there are 7 houses in my cul-de-sac and 3 of them have Enclaves. Nobody over 50.

Buick is and always will be a brand for aging people and the Chinese. They should stop fighting it and just embrace it.

Their still trying to move away from that whole "It's Thanksgiving, your wife just found out you're fricking countless whores on the side, and she's about to put your Nike Vapor through the windshield of your Buick" stereotype.

The Buick skylark would never be confused with the corvette

Came here to say that.

Probably the best near-luxury SUV on the market.
(certainly top 3)


These threads always out the people that haven't bought a new vehicle in the last 10 years.

When you think of it...Senior Citizens usually drive comfortable, safe cars that are easy to maintain. Embrace your inner Geezer.

I heard that 50% of Chinese men over the age of 50 have cataracts...

























...the rest drive Chevro-rays and Reenkins...

Old folks.

My uncle had one of these back in the day:



I think it was the first car I ever rode in that had a/c.

My brother and his wife bought a 2015 Enclave and it is a very nice auto. I did make a joke to him about driving it to Hilton Head, SC for vacation saying that he would fit in with all the old blue hairs there.

the problem I have with those ads (aside form the annoying jingle) is that every single one of those is done in a way that either the people who are surprised by the Buick or the one that drives it comes off as super like a douche.

Like who the frick sits the back of a car whispering "I thought you said they drove a Buick" while their friends are being nice enough to drive them somewhere? A normal person would just compliment the car and say they didn't realize it would be so nice.

Or how about the one where a girl is giving her friend a ride and simply says "I'm in the Buick" when its clear as fricking day the friend doesn't see her. Stick your damn head out the window and say hey instead of making them pick out your brand new car.

Every single one has a person acting like a douche and its annoying as hell.
