Is Buick Coming Back?

Sully — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 23:15:01 +0000

Buick, GM’s luxury vehicle line, has shown signs that the brand is turning the corner and making its way back to being more profitable. Although models like the Chevy Malibu have sold out in many dealerships across the world, GM’s Buick brand has lost its popularity over the past few years. But now it looks like Buick vehicles have been selling more at dealers like Saginaw GM and many other dealers throughout the country. GM hopes to return to high profitability and continue being one of the top automakers like the world like Volkswagen whose latest vehicle models can be purchased at a VW Peoria dealership.

Buick has made name changes to its marketing plan spearheaded by GM’s new marketing chief, Joel Ewanick. The Buick brand has took leads in becoming one of the top brands for GM very gradually, and it now looks like Buick may continue to be a very profitable brand for GM. The Buick Enclave, Regal, and LaCrosse vehicle sales have skyrockted since last year after a shift in marketing was made to target a younger demographic. Buick vehicles may have been stereotyped in the past as being made for older people, however the latest Enclave, Regal, and LaCrosse Buick models feature the latest in technology and features that can appease any younger buyer.

In China, Buick is the number one brand and has become very popular. Oldsmobile has a saying: “this is not your grandfather’s car anymore,” and Buick hopes to implement that saying with all of its new vehicle models. The LaCross model is selling out as fast as it is produced. One executive said that the sky is the limit for Buick, and that Buick is now the fastest growing brand in America. Buick may take a much larger place in luxury vehicle competition in the future if the brand keeps selling out like this.

Buick Makes a Luxury SUV

While you are out car shopping, make sure you check out the Buick Enclave when you go to Bradenton used cars. It is unlikely that you will find this Ford Motor Co. product at Peoria VW, especially if you are looking for the recent 2010 model. The Buick Enclave is standard with a 4 year 50,000 mile bumper-to-bumper basic warranty, which is better even than reliable Toyota Denver where the line up comes with a 3 year 36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty.

The Enclave will give drivers 24 mpg out on the highway and 17 mpg while driving in town. Its MSRP prices are pretty high compared to the rest of its class, with a range of $35,515 up to $43,995. J.D. Power and Associates gives the Enclave a 7.0 Good rating for reliability, and that rating is based on data trends for three years from consumer surveys. U.S. News gave it a 9.9 Excellent for safety based on NHTSA crash test studies. U.S. News also gave the vehicle great reviews, criticizing it only for not having the option of a V8 engine and reported inconsistency among different units regarding the quality of materials used in the interior. Nonetheless, consumers report that it is comfortable to drive in and that the inside cabin is just as quiet as a Lexus. The drive is smooth and has tight, responsive handling. And no one can judge the sleek exterior finish of the Enclave, as it is nothing but class.

If you still feel the need to shop around, the Enclave ties for first place with the Chevrolet Traverse in the Affordable Midsize SUV category. The Traverse comes with a third row backseat, so it can carry eight passengers while the Enclave can carry seven. Also, consider the Lincoln MKX, which may cost about $3,000 more but also has a more luxurious interior and standard comfort features.

Buick Regal: All Buick Ever Needed?

Haley — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:27:37 +0000

The new-found inspiration for the Buick company has seemed to stem from, surprisingly enough, another car company itself. One filled with dignity, luxury, and a long established amount of popularity. This company is known by the highly-esteemed name: Lexus. Of course Irwin Zone Ford and Patty Peck Honda may not have the same refined reputation, but they do share in common the same respectable nature and customer service virtues that all their customers recognize and appreciate.

It is Buick’s hope to redefine itself and make a better future both for its customers, employees, as well as the company name. In doing so, they have geared and brought back the all-new Buick Regal to seem more fitting for their more compact style-attributed customers. It is to be unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show and sure to cause quite a stir to most considering the fact that after the 2011 Regal hits the market the Buick company will finally have a smaller mid-size car that will seem to have everyone glancing at it!

Buick Lucerne or Buick Loser?

Haley — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:09:00 +0000

The Buick Lucerne has not provided very much competition for other competitors that have provided Cincinnati Ford Dealer Specials as well as Cincinnati used cars that by far top the Buick Lucerne both in pricing and the selection they have to offer.

