Summer's Setting: The Buick Verano Says Adios (Quick Review)

From my throwback files: My tester 2013 Buick Verano. I stopped at my old elementary school to take pictures.

Following up my other recent posts on cars we’re saying goodbye to in the near future, here’s another odd departure in my book: The Buick Verano. The smallest Buick currently on sale in the United States, the Verano was introduced in the 2012 model year and filled a void in the brand’s lineup that was last occupied by the Skylark in the 90s. It looks as if there will be a 2017 model year Verano, although I imagine it’ll be an abbreviated run. Quick fun fact: “Verano” means “summer” in Spanish. So now, why do I think this is an odd decision that this model is being discontinued in North America? Because Buick’s sales figures haven’t been bad in recent years, and the Verano is selling especially well in Canada. The Verano’s sales did fall this year in the United States, while the compact Encore’s sales rose. Overall, Buick’s sales as a brand fell 5.45 percent through June 2016.

The "eyelash" chrome accents on the trunk seem to highlight the Buick logo on the trunk. I found the Mocha Bronze Metallic color on my tester with Cashmere leather to be a very nice combo. This model even had back-up sensors and a rear view camera. LED taillights would be nice, however.

I had a chance to test drive a new 2013 Verano, and I was satisfied (though not totally blown away) at the effort that was put into the car. Garber Buick in Saginaw, Michigan assisted me that day and has been excellent throughout the years with helping my family get the best deals possible on our new cars. I highly recommend them! My brown tester was fully loaded with everything, and had navigation, leather, blind-spot monitoring, push-button start, heated seats and steering wheel, Bose premium sound, and a sunroof. The car drove smoothly and was mostly quiet overall, just what you’d expect from a Buick. However, it wasn’t particularly sporty or quick, a stark contrast from Buick’s other somewhat-compact sedan offering, the Regal. Granted, my tester wasn’t the turbocharged model, which uses a version of the 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder that’s used in the Buick Regal. But rather, it had a decent (but noisy at high RPMs) 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that makes 180 horsepower and gets a little over 30 mpg highway.

Push button start was standard on this top-of-the-line Verano, as was navigation, heated seats, XM Radio, and a suite of other convenience features. It was a very luxurious, though cramped, environment.

Even turbo models don’t come with a sport-tuned suspension or any appearance upgrades besides a little red “T” on the trunk that lets you know you’re driving a special Verano. But rather, to satisfy those who want a little more “style” and “flare” in their compact Buick, the brand introduced a Sport Touring trim for the 2016 model year. Personally, I think it looks nice. However, if you’re looking for the Sport Touring specific styling treatments (such as blacked out rims, etc.) with the turbocharged engine, sorry… Not possible. Other impressions I had of the Verano was that while the interior was comfortable up front, the rear seat area was INCREDIBLY tight, even with the front seats moved forward. Trunk space was fine, although the rear end might look even more upscale by including LED stoplights and turn signals on higher trim levels. Same goes for the front end, which would look more upscale with the addition of LED running lights.

Setting Sail
So again, why do I think saying goodbye to the Verano is strange? Besides its sales numbers holding up well in Canada and Buick’s successful global resurgence, compact cars are very hot right now. And for years, the Verano has had a monopoly in its segment, as its next nearest competitor, the Acura ILX, doesn’t sell nearly as well as it does! I see these little Buicks all over, and I can literally go a few weeks without seeing any Acura ILXs on the road. You would think Buick would want to keep an asset like that in its lineup. Sure, you could argue the also-compact Encore SUV crossover is selling very well too. But I’m talking specifically about compact SEDANS for now. Additionally, a redesigned Verano is going on sale in China, and like most new Buicks, looks as if it’s going to be a very solid car. As I previously mentioned, in contrast to Canadian market figures, Buick’s sales in the U.S. fell some earlier this year. This puts Buick in somewhat of an ironic situation, because a new Verano could very possibly inject some new luxury spirit into a seemingly aging lineup.

The redesigned Chinese Buick Verano. Unfortunately, it appears as if we won't see it here in the United States.

