2018 Buick Torx - $40 large for the Buick Outback . Included in my buildout:

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

I need a sunroof and unfortunately it’s only available on the to p trim level. Bad product planning Buick.

The color I chose was one of the two “free” choices and IMO the best of any of them. Thankfully Buick allows the darker interior with this color choice.

One more thing, t h e name is horrible. I’d prefer Buick Sportwagon but “wagon” turns people off so we call it either a type of fastener or the plural of rotational force.

They forgot to paint the fenders? Come on, GM.

Wow, I just went and looked it up. Pleasantly surprised by the pricing, I was expecting much higher. Cool! Also, I really like converting tourx to tourques!

Painted body cladding should be at least an option like Audi offers for the A4 and A6 Allroad. But that will probably   not happen.

Too bad this doesn’t have the 2 options I want on the Tourx which is the 3.6V6 and the better 9 speed.

Also, found one for way less than $40K* close to what you configured

it’s clearly because it’s so “offroad”.

In Buick terms, it’s not “offroad” — it’s “overcurb” and occasionally “into farmer’s market”

I am not a fan of body cladding obviously but it won;t be a deal breaker for me. However, the new Allroad looks so good regardless, and given its the only wagon option in the Audi US lineup, I’ll take one in green or dark blue

To  be fair, the Outback Outback prices close to $40k these days, so the Buick isn’t really all that high.

Gotland green is just such a beautiful color. I’m kinda glad Audi still offers actual colors instead of the usual 50 shades of silver. Believe it or not I’ve already spotted a few Allroads with body colored cladding. Oh, and they’re good to drive even with the 163hp 2.0 TDI.

I hate that I can’t have black upper interior on the blue car. Who the fuck wants a light interior roof with black bottom half ?! I fucking hate that they do this.

Don’t forget that 40 large? Zero incentives . My Buick guy is fantastic at finding every single penny in a deal. GM makes it impossible to do a goddamn thing. And don’t even ask about leasing them.

Looking at Autotrader U.K. at Sports Tourers and Country Tourers (Regal Tour X) .

There are 45 Sports Tourers and not a single Country Tourer.

I always forget about the Insignia estates .

It’s a good looking car.
