Replying to: lemko (Mar 19, 2009 10:18 am) Would that happen to a Buick? Nah. It's just well-broken in. Fix the oil leak and drive it. I couldn't believe the WunderKar brand that should go 500,000 miles with only oil changes would be worn out at 185,000 miles. My times have changed. |

Replying to: grbeck (Mar 20, 2009 7:58 am) I looked at the Taurus, but not real closely, since, as I recall, it was on a stand at the auto show. I'll look at it more carefully when I see one. It's easy for me to believe that the '10 Taurus is very nice, however. I'm disappointed, though, that roomy as it is, the 500/Taurus hasn't offered six-passenger seating as a choice, as the Impala, Avalon, and the '09 LaCrosse and/or Lucerne, do. I don't know if it's available for '10 in the Taurus or LaCrosse. It wouldn't be a deal breaker for me, since I rarely need six-passenger seating these days, but I think large cars like the Taurus, which will replace the Crown Vic for many, should at least offer this choice.

Yeah, I didn't know whether I was on solid ground when I included Avalon, but I didn't want to interrupt my email to look it up. Thanks for that update. I know there's no longer a high demand for six-passenger seating in a sedan, but as long as there's some demand from people who prefer sedans to minivans and SUVs, it would give the Taurus a competitive advantage over the Avalon. As it is, I prefer the Taurus to the Avalon, and think it's a better value proposition. Regarding the Taurus vs. LaCrosse, I'll have to see some 2010s on the road, and read some reviews, before deciding which of these two I prefer. At the moment they both seem competitive and appealing.

The Chinese are buying Buicks left and right. They actually rebage a Cobalt as a Buick and make loads of money over there. They sell a hatch-back and a Park Avenue over there and the Chinese cant get enough of them. Buick is to China what Mercedes is to US. An OK car with great brand name. What I want to know is what is happening to Saturn. Everywhere you go you here that Saturn is dead, yet you see commercials for them everywhere. They did not make a Sky coupe but they made a Solstice coupe. Is anyone buying them?
