1971 Buick Gsx Tribute on 2040-cars
Laguna Niguel, California, United States
You are bidding on a very nice 1971 Buick GSX Tribute. Bought the car a few months ago with the intention of keeping it forever. Unfortunately I blew the motor in my 442 during a 4th of July racing event and must sell this car to pay for the rebuild. Started life as a very straight, rust free Skylark with only 59,000 original miles. All original metal with super solid floors and trunk pan. Previous owner found a period correct Buick 455 and had it built to Stage 1 standards (bored .040 over (464 CID), 10.8 compression ratio; forged pistons. Small performance cam. Rhoads bleed off hydraulic lifters. Edelbrock aluminum intake. 645 CFM Quadrant carburetor.) Freshly rebuilt Turbo 400 Transmission, 12 bolt posi reared with 3.73 gears. Very fast, tons of torque, no overheating and sound like a beast. Nice quality paint has a few very minor imperfections, but looks perfect from three feet away. Correct GSX striping and emblems, 15 inch Buick Rally wheels, brand new Cooper Cobra tires, power disc brakes, power steering, new custom dual exhaust. The interior was all redone with a beautiful white & black theme that matches the exterior. The seats were completely redone, new door panels, headliner, carpet, etc. Nice original dash with factory gauges and knobs. Vinyl top is in good condition but has a minor tear by the bottom lower corner of the rear window. This car draws attention everywhere it goes and will make for a great cruiser and trophy winner at local shows. I tried to describe the car the best I could and have included many photos and videos of the interior and exterior. As with any 40+ year old car, there is no warranty. I'm not a dealer or flipper and would prefer not to sell to dealers or flippers. Will not sell to someone with negative feedback. $500 deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. I'm also advertising the car locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. No disappointments.. awesome car. Please email with any questions. Thanks

Next-gen LaCrosse, Cascada convertible coming to Buick showrooms in 2016
Wed, 23 Jul 2014It's difficult to overstate how significant the post-bankruptcy years have been for General Motors' Buick brand. Arguably the most improved American automaker, Buick has rounded out its range with an excellent compact in the Verano, a well-balanced midsizer in the Regal and a segment-busting mini-CUV, with the Encore.
Seeking to keep that momentum going, the next several years will see the brand address a trio of its most obvious issues. First and foremost will be a replacement for the aging LaCrosse, a vehicle whose only bit of attention since its 2009 debut was a very light refresh in 2013.
According to Automotive News, we should expect the next-generation LaCrosse to arrive late next year or early in 2016, as a 2016 model. AN expects big design changes, as Buick attempts to further the LaCrosse from its popular platform-mate, the Chevrolet Impala. The changes won't be so radical, though, as to do away with its front-drive architecture, as the latest version of the Epsilon platform will underpin the next LaCrosse. The 3.6-liter V6 is likely to carry on, although a smaller, budget-minded offering is also extremely likely (we'll eat our hat if it's not the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder from the Regal, Verano and Cadillac CTS et al.).
Buick Envision crossover to premiere in China
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Buick currently offers two crossovers: the compact Encore and the extra-large Enclave, leaving plenty of room to slot a mid-size crossover in between. And that's just what Buick is planning on doing. In China, anyway.
Previewed in the teaser above, Buick's upcoming new crossover is cloaked and nestled in between its aforementioned stablemates-to-be. Set to be unveiled in China sometime later this year, the model has been confirmed to wear the name Envision - at least in that market. That's the name which the concept version wore three years ago, but we're still waiting on word over whether that name will carry over to the US version or whether we should expect something different like Anthem. But we have to admit that Envision fits better in the brand's crossover naming scheme.
Shanghai GM isn't saying much about the Envision in the press release below, aside from it having "dynamic and assertive styling" backed by all-wheel drive and stop/start ignition. The last time Buick offered a mid-size crossover in North America was with the Pontiac Aztek-based Rendezvous that was discontinued seven years ago.

Wed, 24 Jul 2013A Nice, New Buick Aims For Middle Of The Road
Any time someone describes some portion of a car or a driving experience as being "nice," I want to either A) throttle them or B) run as fast and as far as I can from that vehicle. "Nice" is among the most insidious words in the English language - at best it's vague, and at worst, it conveys the exact opposite of its literal meaning. Yet it seems to be used with damnable frequency when it comes to verbally illustrating vehicles. "It looks really nice," or "These seats feel nice," or, heaven forefend, "It's got a nice ride," are all windy signifiers of absolutely nothing resembling a concrete opinion. "Nice" is the adjectival equivalent of meekly smiling and nodding your head.
Of course, I'm as guilty as the next person of having thrown English's least powerful descriptor around. There's even a chance that, rant aside, you'll catch me making nice in reviews to come. That's fine, but you should know that when you stumble upon such usage, past or future, that you've found a sentence in which I'm simply applying a bare minimum of effort to the task.