Alas, this is all mainly based on my analysis of the situation. And based on my impression, the Verano is a decently luxurious and feature-packed sedan that should satisfy many buyers in its segment. What is your impression of the Verano and of the overall Buick lineup right now? Personally, Buick has become one of my favorites brands. It’ll be interesting to see if this model is replaced or brought back in the future after some redevelopment.

Degenerated: Hyundai's Genesis Coupe Axed

There's just something about a coupe. Too bad Hyundai's never captured its fair share of the market.

The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is no more. In case you're curious, there’s a couple of logical reasons as to why this sporty coupe was discontinued. For one, it was just lingering around in Hyundai’s lineup enjoying meager sales success. It never seemed to particularly impress anyone in the sports car world, despite the fact that it offered two solid engines: a turbo four-cylinder and a 3.8-liter V6, plus rear wheel drive. All that being said, however, it was a much more solid effort than Hyundai’s past sporty coupe offering, the Tiburon. One of my favorite YouTube car reviewers, SaabKyle04, actually owned one for a few years himself. So I wouldn’t fully fault someone for considering one, as you could likely get a great deal on one now, plus the added security of Hyundai’s strong 10-year warranty.

Another reason the Genesis Coupe is going away is because the Genesis brand is launching. For those that are unfamiliar with Genesis, this is Hyundai’s new luxury car brand. Selling the Genesis and Equus on the same lot as Accents and Elantras when their prices can top $60,000 sets up somewhat of a paradox for buyers, as some might not be used to seeing such expensive vehicles in a Hyundai showroom if they haven’t been near one in the last eight years. Thus, Hyundai Motor Company felt the need to spin-off the vehicles into their own cars. The Genesis sedan will become the G80, the flagship Equus will become the G90, and other models will follow in the coming years. By the year 2020, an all-new sports coupe, compact luxury sedan, and two SUVs are reported to all be in production under the Genesis brand. Until then, owners of the Genesis Coupe who want to upgrade will either have to shop around or wait until the new coupe is released.

The Genesis brand, by Hyundai Motor Company, will launch with the G80 and G90 sedans at first, but will expand over the next few years to include a more diverse portfolio. Hyundai's goal is to compete more effectively with brands such as Audi and Lexus, while giving customers more value per dollar at the same time.

Do you think this new Genesis brand will be successful? While startups traditionally have a mixed success rate, the Genesis brand is a very noble effort on Hyundai's part. Especially given the public’s overall reception of the standalone Genesis car in past years. Yet, I'm curious about how Genesis branded cars will be received long-term, as they’re still going to be sold at Hyundai dealerships for the time being. But these new cars are without a doubt sharp, so I'm looking forward to testing some myself in the future and seeing them on the roadways! Let me know what your thoughts are too.

Trending Up: Buick's Avenir

Buick recently announced that a new top-of-the-line trim level for their cars is coming. But it isn't Ultra, Super, or GS...

Are you familiar with GMC’s “Denali” line? Did you like Buick’s Avenir concept car from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show? If so, then you may be happy to hear that Buick intends to offer a new trim level of their cars called “Avenir” in the future. From what I understand, this new trim would be Buick’s equivalent of GMC’s Denali, or essentially, it would be what the “Ultra” trim level used to be in the early 2000s at Buick. These new high-end models would feature larger wheels, unique grilles, more premium features, and other upgrades to set them apart from other lower trim level Buicks.

Buick has consistently been one of the industry’s fastest growing brands, both domestically and internationally. Thus, it makes sense to me that executives would be looking for ways to continue this growth. Buick’s average buyer age is on the decline, and more individuals are coming from other brands to Buick showrooms. Buick also notes that more women are considering the brand’s cars, and that people who buy the Enclave usually choose the two highest trim levels: Leather and Premium. I think this is a smart strategy to further move Buick upmarket and make them a serious contender with key competitors such as Lexus.

When you look at the 2015 Avenir concept car, you can immediately see where Buick's upcoming models are pulling some of their inspiration from.

