Hey, if the Honda was $32k I wouldn't have bought it either! :o)   That's just more than I'm willing to spend, even if I can afford it.   Also, I guess a lot of folks drive theirs into the ground, and in that case residuals hardly even matter.   -juice

I'd rather have eight grand now- think of the christmas gifts I could buy!
#1463 of 2869 saw one by bigdaddycoats Sep 25, 2004 (1:40 pm)
I got to see a SV6 up close today. Someone on my sons soccer team is driving one. I have to admit it looks pretty good. The front end definatley makes it look more like a SUV. It was a gold colored model (sedona beige) with the chrome wheels. The interior looks very nice. Executed much better than the current vans. Fit and finish seem very good and the materials used are much improved. Not as good as the Honda or Toyota but better than the Ford rehash. I think they will do ok - especially when the massive incentives kick in. I am going to try and drive it this week - will let everyone know my impressions.

Let us know.   I find many new vehicles look better in person than on a computer screen.

When will the new vans arrive to the dealers?
#1467 of 2869 by vanman1 Sep 27, 2004 (6:51 pm)
I think early November
#1468 of 2869 Saw another by bigdaddycoats Sep 28, 2004 (4:36 am)
Saw a Terraza at the post office this morning. Looked pretty good, except it had wheel covers (looked just like the ones from the Rendezvous). What the heck are they thinking?? Any vehicle that starts in the high 20's needs real wheels, not plastic covers. Especially if Buick is trying to be an american Lexus.   I really need to get a digital camera.
#1469 of 2869 actually... by dan165 Sep 28, 2004 (5:17 am)
I saw a base BMW 3-series with plastic wheel covers the other day so I guess it's not unheard of in the "luxury brand" arena. That said, Buick should not go there. I think the LaCrosse with have covers on the base model also.

Lutz warned us he'd do that. Basically he wanted to cut some costs for things that he thought customers would not notice, like seldom-used gadgets and thicker carpets.   That flies in the face of Buick's strategy, though. You can't cut costs and compete with Lexus, you have to add content.   Toyota could cut costs, because that only made room for Lexus to come in and basically offer those things Toyota was cutting.   I don't think Bimmers have come with wheel covers for a while. You probably saw a decade old 318i, something like that.   -juice
