That is one sweet Buick as well. To the dealer I go for a test drive for the fun of it. To bad we didn't get the AWD 300+ HP one they have in Europe though. Damn though a load Turbo GS 6MT, optional 20s, navi, and a sunroof is $37k + fees + taxes. That is with $1500 off right now. $38,500 seems a little high for a Buick right now. To bad they didn't price it at like $35k with all that stuff.

Good commercial.

Never thought I'd say a Buick was kinda sexy.

If you load it up with all the fancy stuff, it could look like that with the wheels and appearance. Not sure about the ride height though, as it does look a little too "perfect"...

Can't be 100% sure of that one. Now, if it was parked in the kitchen...

in the past 2 odd years the American car makes have woken up !!!

the new Ford Edge (interiors) is amazing....people who have seen the LCD screen and the changing LED colors and stuff will agree....

Chevy is doing great things...Camaro/Corvette...Volt is also a good car

The new Dodge line up is looking great

Buick has stepped up the game

Chrysler is redefined....

Honda/Acura better wake up and double step else pretty soon their sales will be doing down....

I agree with you swoosh...but unfortunately, their pricetags have also gone up quite a bit too. So unless reliability, interior, gas mileage etc...ALL go up consistently I don't think there will be anything to worry about.

Blanket statement, obviously...there are exceptions.

American companies are designing and engineering these cars in europe by europeans and testing at the nurburgring etc. Same with the caddy cts-v, ford focus etc. That is why american cars are getting better cause we aren't designing them anymore.

Its like bruins fans chanting usa after their team wins and talk trash to canadians, even tho the bruins team is almost all canadian players.

Good commercial, nice car too.

If we're talking GM commercials, this has to be my favorite:

Great ad! "You took my car again, didn't you?"

Wow, that car actually looks pretty good. Just priced the Regal GS with 6MT and it came out to around $37K. Might have to see how the interior fares in person.

i love honda/acura but i just dont see anything in their current lineup or anything in the future that will keep me hanging around. The TL-S will be getting swapped out in the next 2 years and the CTS-V or M3 Sedan looks to be the next step. They need to bring back a true type-s with better performance numbers than the 3rd gen for me to consider it. until then... goodbye acura, its been a fun ride. Still love my UA7 though.

I just checked out the Buick website and they emphasize how the 2.0 turbo produce more torque than an Acura TSX V6. But, the car does 0-60 slower than a TSX V6. LOL Motortrend recorded 5.9 seconds for a TSX V6 and 6.3 seconds for a GS.
