  1. Dunno. Could you be any more homophobic? Doubt it.

  2.  @GG-pu8rt  IMHO, the NuLuxe is perfectly nice, but the leather is nicer. It feels more luxurious, and it has that divine leather smell.

  3. Probably to have a family resemblance to its sister model the Regal, which actually WAS the Opel Insignia.

  4. This car was discontinued for poor sales less than 6 months after he said it didn't appeal to a broad enough range of buyers. You may not like his "manliness," not that he should give a crap what you think about that, but history quickly proved him right and you wrong.

  5. Obsolete style, obsolete tech, milking a few last sales to old buyers based on brand equity built up by superior previous models.

  6. But you CAN get the pano roof on the Luxury and Ultra Luxury, which have nicer interiors and a better ride anyway. Reviewers like Savagegeese have said outright that the F Sport suspension makes no sense on this car because it spoils the creamy ride quality without the handling gains to justify it.

  7. Turns out you weren't alone.

  8. Thank you for this post. Unlike some of these others, at least you backed up your opinion with facts.

  9.  @johnhenry267  Another reason is that Buick has a history in China as a brand preferred long ago by diplomats.

  10. The GS drives better. Test drive the ES, and I mean at demanding speeds, before you switch.

  11.  @SIDVENOM  Legit point. FWD road manners don't compare to RWD or RWD-based AWD. The GS didn't sell well enough to survive, but we who care about road manners miss it.

  12.  @SIDVENOM  I'm no expert. But based on your own comment, a reason you'd sell is to get out of outdated tech, so the GS F won't scratch that itch. Aside from that, the IS is a much smaller car inside, so be sure you're comfortable with that before you trade.

  13. A lot of critics and even a lot of LS owners don't really love the LS. It's a massive car a foot longer, yet without a lot more room. Its gas mileage (on premium) and maneuverability in town are worse, and it's less reliable with much, much higher repair costs. You might be better off right where you are.

  14. As it turns out, not enough of them.

  15. Same price, same size, similar specs, same target audience.

  16.  @naveenthemachine  Yes, Naveen, we know from your countless previous Genesis fanboi posts. For the record, there is no G80 version that has even 400 HP, let alone 500. And everybody, including Genesis, is turning to SUVs because that's what buyers are buying.

  17. This comment is incredible. You rip this guy a new one in late 2022 for saying 4 years ago that this car was out of date, even though you know he was proven right when the car was discontinued for poor sales 5 MONTHS AFTER HE SAID IT. I think you just take personally that you're old and you think he's calling you out. Well, I'm old too. Get over it.

  18. Well, you got your way: Buick will no longer give him a car to test. Of course, they no longer have one to sell to anyone else in America, either. You can still book a trip to China for a test drive, though.

  19. Get the XTS. It's the same car.

  20. Yes, they did.

  21. You kinda have it backwards, I think. Chance are he will never buy it because it's a car that causes him to complain about it, not necessarily the other way around. He was interested enough to give it a full test drive, wasn't he?

  23. Actually, Hyundai had a car very much like this in the Azera, and that car died off from poor sales except in Asia, just like the LaCrosse did. So, I doubt it.

  24. And this is a stale half-true post.

  25. Clearly your theory was right, although in truth, no ES can match the better balance of the now-deceased AWD GS.
