I guess the biggest reason for buying the Sub/Yukon is if you need real truck off road ness (contractors, etc.) and/or real large towing capability. I see many of the families at my school replacing their suburbans with the Lambdas. Must be something good about them since they are everywhere. Just do not expect them to double your mpg from the Suburban. But you will never see the Sub's go away. There is still a market for them. |

Replying to: cooterbfd (Nov 29, 2008 1:23 pm) The engine might fit, but GM doesn't have an FWD tranny that can handle the torque. |

Replying to: cooterbfd (Nov 29, 2008 4:10 pm) Sorry, couldn't resist.  And from what I've heard, Buick has actually been trying to get out of the habit of flooding the rental fleets.

Replying to: andre1969 (Nov 29, 2008 4:14 pm) Very good point. The sales are retail only so if the sedans are 1/2 fleet then that really changes my calcs but in the end the average buyer for Buick retail is still 55. Fleet sales of Buick is way down but surely who knows with what has been happening lately. Perhaps the rentals are not even buying now due to lack of credit? |

Replying to: m4d_cow (Nov 29, 2008 11:41 am) Suburban incompetent? What are you talking about? One of the best vehicles on the market if you need a real hauler. Monte Carlo has been gone a couple years now. SRX was a great vehicle but just never had a real segment with volume. C&D 10 best vehicle. It is gone though with a more traditional SUV/CUV type vehicle replacing it. Hummer is up for sale and will be gone soon. "Traverse's 14 mpg will scare buyers off faster than Osama in downtown NY," Traverse will sell like mad as do the rest of the Lambdas. |
