Just did a 1 minute Photoshop to fix the tails. Can't believe Buick over extended the chrome strips. Could have looked much better like this.

Definitely looks better. Before it looked like it was frowning...

Leave it to GM to mess up something so obvious as disproportionate chrome trim.

For what it is..... i think it's well executed.

the problem was- how do you take the ugly cruze, and make it better looking....


tail lights look like bushy eyebrows

TRDFantasy

Basing it so closely off of the Cruze is the original problem. That in turn caused other problems.

Ok TDR. You're banned from using the emoticon for one whole week.

you can't do much with short cars. at 181", it's gotta look squished and tall to accommodate rear passenger headroom.

If automakers just stopped trying to cram a midsize car into a compact sedan's body, then we wouldn't have so many cars looking "squished". Certain automakers need to stop trying to make compact cars into something they're not.

I think Acura has that problem with the TL and RL too

Rear lights look comical. Minivan double A-pilars are nerdy. Decent interior. Buick should be going upscale, not downscale.

Smaller than the Camry and with a direct injected 4 cylinder, yet it doesn't get the mileage that a Camry does...GM's 2.4L does not appear to be where it's at. Shoulda done a 1.4L turbo with eAssist.

The standard features list is filled with items such as 18-inch forged alloy wheels, a 7-inch LED touchscreen in the center stack, the Buick IntelliLink system and a host of other products designed to make your commute an enjoyable experience.
