"Versatility Has Found its Style" proclaims a large banner across the Envision's page on Buick's website. Yes, that's right, they still make Buicks!

The page goes on to cover the Envision's exceptional qualities, including one section titled: "A HIGHER LEVEL OF REFINEMENT," that has this to say about the Envision: "From its unmistakable Buick grille to its sculpted rear profile, one …

Still got that problem with the make going to "None" in the title tags.

I have to wonder what that drivetrain could do in something much lighter, like a Citation X11.

That may just be the most generic looking smallish crossover yet.

Buicks have not been known for cutting edge styling.. for about as long as I have been alive. They were the cars for people who wanted some luxury without paying for it. Every buick I have driven was a "nice car", that was all I could say about them.

We looked at the larger Buick thing before we bought the CX-9.  Interior was nice, styling was okay, roomy enough.  In the end, value and my general lack of fondness for GM removed it from consideration.

Utterly bland. Yet the same company also makes this, which I find pretty fetching:

My UAW retired father-in-law went to look at one two years ago - $199/month lease with a down payment and taxes, title.  I go with to help.  

Hey, it says on the sticker most of it’s made in China.  UAW guy is 81 years old and doesn’t care any more.  

Its not a Buick to him - he traded in his 15 year old LeSabre.  Rides rough but you bought an SUV?  I was also shocked at he $41,000 price.

Got one as a company car. Always liked Buicks including a 71 GS convert and a 66 Electra.Nice enough vehicle. Two days later I was rear ended hard by a lifted pickup. Car was a total loss. Five months later I can still feel where the seat hit me in the middle of my back among other effects including a really nasty concussion. I feel much safer commuting in a Tahoe now.

Well said. That wagon they can't sell is the best looking product they've made in a very very long time

Around here, Encores are the cheapy lease deals pushed by Buick and they are everywhere. It's hard to tell the Envision from an Encore unless they were sitting next to each other. A co-worker recently leased an Encore. I asked her what kind of vehicle she leased and she responded, "I don't know, it's silver". 'Nuff said.
