In this Premium Group 2 spec, it’s darn impressive. I love the way it looks.

Kinja'd!!!

See, I used to hate it.

In base model spec it was utterly terrible.

But now it’s a true luxury car. It’s comfy, quiet, looks good, and has a ton of features.

Good job, GM.

This car has AWD option, no?

Yes it does. I believe this one is FWD, though.

NO WAY. I’m just leaving the Hawaiian islands. We only did Maui in our 10 day trip. Our rental was a Nissan Altima S.

What islands are you planing on going to?

We’re staying in Oahu, but traveling around it a bit to visit beaches.

Oh ok. We rented two properties. The first 5 nights was spent at a Villa very near to Napili beach. The second 5 nights were spent in the Upcountry at the Haleakala Princess Estate. We travelled pretty much around the whole island.

Are you staying in a resort?

Still nice nonetheless! I’ve also grown quite fond of the current Insignia Regal, especially the GS trim.

I’m staying at a hotel next to the beach. (I think you’d call it a hotel)

Buick’s trying to reel in customers and it’s working. I think their lineup today is impressive.

They’re definitely headed in the right direction. If the Avenir is any indication of their future models, Buick can look forward to a huge sales increase.

The current regal also has fantastic handling capabilities. Minimal front overhang and the car’s not too heavy.

agree - they look even better in the darker colors I think. The only quibble - the goofy stick on “portholes”, (it seems to me there must be a more creative way to encompass that traditional Buick “feature”.)

The Lacrosse is a handsome thing in gray, IMO.

Perhaps they could make the portholes less tacky by losing the chrome and making them work? If so then they’d be appreciated.

A cat named after a font. Appealing.
