Replying to: bigdaddycoats (Sep 25, 2004 1:40 pm) let us know how the GM vans do.

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

I don't think any vehicle over $20k should have wheel covers. My $15k Focus didn't have them. As far as the covers the Terraza had, they did look ok (better than the wheel covers on my brothers Camry)but I could still tell they were cheap plastic.

I hate the ones the pop off.   Some are bolted on and I bet a lot of people don't care much as long as they get those.   I'd just shop for a set of alloys anyway.   -juice
#1473 of 2869 Standard DVD ?? by samnoe Sep 28, 2004 (8:41 pm)
I read somewhere that the Buick version (if not all 4 of the vans) will have the DVD player as STANDARD (that means to me, paying standard another $1500).   Yikes! When will the manufacturers start realizing not to do this? Don't they know that many people do NOT want their kids watching DVD all day long? or that so many people don't want to pay for it? Or that many others want to buy their own aftermarket system??   I wrote it once in the Sienna board, and I will repeat it here once again: In my opinion, the following should always be stand-alone options in ANY minivan, regardless of trim model: 1) Navigation system; 2) DVD player; 3) leather seating; and 4) power sliding doors and power rear hatch (on minivans).   All of the 4 features above you can find thousands of people do NOT want them in their vehicle. So don't force it on them.
