****** like that pisses me off, its a gm, who cares...

It can piss you off all you like. GM has earned their sh!tty reputation over the years and it is very hard to climb out from under that rock once you are there. They did it to themselves with crappy cars and an arrogant attitude. If you polish a turd you have a shiney piece of shat.....only time will tell if the quality matches the look.

buick actually gets pretty decent quality ratings.

Can i modify the portholes to allow me to shoot at my adversaries? Or King Kong?

What's the point of them anyways, is it to evoke some nostalgia in their octegenarian target market?

Buick invented them way the hell back when. they originated it, and thus, they are fully allowed to use them again.

I asked why they bother, not if it was legal for them to.

styling to make all Buicks have something similar other than just a grille.

If it drives well and looks good, why wouldn't you buy it? Buick's reliability is tops within GM and among the industry best.

I think the concept looks good for the most part. The interior has too many different textures and materials, but it seems like a genuine attempt at an original style. Something we don't see very often from GM, so it gets a :thumbsup: from me.

Let's hope they don't ruin it going to production.

It isn't to bad...

In Subaru dreams . . .

Tiger Woods might actually . . . nevermind . . . Tiger Woods' personal assistant might actually drive that thing. Assuming GM has enough sense to build this thing at one of their good factories . . . this dog might hunt.

I don't love it, but I like it a whole lot better than the Rendezvous, which is almost (but not quite) as pug-fugly as its sister, the Pontiac Aztek. The chrome (particularly the bezels around the taillights) is just too much IMO.

Yeah, I will believe it when I see it. Buick is definitely going upmarket but that's tough territory. Regardless, if I was a betting person I would bet on this thing before most products coming out of Lincoln.

Having said that, I bet SRX buyers will be the biggest converts.
