For 2010, Buick sales were up 52 percent, the best performance of four survivors of GM brands, and, indeed, the best results of the brands sold in America, period.

Compact Buick

However, GM did not prevent its premium brand. Buick is located between Chevrolet and Cadillac, but it also targets the entry-level luxury car buyers who might consider the Audi A3, or other smaller models, the premium car segment, which will soon offer Buick Verano another option.

Buick Verano is based on the same platform as the compact Chevrolet Cruze, but unlike the past practice of cloning, GM, badge engineering will be odsutan.Pet Verano passengers will have a fresh grille, hood and other various external treatments unique to themselves. Below, many of the same surface found in the Cruze will be the Faithful, but the Buick will have a different and larger engine in the line, the same engine the standard Buick Regal.

Cabin Amenities

Typical Buick styling will be used, with leather seat options, wood and aluminum trim and Enhanced Sound System standard or available. Expect OnStar GPS navigation will be standard and XM satellite radio will be available.

as 10 air bags located in the Cruze will also be offered, emphasizing how much GM values ​​of safety in the C segment model. Anti-lock brakes, brake assist, traction control system, blind spot and collision warning intelligence of the other features likely to Verano.

A further division will be noted on the way Buick Verano rides, handles and how to keep the noise out. Indeed, the Buick is getting a lot of attention to their cars were still making good use of the latest sound insulation materials to control noise.

Buick renaissance

Buick rise is appropriate to its overwhelming success in China, where sales more times the number of Buicks out there but this is the case in the United States. Down the line, Buick Lucerne will probably be thrown out and the possible coupe or roadster could be brought in. Regardless of the Buick line is far different from what we saw in 2008 and earlier years, the premium brand is now considered to younger drivers.
