February 20, 200620 yr http://www.autoweek.com/apps/pbcs.dll/arti...1/LONGTERMTESTS Whoah... first we hear the `08 LaCrosse Super is coming out in `07, now this? COOL I was getting worried we were going to have a dull year! I'm VERY anxious to see production versions of both vehicles.
February 20, 200620 yr That's odd. At the autoshow yesterday yesterday they said it would be in showrooms as a production model in about 18 months.
February 20, 200620 yr Author I know, I read that, too. I think those car show models are given a standard line and they aren't really in the know.
February 20, 200620 yr I know, I read that, too. I think those car show models are given a standard line and they aren't really in the know. gee, ya think?
February 20, 200620 yr The article says "starts production in fall" and usually they start production a few months before they sell it (aka- put it in the showroom)... so I would say we will start seeing it in showrooms 12 to 14 months from now, not necessarily the whole 18 but thats a safe-bet in case something is held up... which usually something is at GM.
February 20, 200620 yr At least we know what the G5 will look like. GM/Buick has to nail the production version of the Enclave. I am not expecting to see the entire concept come to life but most of it, yes sir.
February 20, 200620 yr I believe the reorganization of Lambda launches is recent news.....or it's just being revealed to us. Ah-ha talked about it on his site, stating the launch dates are now all within two months of each other. Saturn and GMC will start production first, then Buick. What does this mean? Good news. Buick needs Enclave like men need women, lots. And GM needs all the good car launches they can get this year, so it's definitely good news. And we will see the car on the streets either the late late part of this year, or early early part of next year.
February 20, 200620 yr So the Enclave would be out early next year? Good. And this fall would see the Outlook and then the Acadia.
February 20, 200620 yr Author Depends...the Lucerne started production in mid-October and hit showrooms in December.
February 21, 200620 yr They do have a plan, and it seems to be coming on faster than it used too. It's nice to see GM move at a faster pace than they used to on all fronts. Now if they could just reduce their timeline another 6 months.
February 21, 200620 yr This time I'm pleasantly surprised by GM. It will be a good year for Buick after all.
