They need to bring back the Grand National.

Recently bought a Buick for the wife and I'm thoroughly impressed. This is coming from a longtime GM hater

Buick has been up there in the reliability rankings for well over a decade now.

They make sturdy products that are apparently well screwed together and well maintained by their owners.

Interesting. I don't even know what models Buick has out there. Do they still make giant granny cars?

Probably the only collector car (and it's twin the Monte Carlo) in the shitiest decade of US automobile making.

FCA spun Ram into a new division. Looks like they are phasing out the Dodge brand.....possibly to replace it with the Fiat brand at the CDJR dealerships.

It's not a Grand National, but the Regal Turbo is a very nice driving car. I think you can get it with a good 6 speed and AWD.

It's a bit smaller than the LaCrosse, but still has the typical quiet interior common in Buicks.

Very interesting to see the Nissan Maxima on there. I feel like those are super popular cars which would translate to a decent resale market.

What an asinine list for all practical purposes. I understand this is the OT, but who buys a vehicle with the one-year resale value in mind?

You can get the Regal GS (A trim above the turbo) with a 6 speed but not in combination with AWD. If you want the 6 speed then you only get FWD.

Despite their marketing, the lineup is still geared towards older clients. However, the Regal is a sporty option and the SUVs have some suburban housewife appeal.
