I'm truly confused what Buick is trying to be in terms of their brand image. It gives me a dying/forgotten brand vibe. To answer your question is this car worth $60k? No. Interior looks nice, but exterior doesn't say $60k design to me. I know it's bigger, but it looks too much like Envista.
In the 2010's when GM restructured, they positioned Buick as entry-lux... so the hierarchy was Chevy < GMC < Buick < Cadillac. The Enclave was their (large) midsize that shares platforms with the Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Cadillac XT6. It got weird when they imported the smaller Envista and Encore from China. Technically, they are fancy versions based on the Chevy Trax and Trailblazer, but they don't exactly scream entry-lux either. But yeah, Buick is supposed to be a step up from Chevy and GMC. Personally, I think $60k sound about right for the Avenir trim - but only because the Acadia Denali goes for about that much, and Buick is "supposed" to be positioned above GMC. But at the same time, GM needs to work harder at positioning Buick as 'entry-lux'. I don't think it quite caught on with the public, you know? (Saying this as a Buick owner.)
So what! A BMW x7 looks like a bigger x5. x5 looks like a bigger x3 and so on. Same for Mercedes, Porsche ,Audi . They all do it, but GM does it and suddenly it's a problem?!
They all do it, but BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes all target premium luxury customers while Buick targets low income to high income. Not saying GM in general, just Buick. GM also has so many brands that the boundaries were clearer back in the day of which brand targets who. It’s just confusing nowadays. Nobody says it’s a problem. This is basic Marketing. Brand positioning is important and people entitled to ask questions and compare, but please use a rational comps too so it makes more sense to compare.
Four banger turbo is not a good size engine for carrying a lot of passengers which is what this vehicle size is intended for. Painfully slow. 🤦♂️ And sounds horrible. 🤷♂️
no way in HELL would i give Gm any of my money 4cyl ... to pull this big passenger vehicle.. they never , never learn..........same interiors you find in the chevy/caddy/now buick there is no differential
Four-banger engine. No hybrid, so poor gas mileage. No way. I do not why GM keeps trying to revive a brand that’s been one foot in the grave for far too long.
Very nice. Wish it had a hybrid option.
The Enclave also has thicker side glass than the other two sister vehicles…fyi
Launch event on Portland? Noice

It’s not painful,y slow. A car from the 40’s is painfully slow, not this.
Is this model built in China like the Envision?
The rearview mirror looks upside down.
Show more of the vehicle than your face. That way you'll get more views and viewers get to see more of what they actually want to.
"Vehicle diversification ok"...Buick @60K not so much, but would request your review on the Audi RS_Q8
IF the Toyota And Nissan are worth it then yes. Fun fact, cars are expensive now.
These are so anonymous looking.may as well be a Kia.
It’s been to long my boi, everything ok?
Yeah all good! Just been busy with some travel and time off. Thanks for asking!
I’m still gonna watch the video but at 0:01 I can tell you the simple answer “no” 😂
0:00 lol had my at the thumbnail lol
6 months that black gloss will look like crap. 4 years and 4 cyl will blow.
60 grand plus for FWD. 65 PLUS FOR AWD. To much money it's not worth it
Buick, $60k, and “worth it” should never be used together.
Different times my boi
better than acura mdx
Maybe the styling and interior.. But not performance and drive experience. The MDX is v6.
Any one who buys this GM CUV over a Honda Pilot should see a neurosurgeon 🤣
But the pilot is ugly 😩

Come on man don’t put your girlfriend picture on cell phone home page 🤦♂️
And why not?
No its not
NO
Another Buick from China.
Four-banger engine. No hybrid, so poor gas mileage. No way. I do not why GM keeps trying to revive a brand that’s been one foot in the grave for far too long.
Because Buick is a luxury brand in china.
@@Sean__B Make the brand exclusive to China.
No Buick is with a penny let alone 60 grand. Yuck.
