There are lots of things that can affect the NVH of an engine: bore and stroke dimensions, valve size and configuration, valvetrain design, intake and exhaust manifold design, engine block stiffness and configuration, component layout, choice of materials, machining tolerances, etc.
 
The GM 2.4 has a reputation for increased NVH over other large-displacement fours, and the GM direct injection system also has a reputation for NVH. Combine the two and it's not unexpected that the result might be contrary to the expectations of the remaining handful of Buick buyers.

If Buick can dampen the normal 4-cylinder drone and buzz, I think it might be an OK alternative for the folks who want an upscale car that gets decent mileage.
 
Can be done. Toyota has had a very smooth 4-cyl in their Camrys for years. Maybe GM could get a license from Toyota to build Toyota design engines and put in GM cars.

GM cannot simply get rid of a model, can they?
 
That's so Cavalier of GM.

Well, some people might Simmer-On that fact, but I think they deserve a Citation for it.

Well, as far a the "buzz" is concerned, I had a 4cyl. Cobalt LT and it never "buzzed". A very quiet 4 cylinder. Some of you should "drive" the vehicle before you criticize it!!! But as far as being in a Buick, I really can't evaluate the BUZZ until they actually come with it.

Some of these Buick puns can get very Special and be Super interesting in how some people will reach for the Sky (on a) Lark and have a mind like a (Sky)hawk to come up with a pun that will last for a Century. The Regal truth is that we're just back from the Riviera and I have work to do on the Estate since I am the Road(s)master here, I have mowing to do and can't Electra(fy) anyone with more puns. I'll have a Rendevouz with bad karma for these bad puns already and I'm out of Buick names.

Make sure you keep the Wildcat away from your stuffed LeSabre.
