General Motors has been taking a beating for over a year now due to sales dips, make/model image problems, and labor and legacy issues. Truly, if there was a better time to jumpstart the company, I dont know what it would be. Fortunately, someone in GMs walnut-trimmed boardroom is getting the message: build what we want and we will buy it. The Buick Enclave, a luxury SUV making the rounds of the U.S. auto shows, appears to be one such winner.
I realize that I am in the minority of car critics, but I think that Buick is on the right track. The Lucerne, a full sized car based on the Cadillac DTS, is a beauty and Buicks next newest model, the mid sized Lacrosse, is another attractive looking car. Still, Buicks remaining fleet has been scaled back with only two SUVs and one crossover vehicle, the Terraza, left. At times it isnt clear what plans GM has for its near luxury division, but if the Enclave is one example, then Buick has a promising future.
Without having pictures available to show you, it can be difficult to describe the Enclave. When I viewed pictures on various web sites, I couldnt help but think that the Enclave was similar to the Subaru B9 Tribeca....