Buick has already implemented some of their recent concept car design cues, such as their revised 3D waterfall grille with a chrome bar going through it, into upcoming models (see the 2017 LaCrosse, already on sale in many places). Without a doubt, we’ll see other bits of these design cues make their way into other upcoming Buick models. In case you were wondering, the word “Avenir” is not simply a mashup of “avenue” and any other word. Rather, it actually means “future” in French. Personally, I think it would’ve been great to have seen the Avenir name used on a new flagship sedan placed above the LaCrosse in Buick’s lineup and the “Ultra” or “Super” names brought back as the top trim for models instead. But regardless, I’m sure that this 100+ year old brand’s future is plenty bright if they keep down their current track.

Pricing for the new Avenir trim level is not yet available.

3-in-1 = Automotive Fun: VW's Woes, Tesla Has The Keys, & Transformers

Darn Dirty Diesel

As part of a follow up to my previous 3-in-1 article, it appears as if Volkswagen’s diesel woes continue to plague the company’s forward progress. One lead engineer recently plead guilty to the company's emission charges, and now, this diesel crisis has apparently won the overall war. Well, at least in the U.S. market. Within the last couple weeks, the company that has become world-renowned for their “clean diesel” vehicles announced that they will be discontinuing all diesel models in the United States.

Now, this isn’t necessarily the most shocking thing ever, but it is a very slight surprise. Because as many of you may know, VW basically has (well… HAD) a monopoly on the diesel car market, to the point where they still have existing plans to produce diesels for the North American market thru the 2019 model year (pending some approval). However, beyond that point, VW says they’ll need to reevaluate their U.S. powertrain lineups. Hinrich Woebcken, CEO of WW America, has said that wherever diesel engines make sense for application, they will be used. However, as tor the USA, VW’s diesel push is done. And besides, emission regulations get stricter come 2019, so my guess is that we’re going to end up seeing fewer diesel powertrains in the industry overall. Plus, the company already owes dealers $1.2 billion in settlements, plans to implement a buyback of unfixable vehicles, as well as provide compensation to owners. However, many owners have stated they prefer buybacks to compensation. Not surprising, given that buyback totals could range from roughly $12,000 to $34,000 dollars!

Volkswagen still unnamed new three row crossover.

Starting this fall, VW’s efforts to refocus their lineup will really begin. The biggest buzz is all about their upcoming, still unnamed 7-passenger crossover. Its scheduled to launch early next year and will compete with the likes of the new 2017 GMC Acadia, Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, and other 7-passenger crossover vehicles. Additionally, there’s a new Tiguan-based small crossover that will come out. Fast forward even further to the 2020 model year, and VW plans to begin introducing electric vehicles and more hybrid technology to the U.S. to compensate for their diesel losses.

Will these upcoming models employ these new technologies effectively? Will Volkswagen ever be able to return to their former form following this crisis? All of these questions will likely have answers in the future. Read up on some more at the links below.

Tesla's Master Plan

Tesla is always up to something. And recently, Elon Musk announced that he has come up with a “master plan” for the brand moving forward. He intends to have Tesla become a renewable energy enterprise, meaning the brand will end up producing more than just electric cars. Musk intends to do this by expanding Tesla’s portfolio to solar products and services offered by SolarCity Corporation. This makes sense, as it was proposed that Tesla purchase SolarCity prior to this plan, and Elon Musk owns 22% of SolarCity’s shares. Now, Tesla is moving forward with plans to purchase SolarCity Corp. for $2.6 billion. As a result of this move, the combined companies can reach customers of both entities more effectively and offer customers solar panels, home battery storage systems, and electric cars under one umbrella. Tesla also expects achieve significant cost savings as a result of the merger, saving roughly $150 million in costs after the first full year of joint operations.

Under provisions of the deal, Tesla will have 93.5 percent ownership of both companies and SolarCity 6.5 percent. This deal should be completed sometime in the fourth quarter of business. Given how much money Tesla is burning through in order to launch the new Model 3 sedan and the recent investigation of the company’s Autopilot software, it seems as if this agreement couldn’t come at a better time. If all goes as planned, Tesla should be able to provide consumers with everything they need to “live a largely carbon-free lifestyle” according to Musk. You can find out more on this topic by following the link below. We shall see how this works out for both companies in due time. Until all is said and done, we can be sure of one thing: Tesla is staying on the offensive.

Transformers Assemble In Michigan!

