2016 Buick Cascada Premium Review
My neighbor down the street, who has never had a thing to say about any of the 50 or so vehicles that rotate through my driveway each year, made it a point to stop and discuss the styling of the new Buick Cascada. “That’s one of the best looking cars I’ve ever seen!” he exclaimed from the driver’s seat of his Nissan Leaf.

This dynamite compact sedan will gleefully match any four door from Germany on a twisty road, despite costing half as much as the Audi A4, or BMW 3. How can it manage this feat with a base price of just $36,490?
Read More »2013 Buick Verano Turbo Review
Buick has had little to offer until the advent of this Verano Turbo, a sizzling rendition of their smallest sedan. This Verano makes the perfect choice for a family of 4, with sub-teen occupants in the back seat, and a couple of enthusiast drivers up front. The buy-in is certainly right at $29,000, because you’ll find yourself spending a lot more for comparable performance from Lexus, Acura or Nissan.

The best way to learn about a car’s aerodynamic efficiency is to wash it by hand. Does your sponge snag on trim? Does the car’s shape shed water or retain it? When I finished washing and drying this nifty little Buick sedan, I was impressed by the unimpeded flow of its skin, the cleanly sculpted face it presents to the wind

Buick Enclave Consumer Reviews Buick Enclave Specs By Twain Mein My grandparents always owned Buicks; they were GM’s high-end line that featured luxury without the pretense of Cadillac. I’ll never forget their gargantuan ’72 Estate wagon with its 8 mpg 455CI V-8 and rear window that would roll up into the roof, and the ’76 […]

One main improvement with the Super that absolutely won’t induce sleep is the 4.6L Northstar V-8 HP (High Performance). Nicklin’s team took the Northstar found in the Lucerne, swapped in more aggressive camshafts, tweaked it a bit, and managed to squeeze an extra 17 horses out for a grand total of 292. The Northstar has plenty of power to move the Super down the road, but what really is most intriguing about this engine is the song it sings. The exhaust note on the Super is what Hollywood sound engineers would drool over, a perfect candidate for “Full Throttle V-8″ movie overdubs.
