Obvious poor GM attempt to try and steer sales from mainstream America. Where is the Riviera now? give me a break.
Took the words out of my mouth. When's the last time you saw a Riviera on the road. Yet our cars are still running, and looking good, at over 200k. Give me a break, buick

Sorry, guys, I know that video had to be a joke, but I can't stop thinking about it. I feel like going out and kicking somebody's *** just to calm down.

Value? I'll give you value! My SC spends less time in the shop than any car my parents/ grandparents/ friends/ aunts/ uncles cars could ever dream of! I think its pretty obvious why you don't see many Riviaras on the road still...they all died after 80k miles :P

Lexus for life.

I guess I have no choice but to sell my SC and start modding a Riviera..
Does Vertex do a bodykit for a Riviera??

I'm converted! All this time I thought my car felt like a La-Z-Boy on wheels and it turns out I was cramped!

That video comparison is a crap. The Riviera isn't the same class as the SC. Period. If everyone else thinks like the host, then no Corvette, Lambo or Ferrari are on the street. He can't compare between a bulky and ugly car to a sport tuned smooth shape like the SC. I just happened to sit in the 2004 Buick Sedan with near 100K miles and it bounces like crazy. That video is just for marketing and not honesty.

LOL!! If the Riviera is so good, how come I see way more SC's than Riviera's on the streets? Most of the time when I do see a Riviera is at pick-n-pull and usually the car remains untouched(not too many people have one).

I've seen many SC's at pick-n-pull so badly stripped that I can walk by it many times and not even know what kind of car it was until my brother points it out to me. Usually, only the shell is left!

Just shows that SC's are much better than Rivieras!

Default We're all stupid...

For buying out SC's... We COULD have bought a..... be...a...uti...f....ul.....? Buick Riviera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k9585vXrvs

Good old fashioned American "luxury" car company bias

I love how he complains about it being cramped in the driver's seat at 5'10" with the seat all the way forward I am 6'4" and am comfy as hell in my SC400.