The Buick Lucerne has not offered much to the Buick consumer other than a comfortable cruising ride and an exceptionally spacious cabin. Something of which has also been provide by other competitors such as the Hyundai Genesis that you can find at your nearest New Jersey Hyundai dealer at a much more reasonable price.

If you choose to side with the Buick Lucerne however you will be siding with a V6 model that is underpowered, lacking in luxurious features to its competitors, and sluggish in nature making it slow and less able-bodied for hard turns.

Unique and One-of-a-Kind: Buick LaCrosse.

Haley — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 06:38:54 +0000

Out of all the cars on the Buick line the Buick LaCrosse seems to be the most surprising of all. Armored with a complete opposite appeal than most journalists and consumers are used to it is no wonder that it left its spectators slightly shell-shocked at its unveiling. Even so, it gives consumers who were considering buying a Cincinnati used car or looking to visit Terry Lee Honda a big incentive to consider a Buick dealer instead.

If the sleek exterior isn’t enough the luxurious exterior may do the trick, or the strong accelerator under the hood that gives it a much sportier drive than any other Buick. Yet with all of this being said, it is also safe for the consumer to realize that their isn’t quite a big trunk with the unique Buick and even more so that is not designed for the sportier buyers.

The One the Only, Buick Enclave.

Haley — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 22:15:17 +0000

Amongst the greatest of the great affordable midsized SUV’s, the Buick Enclave stands rigid against the competition. Of course this is not found surprising by customers who have very much taken interest in the sleek and classy exterior to the Buick Enclave that has been having consumers turning away from other competitors such as Greenville Chevy dealers and Indianapolis Honda dealers.

What would possess consumers to choose this midsized SUV over such other popular companies? After getting behind the wheel of a Buick Enclave and taking it for a test drive it all becomes clear. With a whisper quiet cabin with durable and comfortable seats for preparation of any road-trip as well as a smooth, quiet ride who would want to turn the Enclave down?

Of course it does have the flaw of a non-optional V8 engine and somewhat of inconsistent quality with interior materials, but at the rate this car has with the crowd-pleasing antics, I do not doubt that it would have any problems making up these small downsides to the consumer. So don’t wait–go take one for a test drive today!

Buick Announces Price of the New 2010 Buick LaCrosse

Haley — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 00:18:38 +0000

The press has been in quite a buzz since the 2010 Buick Lacrosse was announced at the Detroit Auto Show, of course the buzzing was of positive reviews. The new Buick is seen as the major competitor to similarly priced sedans such as the Acura TSX, Lexus ES350, and the Lincoln MKZ. However now the LaCrosse has another advantage, a lower price than all three.

Starting at $27,835, the 2010 Lacrosse CX will deliver 255 horsepower and 217 lp-ft of torque using a 3.0 L direct injection V6 engine, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. There is also a CXL model starting at $32,570 which delivers all-wheel drive, automatic climate control, and heated leather seats. The high-end CXS upgrades the engine to a 3.6 L, providing 280 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. This beauty starts at $33,765.

Cincinnati Ford dealerships are interested in what the new car will do to the industry. A Beechmont Ford representative said, “…the car definitely has potential. That is an attractive price for consumers, and the power that comes along with it certainly is a great value.” The LaCrosse is expected to begin manufacturing this summer, and will be in dealers hands shortly after that. Autoblog.com is saying that this years model could be the “savior of the brand”

One thing is for sure, people are excited to see how the car preforms.

Buick Tops Lexus in Dependability

Paul — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 12:37:38 +0000

In a recent report issued by JD Powers and Associates Buick has toppled Lexus in Vehicle Dependability. This is great news for struggling General Motors in the quest for survivability. The report rates vehicles for the number of reported faults over a three year period. Buick does share this top spot with Jaguar, which was recently sold by Ford Motor Company.

Many dealers should be grateful for this new revelation. A Cincinnati Chevy Dealer reports that their traffic has increased on their Buick nameplate.

It is unfortunate that good brands are not represented in this top award. While at the same time Used Infiniti in New Jersey are still moving well. Ford delaers still have some things to be excited about as well. With a couple of their vehicles making the cut in this recent report.

The Ford Ranger was also featured as the leader in the small truck segment. This will really benefit our friends at a Cincinnati Ford Dealer and help drive consumers to this awesome vehicle. We just hope it does not lose its ground when Ford introducees the 2011 Ford Ranger.
