Default New Buick Enclave Production Pictures Released (pg. 3)

The upcoming Buick Enclave. The design really hits home. It's a very American looking design, both, on the outside and the inside, and very luxurious. (center console still needs work though)

Why couldn't they make their Cadillacs interiors look like this? I still can't believe how cheap and tacky some Cadillac interiors are.

on the third pic is there any room for any cargo in the back, the 3rd row seats are in the way.

Looking really good, im impressed but they spammed to much wood in the front

Is it me or does the front look like the SC430's front?

Yes, it's nice-looking inside, but what Buick really needs is to get out out the soccer-mom minivan buisness and get back to what it does best......BIG, ostentatious, RWD, quiet, smooth-riding V8 sedans like the Electra, Roadmaster, and Wildcat of decades ago.

wow the interior. It's the first buick interior that I'd actually want.

Front end could use some work, mainly the headlights. It looks too much like a bug.

WOW, I am completely shocked. Im really digging that interior. Those guages look very attractive. The wood aluminum and leather on top of the dashboard is quite a great combination. GM is really trying to improve on its interiors. This is a step in the right direction.

Not all that crazy about the exterior, but its better than the Rendevous. Front end looks just like that concept car they had a few years back.

I agree 100% and I hope Americans give it a chance. It seems Americans will buy ANY import no matter how crappy it truly is.

I saw this at the Auto Show, it is a PIECE of WORK! Very impressive inside and out. I mean they took their time and I truly think they got it right.

No joke, a BUICK I could ROCK

seems like they had a Lexus interior designer help them out....look at how much wood trim they put inside.

Check out that dashboard.

Remember guys, this is still just the concept. Now we'll have to wait and see if Buick actually delivers. They need to retain this design and maintain material quality and fit and finish.

Yes, it does look impressive and I could rock it just with it's looks. Interior looks nice as well. The only thing left is performance and reliability, if it holds then I'm sold...

Looks pretty nice in the inside, but where do you put your cargo?? Front end needs some work.
