The Buick Enclave, which was NOT the vehicle the Tiger Woods was driving when he crashed Negligent, impaired, or just plain confused? Tiger Woods was seriously injured early Friday when he hit a fire hydrant and a tree near his Florida home, authorities said. The Florida Highway Patrol said the PGA star hit the fire hydrant and tree as he pulled out of his driveway in his 2009 Cadillac sport utility...
Filed under: SUV , Truck , Cadillac , Chevrolet , GM , GMC 2009 Cadillac Escalade Platinum - Click above for high-res image gallery The GMT900 platform is by far the highest volume chassis General Motors has here in the States, as it underpins the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Avalanche and Suburban, the Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV, and the GMC Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL. We never had any doubt that...
Dear Editor: In February of this year, I purchased 2009 Buick Enclave from Zubor Buick. Included in the options was a Bluetooth connection to my cell phone. It was immediately evident that when my phone paired, the GM system would lose connection each time the ignition was turned off. I was able to manually re-connect, only to find that even then, this connection would drop sometimes in the middle...
Enclave Initial sales have been very strong, with demand far exceeds production capacity, forcing GM to add a third shift at the plant in Delta Township. After the ratification of the new UAW labor contract, GM announced that the third shift will be reduced gradually in order to limit the supply of the Acadia and Enclave.

General Motors Company will shut down its plant in Delta Township, Mich. for one week starting Nov.2 as it faces “critical parts shortage.” The plant builds the GMC Acadia and the Buick Enclave crossovers. GM is also retooling to add production of the Chevrolet Traverse to the plant, reports Automotive News. The plant pumps out about [...]
We have been saying for long time (well, more like reporting on a bunch of rumors) that the latest Chinese Buick Regal will find its way to the North American market. GM recently confirmed that the Regal name will return - after a 6-year absence - as Buick's latest mid-size sedan. "The transformation of Buick began with our luxury crossover, the Buick Enclave and continued this year with the launch...
DETROIT — General Motors Co. will go to 24-hour operations at factories in Kansas, Michigan and Indiana to handle an expected increase in demand and to make up for production lost from a large-scale factory consolidation announced earlier in the year. The automaker says it will add a third shift at its Fairfax plant in Kansas City, Kan., in January. That will be followed in March or April by...
When GM released the Chevrolet Traverse, it ended speculation about the American automaker’s ability to stay on the “no badge engineering” band wagon. The CUV is a lightly-disguised fourth iteration of GM’s Lambda-platformed mini-behemoths, appearing after the GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and Saturn Outlook. Equally important, the Traverse hailed from GM’s Spring Hill, Tennessee...
I've said this before, I think Buick is going to be GM's best brand moving forward. The company's new designs are eye-catching and if the 2010 LaCrosse sedan delivers anywhere near what it looks like Buick will have a hit on its hands. Now, the company is announcing that GM's plug-in hybrid technology will be introduced in a new Buick crossover vehicle in 2011. The nameless car, for now, will launch...
Confirming a report we brought you last month, General Motors Corp. says that its Buick lineup will, indeed, get a new plug-in hybrid crossover in 2011. ---------- "Teaser" photo from GM provides a taste of Buick Plug-In's styling. (Clck to enlarge.) ---------- Speaking at a gathering this morning of auto industry executives, suppliers, analysts and and media in upstate Michigan, GM product...
After abandoning leases when the economy swooned last year, General Motors is dipping its toes back in the water. In a pilot program expected to run through August, the company will offer leases through U.S. Bank on the 2009 Cadillac CTS, and Chevrolet Malibu and Traverse, as well as on the 2010 Buick Enclave and LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox, and GMC Acadia. Except for the SRX, the leases...
General motors reported a sales drop of 19 percent for the month of July compared to the same period last year. As bad as it looks, a 19% decline looks fairly good compared to the 35 percent decline GM realized for the first half of 2009. Chevrolet was GM's top performing brand (mainly because of the brisk launch of its 2010 Equinox) with a sale drop of only -9 percent. It sold 124,948 vehicles compared...
Understatement of the Year: It's been a rough 2009 for General Motors. The 101 year-old automaker lost billions of dollars in record time, its market share plummeted, and overall sales were down over 30%. Oh, and the General had to ask for billions in loans from the US government before ultimately going through bankruptcy. A bad year indeed. The fact that GM went through these tumultuous times without...
