19: Make a Better Buick
In addition to the Cadillac lineup, the Buick line of cars has gotten lost in the fray. GM is on a mad dash to create as many crossover vehicles as possible and rush them to the market. Buick has had a sales success with the Encore, but the rest of the lineup has been lackluster at best. The Regal Tour X is a lost wagon that has no identity and the Cascada is a great convertible that was released at the wrong time. Buick could be so much more if the cars were better.
The company is close, as current sedans are some of the highest quality they’ve ever designed. But now with GM announcing it’s leaving the passenger car market the Buick brand is in question. Sedans that once made Buick an icon of American comfort and styling have become no more, creating a problem for the dealerships and the Buick aficionados.
