     Typical night out as I ease up to the red light.  The driver's eyes are blooming in the rice burner buzzing next to the big Buick.   The looks on their faces' are something, staring in awe, you've got to see the confusion, and disillusion in their beady eyes to believe.  I snick the column shifter into low gear -- depress the brake and adjust the accelerator to the floor.  The front end of the Buick rises a foot, I take the foot off the accelerator and bear down on the brake.  The car hangs high in limbo, then I pat the dash . . . ease off on the brake and the front end of the car drops like a rock and assumes it's eat me stance.  The rice burner pilot and his passengers stare through pin prick pupils. I'm not much into this new age of drifting, but the big Buick's got several tricks up her pipes.  Brakes on, accelerator down, the TA Radials sand off rubber and a nice cloud of smoke drifts into the Mitsubishi's windows. Now that's drifting . . .  The exhaust pipes conveniently exit right behind the wheels pointed like shotguns.  The smoke's bad, but I tach her up, and the noise drowns out the rice burner's buddy's latest rap song.

Green light, hammer down, the big Buick blasts away. At 40 miles an hour I snick her into to second and the tires bark.  Bye, bye rice burner.

Wouldn't you really rather have A Buick

     Never had anything like this.  Nine passenger muscle car with air shocks. 455 high performance motor turning a turbo 400 linked to 3.42 gears.  Car is extremely clean, needs a dash pad, and a little polishing up top.  Rust free Arizona car.  I've had many muscle cars.  This car brings people in droves.  It's a big block ground pounder.  If you want a little peace and quite it's not for you.  You might never find another car like this anywhere.  Most of the station wagons have been crushed, sent to China, and are sitting on Harbor Freight shelves in the form of tools and nick knacks.  The car is fast, spacious, to say the least it, is an absolute riot.  I truly believe, as it is equipped. It might be the only one in the US like it.  It has a tilt wheel featuring a sport steering wheel and a nice cd, iPod, USB compatible deck. Glass is perfect and everything's there. People come to it like hyenas to ham.  Runs cool, high volume oil pump, and great documented history.  DRIVE ANYWHERE . . .

7K worth of motor work.  And Yes -- It's a 455 . . .

Buick asks design students 'What could a Buick sedan look like in 2030?'

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

When you think of daring concept cars or emotional design-student projects, Buick probably isn't the first brand that comes to mind. It's not for lack of concepts; when General Motors ran down 11 concept-car highlights from Buick's 110-year history, three of them are from the past 15 years, with other experiments in that same timeframe like the Black Hawk, Centieme and Cielo left unmentioned.
But the company still thinks about them even if we don't. It ran a contest for students at Detroit's College for Creative Studies to create a Buick for the year 2030 that would incorporate future materials and transportation needs, and nanotechnology.
Best exterior design went to Sam Kenny for his Neo Classical Buick, Justin Salmon took honors for innovative material use, like having exposed algae on the bodyshell to generate energy, and Namsuk Lee nabbed best overall concept and best interior for his Buick Vision Sedan. You can read more about the design challenge and winners in the press release, and hear students talk about what went into the work in the video below.

2024 Buick Encore GX refresh adds Wildcat looks, Avenir trim

Thu, Feb 16 2023

Buick made it clear with the Wildcat EV concept that styling cues from it would start appearing on future products. It turns out the first of them is the refreshed 2024 Encore GX subcompact crossover. And that may seem a little odd to start a revamp of the lineup with the entry-level model, but there is some logic to it. According to Buick representatives, the Encore GX made sense for a few reasons. It was due for a refresh regardless, but also it's the brand's best seller, one that's growing and attracting younger buyers. And as far as refreshes go, the Encore GX's is pretty substantial. The front end is completely redone with the low, frowning grille of the Wildcat and the glaring LED daytime running lights high up. The rear has been updated with new LED taillights and rear bumper design, too, plus the new Buick logo and word mark placed prominently in the middle of the hatch. There are unique features for two new trim levels. The ST, which has been promoted to a full trim instead of just an add-on appearance package, gets gloss black body cladding and other trim such as on the mirrors. It gets unique wheels, ST badges in the grille, and a flat-bottom steering wheel inside. The Avenir, a first for the model and an addition that makes the Avenir trim available on every Buick, features bright grille inserts, body color trim, clear taillight lenses and unique interior upholstery. All Encore GXs benefit from interior updates. Almost the entire dash has been redesigned, mainly in service of the new instruments and infotainment. Every trim gets an 8-inch digital instrument cluster and 11-inch infotainment touch screen. Other details such as the climate control buttons and dials have been revamped as well. The screen can be used to access wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Avenir trim sweetens the interior with unique leather upholstery, power adjustable front seats (10-way for the driver, 8-way for the passenger), a heated steering wheel, air ionizer and auto-dimming rear mirror. Things are mostly the same under the skin, though. The base engine is a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder making 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. The optional turbo 1.3-liter three-cylinder makes 155 horsepower and 174 pound-feet. They're basically carry-over, as are the drivetrain combinations. Front-wheel-drive Encore GXs get a CVT, and the all-wheel-drive ones get a nine-speed automatic. Pricing is quite reasonable. The base model starts at $26,895.

Buick picks top 11 highlights from first 11 decades

Sun, 21 Apr 2013

Buick has taken the time to highlight some of the company's personal points of pride from the past 110 years. Those include everything from the automaker's very first vehicle, the 1904 Model B, to what Buick claims is the world's first concept car: The 1938 Y Job (above). That one also walked away with the worst name for a design study.
All told, the automaker has sold 43 million vehicles through the end of last year, and those include the lusty 1963 Riviera. That model celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2013, and remains one of the brand's most iconic designs.
Of course, Buick is rightfully proud of its quickest model, too. The 1987 GNX managed a 4.6-second bolt to 60 mph in tests by Car and Driver, and it also took the honor of being one of the automaker's rarest creations at just 547 units. You can check out all 10 in the gallery above.
