BUICK New Designs - Yes or No?

[909FX]

So looks like Buick finally woke up and made some major improvements on their design. These no longer look like Grandpa/Grandma cars.

2010 La Crosse:

not too sure.. even with their new designs im not feeling it, def an improvement over the older models for sure

There is a 2010 La Crosse at my schools auto section. The vents in the hood are weird and out of place. The car is also extremely tall. Kind of striking =, but it seems to be a mix of Japanese and Euro influences.

I guess it is the new American design though, started by the cadillac.

Nope, don't like either.

Buick Regal is actually new european car Opel Insignia

Too little too late. If they gave the Regal a "GNX" badge with 400ft/lbs, a 4-speed auto, RWD, and gave the 2008 Accord its styling back, then I may consider it.

 

[909FX]

Yeah, I would NOT buy one. But I think it's a great improvement for them. They should have done it a long time ago though. But I guess, better late than never.

Forreal... why are they not going retro??? I think a new GNX would be awesome, and a T-top Turbo Regal with more of the boxy style would probably be pretty successful, no?

I think the new Buicks are nicer than any comparable car from Japan. I just cannot get over the Buick name though, it sounds old, blind, deaf, and on the verge of death.

I think they both are a big improvement over the past few years. They still remind me of an older person's car.

now the older folks can drive in style!!!!! wouldn't buy it over a caddy though
I think it has a target but not in my direction....

I like them. I saw the new Lacrosse at the 2009 Auto Show in LA, and I thought it stood out against a lot of competition.

That's a great idea.

He is sponsored by Buick, but don't even drive them. What does that say? lol

I wonder what is Buick's thought on him crashing the Escalade? lol

 

[GJBenn85]

Considering Buick is GM as is Cadillac, I doubt they much care.

 

[909FX]

I guess it's ok since he kept it in the family. lol what if it would have been an FX50s instead of an escalade? lol
