Apparently Buick is launching a new Enclave at the New York Auto Show? And (get this) its Avenir sub brand with them showing an Enclave Avenir. So Buick is positing Avenir to be their sub brand that makes Buicks more posh? This is the first I’m hearing of this and Im actually surprised.

They gotta do something after selling Opel, right? I have no idea what that something will be, but perhaps it’s replace all Buicks with non-opels...

Yea but non Opels have to be something and what would that something be? Honestly they need to go away.

They would all be Avenirs, from the planet Aven, obviously....

Hopefully Avenir is as successful for Buick as Denali has been for GMC.

They could make slightly-less-posh Buicks, and even add some sporty ones- then call them Oldsmobile and Pontiac. You could even polish some of the cheaper turds and market them as, I don’t know, Saturns?

The Avenir sub-brand news was posted on the FP a few months ago. As for news of the next Enclave, the FP would have to give a shit about Buick first, to post news about it. Pisses me off that they don’t.

I dont think it will be. They have to hit the ground running to make people consider them as near luxury. And near luxury, depending on the nameplate is pretty much luxury, so there for competitive.

Nah none of that would work anymore. Chevy’s lineup is so bloated now its taken the place of both of those.

Oh I must’ve missed it. But I agree with you about the Enclave. Its always been a favorite of mine and I had been waiting for a next gen. Its been the best of the Lambda platformed crossovers.

Chevy’s lineup hasn’t changed much after Pontiac and Olds were axed though.
