No Buick
I went to Buicks Website because I was thinking about a Luxury sedan after seeing the experimental Avenir model. But WTF did I see? Nothing!!! Buick makes no more cars! All effing SUVs now!...If they were going to do that sh!t they should have dropped Buick and kept Pontiac!!!

These a-holes at Ford and GM think that people will move from buying cars to SUV's and its not happening. People are shifting from buying Ford and GM cars that they don't make anymore to buying Hyundai, KIA, and Honda's because they sell actual cars.
But GM has neglected Buick for years. |

Pontiac was Firebird/Trans Am, Grand Prix, Bonneville, GTO. Everything else was junk and not worthy. That's what killed it. In all honesty, if having Pontiac remain a performance brand and continuing production of the Firebird/Trans Am and/or the GTO on the Camaro's Alpha platform meant the Camaro going away, I would not be opposed to that. The Pontiac shield, the red/orange backlit gauges and dashboard, the whole thing about Pontiac vibe was black leather jacket, leather driving gloves, and aviator sun glasses. Timeless cool. Buick? Meh. They're your Grandma's car. They had their moments with the GSX, Grand National, and GNX..... Reatta and Riviera if you're into the whole super high tech luxury coupe thing...... but really were always Grandma's car. My Mom has a 2019 LaCrosse. But unlike most Grandmas she balances life with her 2016 Corvette w/Z51 track package |

Wake up folks! Hasn’t anyone noticed all the SUVs on the roads now? They are everywhere. I can usually count the cars on 2 hands when sitting in traffic. Once gas hits 5 dollars or more a gallon people will be wanting to get cars again to save money instead of SUVs big and small and of course trucks included!

I mean, do you really need 60 cu. ft of cargo space to get the groceries? If you seriously need even half that, you and the significant other need to get fixed |

We've recently found that you can buy 3-4:year old lightly used Buick sedans for dirt cheap. The resale is horrible. My girl was looking a loaded 2017 Lacrosse with 30,000 miles and they were asking 20k. This car had a sticker of 46k brand new in 2017. Hell of a car at that price, and this particular one had a great history and is certified pre- owned.

Two years ago we got one of the few remaining Buick LaCrosses available. It's a darn shame they stopped making these. The LaCrosse is a big, comfortable car with a V6 that has over 300HP and gets 34MPG+ in highway driving. We love it!
GM needs to wake up and start making cars like that again.

It is a bit sad the Buick is no longer making cars. They've always had the reputation of being the grandma car, but they were excellent for what they were. Most of them rode very well, great on gas and have big enough motors to actually move the car.

Buick is basically a Chinese car that GM only makes in China...What Buick SUVs sold here are made in China....Buick has some celestial ancient connection to the Chinese...They can keep them over there....Buick in the US is dead.
