As far as car brands go, Buick is simply a shell of itself. My declaration isn't designed to insult GM's premium brand, wedged between Cadillac and Chevrolet, and designed to appeal to customers who want some of the trappings of a luxury model without having to pay the big price.
Rather, Buick's problems can be traced to GM's brand expansion which included until recent years eight North American brands, diluting and diminishing the potency of its other brands. Pursuing its bankruptcy and restructuring last year, GM shed four of those brands which has meant that it may start to repair Buick as well as its three remaining brands: Cadillac, GMC and Chevrolet.
Lucerne - Of all four model lines, the Lucerne is the most outdated one of them all. Borrowing technology prevalent during the early on 1990s, this full sized front wheel drive sedan is powered by its front wheels. The body is stylish and the car is a cheap substitute for the pricey Cadillac DTS, but it stocks nothing with its upscale cousin. A 3. 9L V6 powers this five or six passenger four door, but paired with a dated four-speed programmed transmitting it only produces 227 horsepower, performance numbers from a bygone era. Sure, the vehicle is well equipped, but two ton front tyre drive cars aren't exactly prized for steering, a weakness that has conspired to keep Lucerne sales down. Such as way down.
LaCrosse - Smaller than the Lucerne, but larger than most midsize sedans, the LaCrosse was brand new for 2010 and has benefited from the new body style and engine selections including 3. 0L and 3. 6L V6s and a recently released 2. 4L I4. All engines are paired with six-speed automatic transmissions. Producing 255 horse power, this five passenger model produces 255 horsepower or 280 with the bigger V6. If you want economy, the four cylinder will give you about 30 miles per gallon on the highway, but that comes at the expense of moving practically two tons of metal down the street. Think about the strain on this engine when five people are being carried.
Portion - This eight traveler crossover model should be considered the flagship of the New Buick dealer Harrisburg, a car that could have easily been sold as a Cadillac instead. Don't think for a point in time that have not been lost on Cadillac dealers who would prefer to sell something less heavy (and blingy) than the Escalade. Available in front side or all wheel drive, the Enclave offers just one engine choice: a 3. 6L V6 associated with a six speed programmed transmission. But, that vehicle produces 288 horsepower, an immediate injection that effectively works to squeeze every bit of power out of it. Lots of snacks are featured in the Enclave including rear back-up camera, Bluetooth connectivity, four-wheel independent suspension, Bose system, other great tales.
Regal - The hottest Used Buick dealership Harrisburg is built in Germany with strategies to begin building it in Canada in the first quarter of 2011. Smaller than the LaCrosse by just six ins and several 229 pounds brighter, this five passenger sedan offers a 2. 4L I4 engine paired with a six-speed programmed transmission to deliver 30 mpg on the highway. Buick is marketing the car with only one trim level, CXL, which means you'll get a well equipped four door and nothing less. In Europe, the car is sold as the Opel Insignia which was to be sold here as the next generation Saturn Aura before GM made the decision to kill the Saturn brand. Traction control, XM radio, Bluetooth, OnStar and 12-way power seat are among the goodies offered with the Regal.
