the ION has a hp to weight of 1hp per 16.4 lbs and I’m asking that if I were to buy a Buick it to have min of 1hp per 16.5 lbs…. Keep that number in mind, I’ve said it over and over as to what I’d want in any size, brand, style daily driver I’d buy. 1hp per every 16.5lbs nothing less. That means a 200hp Verano. Believe what, what believe what. The average age of a Buick driver is what, down from the average age one year ago, and GM wants it to drop yet more. So I guess the way to get 45-50 year olds to buy a Buick is to make ir slower then it is now.

Seems the users of this site just like slow cars, hey your ready to defend every slug (as in slow) GM puts on the market, all in all.

When Chevy comes out with the “RS” CRUZE it should get a new horn thats fitting …… makes the sound ….. bling bling, bling bling.