Like cars? Like action movies? Do you live in Michigan? Then you might be excited to know that a rural portion of M-52 was closed recently to film for the next movie in the popular series, “Transformers: The Last Knight”. Many fans of the franchise gathered around to view a chase scene that was being taped, and both Bumblebee and Optimus Prime were visible at certain times. One of my coworkers at my internship in Webberville, Michigan actually showed me a picture of Optimus Prime sitting at a truck stop and going down the road! Can you imagine how surprised many people probably were to be sitting at a light and all of a sudden have Bumblebee or one of the other vehicles pull up next to them? Can you say, AWESOME???

Pictures taken by a coworker of mine from near the set of "Transformers: The Last Knight".

Optimus Prime in the flesh! Well... In the steel.

Now that next Transformers movie has completed filming in Detroit and along M-52 as well, the next stop will likely be Europe. Transformers released its first live-action movie in 2007, and is known for featuring some of the fanciest new rides of the time. In the upcoming film, the latest Chevrolet Camaro in Bright Yellow will be feature of course, but I can remember back when the Pontiac Solstice was featured as well in one of the earlier movies. Typically, a tax credit was offered to filmmakers to entice them to work in-state, but these credits were stopped last summer. Paramount Pictures will likely still receive some incentive, however, as will the automakers of featured cars. The movie stars Mark Wahlberg, Laura Haddock, Josh Duhamel, and Anthony Hopkins and is scheduled to be released in June 2017.

Are you a Transformers fan? If so, what’s your favorite movie, and also, what various cars are you looking forward to seeing in this new movie? While it may be too late to see the cars and actors here in Michigan, here’s a bright side: There’s less than a year until the new film releases!

America Remembers

I was in the 2nd grade when 9/11 happened. Its a day that changed the old and young alike. I pray that God continues to bless our nation.

A Bag of Recalls

A few of the models affected by the latest airbag recall from General Motors.

Well, another day, another set of recalls. No manufacturer is immune to them. This time, General Motors is at the center of this issue. Over 4.3 million vehicles, relatively new vehicles too, are being recalled due to an airbag defect. In a collision, the airbags in these affected models may not deploy. 

Although the probability of this event happening is rare, some deaths and injuries have been reported. But it’s very important to note: While this is GM’s largest recall of the year, this issue is COMPLETELY UNRELATED to the ongoing, massive Takata airbag recall. If you want to learn more about that recall, here’s a link to my prior article on it (Note! More vehicles have been added to the recall list since this was published): 

• http://www.adamsautos.org/2015/12/takata-airbag-recall-what-you-need-to.html

Here’s a list of affected vehicles for GM’s airbag recall:

• 2014-2016: Buick Lacrosse, Chevrolet SS, Chevrolet Spark EV
• 2014-2017: Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, GMC Sierra 1500
• 2015-2017: Chevrolet Tahoe & Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon & Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade & Escalade ESV

The fix for this issue is relatively simple and requires updating software in the sensing and diagnostic module that controls the deployment of airbags. No physical parts need to be replaced, which is good news for owners. My advice to all owners of these cars is to go get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible. As always, safety should never take a back seat. You can read some more on the recall at the link below. ROLL ON!

Summer Classic Car Show!

Hello again world! Its been a long and busy summer, but I feel so fortunate for all of the things I learned. My internship ended on an excellent note, and the same is true for my summer classes. After a much needed break and some down time, I'm ready for what my final two semesters of undergrad have in store for me! But before this final leg of my college journey begins, I have to update you all on some other things. 

This Summer '16, I had the opportunity to go to an auto show in my hometown at my favorite dealership, Garber Buick. My mother has purchased multiple cars from here, so the dealer is rather special to me and fond part of my childhood. While there, I saw some very interesting rides, and even got to see the new 2016 Buick Cascada. I'm posting some of them below. What's your favorite classic or rare car? Let me know what you think!

To me, nothing says "SURFS UP DUDE" more than the Volkswagen Bus! These ones were pretty beat up, but still looked very euro and defintely told a story of a past era. The more recent Volkswagen Routan minivan is certainly uncommon in its own regard, but also lacks the magic that these original vans had (especially since its a rebadged last-gen Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan).

