I'll agree. It was always a treat to drive a Buick for work -- from the Skylark to the Park Avenue - Supercharged.
My Grandfather was a big Buick guy. His last car was a 70's Electra 225. Today, it would be considered an RV!
I'm afraid that the brand will die-out like Oldsmobile if they don't figure things out soon. They have 3 models available (2 passenger cars and one SUV). Saturn is poised as the "Entry Luxury" segment leader and could force them out, with Cadillac taking the full-in luxo branding. Olds could have easily done this with the addition of a "sporty" appeal. GM frankly gave up on it.
