NICE ENOUGH TO MAKE HEMMINGS MAGAZINE 2/1/2010PLUS IT COMES WITH ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL PAPER WORK INCLUDING THE WINDOW STICKER. LOOKS GREAT RUNS GREAT NEEDS NOTHING ! Feature Article from Hemmings Motor NewsFebruary, 2010 - Tucked in among the bumper crop of offerings at the 2009 AACA Fall Meet was this colonnade: Buick's 1973 Gran Sport. Rarely seen and often underappreciated, a properly equipped Gran Sport (that is the official name; the GS designation was dropped after 1972) was still a viable muscle car in a very unmuscular automotive world. To get there, however, you had to move further down the option chart since the Gran Sport package was relegated to a trim level. Its base two-barrel, 350-cu.in. V-8 could have been swapped out for a four-barrel 350, a 455 or the high-demand 455 Stage 1; the M-21 four-speed was also offered, but the Stage 1 mandated the Turbo 400 automatic.
The seller of this particular example provided onlookers with the original dealer order sheet that listed 21 options, including the 190hp four-barrel 350 ($46); custom paint ($113); vinyl top ($84); dual exhaust ($30); chrome wheels ($92); whitewalls ($32); air conditioning ($397); GS package ($173). In all, the 21 options added $1,689 to the base Century's $3,130.45 sticker.
Said sticker aside, we did one quick lap around the find, anticipating the discovery of rust, as is often the case with 1970s metal. What we instead found was nothing but very presentable paint over seemingly original body panels. The same could be said of the interior, which, viewed through locked doors looked nearly blemish-free. In fact, it actually looked as though it was an as-advertised low-mileage car.
And there we stood, staring lustfully at a fine example of posh performance. Dreams of endless, empty highway flashed past with the faint sound of Flint's more fuel-efficient 350 singing its wide-open gospel. Whether or not anyone actually jumped at the chance to pilot this big-bumper Buick off the Hershey Park grounds is unknown to us.

Buick Envision to go on sale in third quarter of 2015
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Following an earlier concept and successive teasers, Buick revealed the new Envision crossover a little over a month ago. The thing is, it was launched in China, for China. The question, then, is whether it will make the jump to the North American market. And the answer is: quite possibly.
According to division sales chief Duncan Aldred in speaking to Edmunds, Buick is looking into the prospect of bringing the Envision to the US: "We can't confirm anything, but clearly it is a very nicely designed and executed product that is very much a Buick," said Aldred.
If and when the compact crossover would appear in US showrooms, it would slot in between the smaller Encore and the larger Enclave. It would likely be offered in front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and mild hybrid configurations. Sources expect it to arrive in the third quarter of 2015 as a competitor to the likes of the Mercedes GLA, Lexus NX and Lincoln MKC.
NHTSA may greatly expand GM airbag recall
Wed, 05 Jun 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is pondering whether to dramatically upscale a pair of airbag recalls on General Motors vehicles. The two existing campaigns, one launched in the fall of 2012 and the other in January of this year covered just 6,845 vehicles, but the government agency is considering whether to boost the recall to around 400,000 units.
The existing recalls involve the the closely related 2012 Buick Verano (shown) and Chevrolet Cruze sedans, along with Sonic and Camaro models. The root of the problem is a shorting bar in the inflator module of the steering-wheel-mounted airbag that may contact the primary state airbag terminal, a condition that could prevent deployment in an accident. Dealer technicians have been replacing the steering wheel airbag coils to fix the issue.
According to a post on NHTSA's website, the root cause, said to be a production issue, may not have been completely isolated - particularly for the second recall, which was for the Camaro. According to Automotive News, GM says it is cooperating with the government investigation, but won't say whether or not it knows the true origin of the problem.
GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
