Everyone knows the Buick Regal was quite the hot seller in the late 1970s, but after the model's death in 1997, some were skeptical about its reappearance a few years ago. How could a car that was once extremely relevant to a previous generation fare in a later one? Very well it seems, the new version of the Buick Regal couldn't be more different from its predecessor, yet it still seems to owe a fair bit of its popularity to these vehicles. After all, the original Buick Regal created the legacy, and now the new Buick is profiting from it.

Since the GMC Terrain first debuted in 2009, more than half of its annual sales have come from none General Motors makes. For the last four years, the GMC Acadia has drawn more than half of its buyers (annually) from non-GM brands. Both the smaller GMC Terrain and the full-size GMC Acadia have consistently impressed us down at [Dealer] with their performance, handling and style, but it seems that we're not the only ones noticing what makes these some of best vehicles on the road today.

Luxury automaker, Buick, just recently introduced the redesigned LaCrosse to their quickly-evolving lineup. Already, the posh-looking piece of "performance art"¹ is attracting quite a following of discerning drivers. It could be for the sedan's understated yet impactful good looks. It could be for its advanced in-car technology. It's expert-tuned handling, first-rate rear seating, envious rear leg-room, class-leading fuel efficiency, award-winning safety, top-of-the-line sound system, or maybe it's all of the above. Buick has not so much as tapped the brakes since the vehicle's release.

Rather, the American automaker has been stepping on the accelerator, looking…

Car shopping can be a frenzied experience. You have to get all the options you want, in the style you want, at a comfortable price. And what about your family...will they like it, too? If you want to trade up in a few years, will the car you just invested in still be worth anything? If you invest in a GMC, it definitely will.

ALG, known industry-wide for determining benchmarks for residual value, handed out their annual awards at the Los Angeles Auto Show for vehicles that will be the most valuable after three years of ownership. It was…

The 2012 Buick LaCrosse has been given a slew of upgrades, though some are concerned with a higher base price - but the General Motors brand keeps its price tag under $30,000.

Official MSRP comes in at $29,960 - that's around $2800 over 2011's variant - but check out what's new on this great American made vehicle:

SEVEN equipment upgrades following the success of last year's model. These include "Convenience" options like remote start, "Leather" options that makes your seating much slicker, "Premium I, II, III" groups that give you upgraded memory in the dash, added horsepower…

For many years, Buick was known as a producer of larger luxury cars, marketed to the business class and senior citizens. Those days are over - as the Buick Verano hits dealerships later this year it will be one of the smaller cars from the American auto maker. Though it will be an entry level vehicle, that doesn't make it any less luxurious.

Available with the leather option and digital package, 2012's Verano will be built on top of the Chevy Cruze frame, however but this will not be a rebranded vehicle. An amazing digital package will include Bluetooth…

As of now, the smallest vehicle in GMC's line up is the all new GMC Terrain, available at Vaden of Beaufort - 2811 Boundary Street in Beaufort, SC. But as consumer tastes are changing, the auto makers will also have to adapt.

This is probably part of the logic behind GMC's decision to put their Granite Concept into production. The GM owned auto maker expects to add the sub-compact to their line up in 2013.

For years, GMC has catered to utility truck and suburban SUV driving audiences. Now making an attempt to broaden their fan base, attacking urban…

JD Power and Associates is one of the oldest and most respected consumer rating systems for products and businesses in the nation. GMC has scored as one of the Top 10 industry brands in a 2011 JD Power Initial Quality Study. Good going GMC!

GMC ranked 10th overall in the survey, moving up 15 positions in comparison to last year.

The 2011 GMC Yukon XL came in 2nd place overall in JD Power's 'large crossover/SUV segment' of the study. The updated vehicle exceeded segment averages by 7% as well.

"The 2011 Initial Quality Study is based on responses…

Crossover, SUV and truck ads on the television and in magazines are often underwhelming. Do you recall any that stand out from the crowd? It's hard right? They all seem to follow the same format: SUV on Dune...Crossover Climbing Non-Descript Hill...Truck Hauling Boat Up Non-Descript Hill.

In recognizing that photography within the auto industry follows a kind of sheep mentality, GMC decided to break away from the herd. For their 2012 catalog, the rugged automaker decided not to follow the expected Crossover-on-Steep-Road-, Luxury-Model-Next-to-Edgy-Urban-Edifice, or Truck-Hauling-Large-Trailer-Out-West templates.

Daring to be different, GMC instead loaned their vehicles to nonprofits…
