In a post recession economy GM believes that the answer for those in search of a new vehicle is Buick. Buick believes that buyers who made it out of the recession OK, but will still be cautious of their spending and not looking to attract too much attention will look to the Buick line of vehicles for a luxury without the giant price tag.

This appeal brought a 52% increase in sales to Buick last year, with hopes that looking back next year, that percentage will be even greater with the introduction of their new premium compact sedan the Verano.

The Verano is a front wheel drive sedan compared to other small luxury vehicles that are rear wheel drive and place their emphasis on handling and speed. The Verano places its strength in its smooth, quiet ride.

It is suspected that this vehicle will appeal to young professionals and empty nesters. With a starting price of $23,470, this is within reach of many Americans. With Buick's new revamping of their style, the "old Buick" is no longer...

Published Monday, 09 May, 2011 by Blake Arbogast. Categories: Buick.

Last month Europe got its first look at the 2012 Opel Astra GTC. Why do we care here in the United States? Well, General Motors has announced that it will be coming over the ocean to us in the form of a new model Buick!

The Astra is not new in the states, it was here originally as the Saturn Astra. Opel took the vehicle, redesigned and drastically improved it and released it as the Astra GTC.

The car will be offered with hatchback and convertible models, as well as four and six cylinder models. The Astra would have probably come into the Pontiac line up if it were still around, but it will now help to continue with the reshaping of the Buick image.

Keep your eyes peeled for more information regarding this exciting new addition to the Buick line up! Check our website out periodically at for updates. As a Buick dealer we will be proud to help get you behind the wheel of your very own as soon as we get them in!

Gone are the days when a cell phone was chosen purely by its ability to place and receive calls. With the advent of the smartphone, having apps that combine practicality with functionality are swiftly becoming the norm.

GM is looking to cash in on the smartphone craze, and directly compete with the Ford SYNC, with its MyLink system that is scheduled to come out later this year on Chevrolet models, and will soon be expanding it into the Buick and GMC brands. It is being changed to IntelliLink for new Buick and GMC models, but will be virtually identical to MyLink. The newest models to feature this top of the li ne technology are the 2012 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, and Verano, and the 2012 GMC Terrain.
