  • Crash testing the Buick Verano

    To Buick, size should have little to do with vehicle safety. Its smallest sedan, the Verano, recently earned a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), which means that every model in the current Buick lineup is a 2012 IIHS Top Safety Pick. To earn the Top Safety Pick designation, a vehicle must score a rating of “good” in four separate tests, including frontal impact, side impact, rollover and rear impact head and neck protection. In addition, the vehicle must include electronic stability control, which is now required by the federal...

  • 2012 Buick Verano

    The upcoming 2012 Buick Verano may be based on the same platform underpinning the humble Chevrolet Cruze, but its maker boasts the car will offer one of the quietest cabins on the market when it hits showrooms towards the end of the year. That’s certainly a plus in the luxury sedan segment, and importantly, the Verano is claimed to be quieter than key competitors such as the Lexus IS 250 and Acura TSX. The key is the installation of a dozen noise-reducing and noise-cancelling technologies throughout the Verano’s body structure, something you typically find in much more expensive...
