THE Colorado zr2 ,blazer and Silverado are nice. But I dont think I'd buy one.
The SS sedan with the 8 speed transmission and updated looks could've been a hit. But you know, GM. Similar to Nisssn in their thinking but Nissan fails on a higher level.

I rented a Cadillac XTS(?) the other week, and I kinda see the comparison, especially to the Infinti FX I was driving before.
In some ways, both are kinda nice inside. Accented lights and details, clean layout at first glance, some decent materials...and then when actually using the UI, it felt sloppy. The instrument cluster was visibly out of date. Somethings were just more nice on the surface than anything. Drove ok but was vague. The tire noise was a surprise for what's supposed to be a luxury car. It drove ok, but not like near-$50 grand ok.
I think in GM's case, this is probably telling that they should just have one luxury brand in Cadillac as that seems more prominent — and I'm sorry to say that as Buick has had quite an extensive history. Supposedly Buick's biggest consumer market is China. It's an unfortunate sign of the times. I'm thinking GM is probably spread thin in creating well-invested thought across every brand and line.
And don't get me started on GM commercials. "No DiS iS mY bUicK", and the freakin cartoon guy a few years back.
