  • 2016 Buick Envision

    Buick’s made-in-China Envision crossover SUV goes on sale this summer. It arrives as a 2016 model and only in two well-equipped but pricey options.

Above this is the Envision Premium II at $45,635. Crucially, both figures are well above the $39,990 starting price of the related Cadillac XT5.

    Buick says China is why it may not build Avista

    Buick's global brand chief Duncan Aldred told Automotive News that the Avista Concept is probably not right for the brand's biggest market, China, and that's a blow to those hoping for a production version of the sexy coupe in the United States.

  • 2017 Buick Enclave Sport Touring Edition

    Buick now offers Sport Touring versions of nearly every model it makes. It started with the Encore, then jumped to the Regal, Verano, and LaCrosse. Apparently wanting to complete the set, Buick is now offering a similar treatment on the Enclave. Like the other models, the 2017 Buick Enclave Sport Touring Edition gets some cosmetic tweaks, but little else. Debuting at the 2016 New York Auto Show next week, its main distinguishing features are a Satin Black Ice grille and 20-inch wheels, also finished in Satin Black Ice. That means it reaches the fairly low bar set by the Regal, Verano, and...

    Buick Won’t Build Avenir... But Doesn’t Rule Out Avista

    Buick’s Avenir concept was a unanimous hit at its debut at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show but that doesn’t mean we’re going to see a production version. The simple reason is that the large sedan segment is on the decline and Buick already has the LaCrosse to satisfy what demand...
