    If your only car is a Supra and you cannot afford anything else then you might be doing something wrong with your money.

    Passat was really spartan at 90's, horrible memories.

    Those wheels on that Supra, it should be a crime...

    Maybe they bought it for $500, 24 Hours of Lemons can teach you anything it would be a lot of weird cars can be cheap.

    24 Hours of LeMons.

    24 Hours of LeMans is an event where European gearheads pack their cars up, set up tents in France, meet other gearheads and maybe watch a race.

    A few even take part in the race.

    I know I fucked up early, that's why I edited it, even do you quoted the edited one.

    The truth is, very few of the cars competing in 24h of LeMons are actually $500. You can spend as much as you want on safety related items (tires, rollcages, etc.) There's no way of finding out that the cars were actually $500.

    It's not JUST a 90s car, it's even older. It wasn't even originally a hatch at first.

    True but they are at least less than $5000 dollars.

    I'm gonna be honest, the Regal is overrated and I personally think that they should bring back something similar someway to the Regal, which I decided... the Park Avenue.
    Although that name is probably gonna stand out and seem off, I'd like to see another sedan that isn't the Lacrosse or Regal, after they killed the Verano last year.

    Why? People in that price segment are now buying crossovers.

    The Regal is at least in the place where the most sales happen - the midsize segment, and the Verano is probably gone now because PSA demanded GM stop selling some Opel/Vauxhall rebadge, and GM decided to make that vehicle the Verano.

    To update Buick's line-up, they haven't made that much new models since... a few years ago. Also, it could stand out.
    (It doesn't have to be a Crossover, that would be the worse thing to turn the Park Avenue to AT ALL.)

    Are you trying to fool me, or just don't know yourself?

    The oldest Buick on sale is a 2013 model year debut, and a third of Buick's range is new for 2018.

    Well, as in NEW MODELS, not variants of the "damn*" same model or new generations.
    *Shadow the Hedgehog... nvm.

    A person who doesn't want to maintain his car doesn't deserve it.

    He made his money, he deserves to spend it as he likes.

    It's not like Supras are rare, they just cost as much as they were.

    I hope you can bring up your financial analysis that shows Buick's need to increase the model range size.

    They'll NEVER be rare, it flooded online markets in auctions or eBay.

    It's called repetitive, keep it up and it becomes boring or tiring.

    I just stated that the Verano died out ALREADY! Do you even read it, or just by-pass it?

    And I'm explaining that the Verano didn't die just because GM managers felt like it.

    Also, if I was the deciding guy in Buick, I'd say big sedans aren't really the way - I'd rather have the brand make a Regal-sized-and-based electric car, drawing much from the Volt's powertrain, to steal some Tesla customers, placing it in between the Model 3 and Model S.

    Cadillac would make a fullsize 7-seat "coupe crossover", because the pricing of such a vehicle would get would not necessarily suit the Buick name.

    That doesn't sound that bad of a idea.

    That'd be fine...
    But that's more likely to become a variant/package than a separate car. For example, Toyotas have hybrids that are MOST of the time, variants. The only exceptions are the Prius, and concepts.
    Also, "coupe crossover"? If you're talking about the XT-5, that's a CUV from what I know, which is pretty much the new SRX.

    The new nameplate would work as a "this ain't your grandpa's Buick" statement, for the same reason the Volt wasn't a Cruze variant.
