oh that's not fair, Buick drivers like my wife's grandmother drive it 60 miles per year.. no wonder they don't have problems.

I'm glad to see the RL is going well too. I wish they would publish what year/generation car those rankings refer to. For example the Lexus LS430 isn't the new one..

Buick...

Their cars are so quiet and numb and the drivers are so deaf and blind, they don't even know their car is falling apart

LMAO ... but way back my dad did have a Buick (forgot the name but it's huge) as we would haul stuff from Handy Andy all the time & it held up pretty well ...