Here we have a 1998 5th-generation (C5 Chevy Corvette). But this isn't just any ordinary Vette. Nope, this is the 1998 Indianapolis 500 Pace Car! I would've been 5 years old at the time of this event, so I don't recall it taking place. But I really thought that the deep blue and yellow paint was striking, and the pop-up headlights scream throwback! Now the rims... Well, those are definitely love it or hate it haha. But who doesn't love seeing a unique Corvette?

Behold, a shiny, customized 1980's Chevy Monte Carlo SS and a 1965-1970 Chevy Impala! Don't you just love classic American style? I particularly like how modern models draw inspiration from older designs. Between these two, the Impala was my favorite.

Here we have a lineup of cool classics, including another Corvette and a 1980's Mercedes-Benz SL convertible. The particular Mercedes you see here actually belongs to my good friend's uncle. Seeing it in a picture really does the car no justice, because its in such immaculate condition.

Here's one for the new and old car buffs: A couple of Pontiac Solstices. As you may know, the Solstice was one of the last Pontiacs. But what's so special about the red one pictured is that its a Solstice COUPE! That's an incredibly rare model, because it was only made for 2009 and only 1,266 manufactured! A guaranteed collectors items indeed.

At the end of this auto show, I had a chance to see the all-new 2016 Buick Cascada! A rebadged Opel Cascada, this Buick marks the return of a sporty convertible to Buick's lineup. In fact, its the first one in nearly 25 years. This light blue color looked awesome in the sunset, and the overall car looks solid. A 1.6 turbocharged engine is standard, and the Cascada is available in two trim levels. I hope to drive one for Adam's Autos in the future.

So again, what are you favorite cars from this show? What models would you like to see come back, or which ones hold the fondest memories for you? Oldsmobiles are some of my favorite older cars, especially since my mother has owned several models. Reminisce in the comments!

Howdy everyone! Here's a repost from Facebook, food for thought haha. More content coming later today.

Keeping It 200: Chrysler Delivers On Their Promise

Confirmed: The Chrysler 200 will end production in December of this year. The factory where its built at in Sterling Heights, Michigan will be retooled to build the upcoming redesigned Ram 1500 truck.

A part of me still questions this move, but official figures do say that Chrysler 200 sales are down. Way down.

http://www.autonews.com/article/20160726/OEM01/160729899/fca-earmarks-1-5-billion-to-build-ram-1500-pickups-at-chrysler-200?cciid=email-autonews-blast

Ding Dong, The Dart Is Dead

Just as quickly as it arrived, its now exiting stage left. 2016 will be the Dodge Dart's swan song.

In a past post, I mentioned how FCA was considering axing the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 sedans. And now, it's official. At least for the Dart anyways. 2016 will be the final model year for Dodge's compact sedan. For the second half of 2016, the Dart's lineup will be simplified to just 3 trim levels: SXT Sport, Turbo, and GT Sport. Customization options, a Dart trademark, will also be simplified and the dual-clutch transmission that was previously available will be gone too, all in an effort to make the Dart's transition to the big parking lot in the sky a little more comfortable.

Reviving a name from Dodge's past, the Dart was introduced in the 2013 model year as a replacement for the Caliber hatchback. FCA cites slow sales and a desire to want to focus more on crossovers, trucks, and SUVs moving forward as the reason the Dart is being put out to pasture. The related 200 sedan will likely meet a similar fate soon, although Sergio Marchionne has expressed some interest in keeping the 200 alive if another company will assist in producing it. 

The new 200 I've noticed has been a relatively good seller for Chrysler, despite not being "perfect" in its segment. If you want to find out more about this model, I tested the 200 awhile back and you'll be taken to my in-depth review on it by following the link below:

• http://www.adamsautos.org/2015/11/2015-chrysler-200-review.html

Will you miss the modern-day Dart? My impression of the car is that its relatively average overall. But then again, I see them on the road fairly often seems like, and discontinuing it (and potentially the 200 too) seems to be an odd move because this will leave Chrysler without any offerings in the compact OR mid-sized car segments. And those are two of the most competitive segments on the planet right now! An SRT-4 model of the Dart might have helped spice things up a little bit instead of simply offering "appearance package" options... But hindsight is always 20/20, right? We'll see how this move works out for the company moving forward.
