The Return of Buick 

Motor Trend's Latest Cover Spurs Excitment At Buffalo Buick Dealer

"Buick is Back!"  The cover of the latest Motor Trend magazine says it all.  With new models on the horizon, West Herr couldnt be happier with the momentum Buick is gaining. 

Motor Trend ran a comparison between the redesigned 2010 Buick Lacrosse and the 2010 Lexus ES350; the Lacrosse emerged as the overall winner.

 "This shows that we are introducing cars that merit the attention of auto enthusiasts, including the editors of Motor Trend," said John Schwegman, U.S. marketing vice president, Buick GMC.

Currently the 2010 Lacrosse is outselling it's predecessor threefold and it's safety ratings are some of the highest in the industry.

The Lacrosse has also earned great reviews and high praise for its multiple fuel-efficient options.  Aside from two fuel-saving V-6 engines, a new eco-friendly, direct inject Ecotec 2.4L four-cylinder engine will hit stores with the LaCrosse CX model this spring.

The 2011 Buick Regal is also being lauded by car experts everywhere.  Motor Trend Editor-in-Chief Angus Mackenzie says the Regal "is the first Buick in history with internationally chic sheetmetal and sophisticated road manners to match.”

"It is truly likely to appeal to young, affluent, trend-setting import buyers,” Mackenzie said. 

Available this spring, the 2011 Regal features a standard 2.4L Ecotec direct injected engine with anestimated 182 horsepower (136 kW).  Also available later this year is the 2.0L Ecotec turbocharged and direct injected engine rated at an estimated 220 horsepower (164 kW).

West Herr is proud to be Western New York's spot for the latest Buick products.  To test out the 2010 Lacrosse or find out more about the 2011 Regal's Buffalo launch, visit us online or come to our East Aurora location.
