I think Buick of all brands sells a liftback Regal. I'm sure the take rate is strong.

Yeah that's the Insignia. If they're still selling it it won't be for long, GM sold that part of the operation off to PSA E. According to Wikipedia there was no Regal sedan for North America in that last generation - sedan was China only. dissss fucked around with this message at 20:33 on May 28, 2020 |

based on those counts i'm guessing everything after March 2018 in the US is quarterly fleet allocations

Maybe this bizzaro world 2020 will give us a totally amazing new Z car.

dissss posted:They tried that with the Insignia/Commodore and Mondeo (both were liftback/wagon only for Australia and New Zealand) and no one bought them. No one is buying sedans either so it seems like a no brainer to at least give them some extra utility.

Toyota and Honda still manage some significant numbers with normal sedans. If you're looking for utility I don't see a lift back making much difference, most people would still skip straight to a CUV anyway.

Mr. Apollo posted:That's really surprising. I'm sure there are a lot of them out there but I can't remember the last time I saw one on the road. I see GM and Chevy crossovers a lot but not Buicks. This is probably a regional thing, when I moved to the midwest from the east coast all of a sudden there were buicks everywhere

Endymion FRS MK1 posted:Definitely agree. Going from a Fiesta hatch to my Volt, I get the space and ease of the hatch with sedan styling. It's so easy to shove stuff in there Yeah, I finally have space to store my winter tires at home, so getting them swapped off this time I had the dealer put them in the back of the Golf, and honestly I thought it would be tight but it totally wasn't. Like, tons of room without even putting both seats down. Fuckin' thing is huge, who needs a bitch rear end crossover? Also it handles absolutely beautifully on summer tires, I missed it so much. And before anyone says "May 28th is very late to do the swap," going to get the tires swapped was the second time I driven it since March 17th due to the lockdown and also our last snowfall was earlier this month, so I think it was a reasonable choice.

Buick is huge in China, I see them all over the place, mostly in sedan form. Sometimes I wonder if that’s what’s keeping them profitable, I don’t see them much down here in Texas.

I’m of two minds. I like liftbacks for their utility and I think a lot of them look great (RS7 if I had my choice), but I’m also a big sedan die hard. I just like the stance of a well designed sedan. Not however, the weird US habit of turning perfectly good small hatchbacks into baby sedans like Focus, the weird Toyota Mazda 2 whatever thing. I do like the stance of the RS3 sedan, but why would I buy it over the hatch.

Saw a new Hyundai Sonata today. It looks huge even though it's called mid size. Looks like they were going for Mercedes like styling too. I didn't get a long look at it though.

I drove that car nearly 10/10ths on every backroad and while it had hustle, I never got into arrested territory. There's no bullshit drive modes, turning off traction just turns everything off, the interior is honestly 90s reminiscent, it was dirt cheap to maintain and it genuinely was the best affordable + comfortable 2 seater I've owned. I've actually been looking at buying another one now, especially with every new car I've driven so far has been very, very fast but I just felt no thrill because pushing it meant that my license gets revoked. If this is anything like the spirit of the Z, I'm all in.
