“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.”

No, Buick does not need more power in any of its vehicles. To address your personal wishes (and mine too, actually), all that’s needed are several engines in the Cruze line that are more powerful than the current 1.8 or 1.4T.

Lexus became the most popular AND profitable luxury brand in America by what you describe as “sloths”. There is a huge market for those kinds of luxury vehicles — much bigger than there are of folks like you and me who actually care about power/specs/numbers.

Ultimately, no Buick should be priced under $30,000 and have the equipment to reflect its base price. And all we need is a high-performance/higher-performance Cruze.
