There is something called a used market, and if you removed all of the exterior styling as Kspraydad suggested, you would have yourself a bland looking B6 Passat. Which was available in the US.

The last time GM made an ‘X’ version wagon, it was awesome (and incidentally the opposite of everything you described).

They would have done that under the Pont...... oh wait.....

I support Buick. They are good cars in their class. I’m not a coupon value shopper, but also not a brand whore that needs an Audi badge on a crappy Jetta.

You’re likely looking at just swapping of badges to make it a Buick,if so you’ll be wanting a Buick.

If I wanted a Passat wagon I would have gotten that.

Sweep-spear is the correct term, and it has been a Buick signature styling element for decades.

This one is such a tough call. It appears to be a really well put together custom. I think the $10k is a bit much, but I could see someone paying near that asking price and not regret it. It’s more than I would pay, but not too far off.

PSA: Don’t buy a car from a seller that uses the word “dope”, and also doesn’t know the difference between “there” and “they’re”. Also, his piss-poor taste was probably also applied to maintenance/mods.

You’re kidding right?

You know, I don’t mind fake grills. I don’t like the new grilless look on tesla’s fleet.

I have never witnessed a competent driver driving a Prius. They are the people that need self driving cars more than anyone else.

I heard one time about a mechanic who accidentally got some brake fluid in his mouth, and realized he liked the taste. It started a little bit at a time, but a couple of weeks later, he was drinking four or five bottles a day, having developed a preference for DOT 3. His friends and coworkers held an intervention to…

Top Gear US’s problem was no chemistry with the host, bad script, and hosts that looked as if they where just reading from a cue card. The actual format and challenges weren’t that bad.

NH isn’t special. It’s the entire I-95 corridor. It’s just making the “news” here because it’s somewhat car-related.
