I wish if I got one the dash would have nothing but the a/c, radio/cd/iPod etc. Drive modes and nothing else. Bet does this car come with navigation and screen standard?
This is one of the best overview/videos I have seen on the GS, or any Buick for that matter. It convinced me to buy it. Sorry not in Texas.. or else I would have come by :)
First off , great job doing this video . I'm a little unclear why this car is manual. I'm 6'7 looks like Buick left zero room in the back to even be close to comfortable . You sound like the other guy Kyle . Keep up the good work ...
Its nice that Cadillac Buick and Lincoln are adding beautiful styling cues of their European competitors but, I wish and would love for them to stop and create and All American styled luxury car like the beautiful days of yore and American cars were so distinctive and different from their european competitors.
I feel that this is a good contender in the luxury car market but not good enough to over power even Lincoln. If we're going to talk American luxury, still see ever growing numbers of Lincoln and Cadillacs old and even old/new mercury's if you count that as basic luxury versus Buicks old and new but obviously nowhere near the growing numbers of BMW and Audi.
I think for almost 40 Grand and with out great 0-60 or great Mpg and uses Premium gas I would serious consider so many other cars including the 300 C and Taurus SHO and Genesis 5.0 R SPEC. even a Audi A6 4 banger.
@engine47ff no i wasn't even born until the 90s lol. I meant that every 80s and newer Buick I've seen in my life has been automatic but I'm sure there are some exceptions. when I think of Buick, I think of stereotypical old lady cars like the early 2000s Century and Regal, which are all automatic.
This car is known in Europe as Opel Insignia. I have driven it and... I don't like it. I mean, the ride is really good, and the exterior is fantastic, but interior ruins whole car. There is simply to many buttons. It wouldn't be a problem, if they woud be placed properly on dashboard. And that is not a problem only for this car, but for whole GM new cars.
@Barcafanpl2 i know i always hated gm just because of there lack of build and shit like that but then i like gm because (buick) because of there comfortable ride
Fuck grandpa. That is too much of a car for him!

Great video. However, there are a few mistakes in your review:
-The Brembo brakes are four piston calipers in the front. Not six.
-The "heat extracting louvers" a.k.a. portholes in the hood are not functional.
-The OnStar subscription is for six months. Not a year.
-The vehicle does not lower at all when the Sport or GS button is pressed.
-Heated steering wheel is not offered as an option.

I wish GM just kept pontiac, but i think this buick and the camaro are as close as you can get to owning a 2012 pontiac.

Also too bad the vehicle is not at least RWD. Seems like torque steer could be an issue - but a great leap forward for Buick.
