I never said it was better. I said "Cobalt SS will run circles around the current crop of
Buicks. In performance and looks."
The slight decrease in the age of Buick ownership is an anomaly and at 65
it's right where the baby boomer market is. 1946- 1964. It's will be increasing again if they don't start building something that the non 65 yearolds will drive .

While driving a Cobalt, Karl Stracke, vice president of global vehicle engineering, was blunt: "Look at this car, it's horrible. How did this get through so many people."

The Lambda crossovers are perfect examples of platform sharing, NOT rebadging. You cannot lift the front grille off an Enclave and install it on an Acadia. You cannot lift the front grille off an Acadia and install it on a Traverse. All three are designed to fit in with their own brands.
Just because a car is fast doesn't make it a good car. The LaCrosse and Regal may be slower than a Cobalt but both still annihilate it in terms of design and quality.

Yeah, the decrease in Buick's average age is an anomaly. Keep grasping at straws.
