Default Buick Enclave

I'm very impressed with what I see from the Detroit pics of the Buick Enclave: http://www.autoweek.com/files/specials/200...ve/pages/01.htm. Looks like GM may be finally getting it's act together with a no exucses car (other than the Vette and perhaps some Caddys). Let's hope so. It's in no one's best interest for the General to go down. This would be a great replacement for the Mrs.'s FX35 (which is fantastic car with limited cargo space), but I have about as much of a chance of getting her to the Buick dealer as I do of finding a tree in my back yard growing $20 bills. Therein may lie Buick's biggest challenge...

One of the best looking vehicles from GM in a while. If the interior is as nice as indicated, it could be a winner, especially around that price point.

thats a face only a mother could love.

But then some people buy "interesting" looking cars.

This is one of those Love/Hate deals.

BTW I think they should make the headlights even bigger b/c they don't take up the entire front end yet.

I like it a LOT. My wife wants an FX (whenever we get around to affording a $35K second car) but this is pretty nice as well. The incentives should be huge on it, if you wait long enough.

Overall, I give it a big . Any pics of the interior?

I don't expect the third row of captains chairs to make it but I do like the thing. I don't think it looks as sporty as the FX but the extra cargo space would be welcome. The headlights are a bit big but beyond that I think it's possibly the best looking softroader I've seen.
