Top Midsize Crossover is.. The Buick Enclave!

Buick Enclave named top midsize crossover in quality study

The Buick Enclave, among a trio of crossover vehicles produced at General Motors Co.’s Lansing Delta Township assembly plant, was named the top midsize crossover in this year’s Initial Quality Study by market research firm J.D. Power and Associates.
The Enclave is the only locally produced vehicle to earn honors in the study, released Wednesday. It measures vehicle appeal and design and production quality. Among large crossovers, the Ford Expedition topped a segment GM historically has won.
GM earned a total of four awards.
The Enclave “performed at an exceptional level this year,” said David Sargent, J.D. Power’s vice president of global automotive.
J.D. Power, based in Westlake Village, Calif., has issued the study for 26 years as a gauge of quality among new vehicles. This year, 26 of the 34 measured brands improved and overall quality increased by about 5 percent from a year ago, to 102 problems per 100 vehicles, the firm said.
“The industry is producing better-quality vehicles than it has ever done in the past,” Sargent said, adding that the rate of improvement is the fastest since 2009. “This year’s vehicles are even better than last year’s.”
Customers increasingly are reporting problems with their vehicles’ multimedia systems, according to the study. Problems with hands-free technology systems, in particular, are up 137 percent in the last four years.

10 Best Lease Deals For Your Money

If you’re shopping for a new car, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of incentives offered by manufacturers designed to entice to consumers into choosing their vehicle. If you’re choosing your next new car based on a strategic price point, these incentives can sometimes be the motivating factor in choosing one vehicle over another. Vehicle leases make shopping by price point even easier, by offering an easy and cost effective way to get into some of the most popular vehicles currently on sale.

Attractive lease deals are available across the automotive marketplace, regardless of whether you’re shopping for a luxury sedan or a more practical car or sport/utility vehicle. New-car shoppers can choose between lease deals with low monthly payments and a substantial down payment, or go the other way with no money due at signing and higher monthly payments.

But when lease and incentive offers are abundant, how does a savvy consumer decide between several vehicles that might have similar monthly costs or lease terms? TrueCar is here to help you out with that. We gathered all the current lease terms currently being offered by manufacturers, and then looked at the monthly payment, lease term, down payment, and mileage in order to determine which lease deals provide consumers with the most bang for their buck. No matter what kind of new car you’re shopping for, or which lease offer works best for your budget, these 10 vehicles will get you into the most car possible for the least amount of money.

If you’re shopping based entirely on getting the lowest monthly payment, take a look at the number-one rated Ford Escape, which offers a payment of $159 for 24 months, with a down payment of $2,868. For the same $159 monthly payment you could also choose to lease the Ford Fusion or Chevrolet Cruze for 24 months with down payments of $2648 or $1,879, respectively.

Also priced down there with extremely affordable monthly payments are the $22,870 Chevy Malibu and $20,500 Ford Focus, which offer 24 lease payments of  $179 or $169 with down payments of  $1589 or $2398, respectively.

If you’re looking to lease something with no money down, new-car shoppers have a choice between the Honda Civic or the Buick Verano which offer 24 monthly payments of $220 or $299. This option allows shoppers to choose between a $19,395 midsize sedan or $23,470 full-size sedan with no money down for just a $79 difference in the monthly payment.

For the same monthly payment as the Verano, the number-two best value on this list is the $37,175 Buick Enclave premium sport utility vehicle, which can be leased for 24 payments of $299 with $2199 down.

If you’re shopping for something larger or more luxurious and don’t mind spending a bit more each month, the choices expand. The $34,920 Ford Explorer can be leased for 24 payments of $329 with a down payment of $3748. Or you could choose the elegant Mercedes-Benz E350 BlueTec sedan for a monthly least payment of $579 — putting you into the seat of a $52,595 luxury sedan for 24 months at a total out-of-pocket expense of $17,769.

Buick Lacrosse Blends Efficiency & Luxury

The 2012 Buick LaCrosse with eAssist is about as efficient as the Mini or the Toyota Corolla, thanks to a mild hybrid technology that boosts in-town mileage by 32 percent and highway efficiency by 20 percent to 36 mpg.
With a base price of $29,960, the LaCrosse with eAssist competes with the Toyota Camry hybrid in price and efficiency while challenging the Lexus HS 250h and Acura TL in luxury.
Introduced in late 2004 as a 2005 model to replace the Century and Regal, theLaCrosse entered its second generation as a 2010 model. The stylish sedan was initially available with two V6 engine choices in three trim levels.
The second generation debuted at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in Detroit as sporty Lexus fighter.
The 2.4 L Ecotec 4-cylinder engine replaced the 3-liter V6 as the standard engine on the CX model in the first quarter of 2010. The V6 remains an option on the CX and front-wheel drive CXL and standard on the CXL and all-wheel drive CXL.
The new mild hybrid serves as the LaCrosse base model as the non-hybrid 4-cylinder version of the sedan is dropped from the line-up.
The eAssist system consists of a 115-volt lithium-ion battery pack, a 15-kilowatt electric motor offering up to 15 horsepower of assist while accelerating, and the next generation 6T40 GM Hydromatic transmission with reduced friction components over the previous generation. The hybrid power supplements the 182 horsepower, 2.4 liter 4-cylinder engine. The system allows the engine to stop when the car isn’t moving and allows for complete fuel cut off to the engine during deceleration.
As with most hybrids, you can feel or hear the transition between power sources, so the engine does not seem as smooth as the traditional V6. However, the eAssist gives theLaCrosse plenty of power and maintains Buick’s reputation for effortless driving.
The sedan also features improved underbody aerodynamics and tires upgraded for performance and fuel economy. Active control of front-end airflow improves aerodynamics and engine warm-up. Electronically controlled shutters in the lower grille close at higher speeds to push more air over the vehicle, which increases aerodynamic efficiency to enhance fuel economy.
Riding on a four-wheel independent suspension system, the Buick uses a four-link rear suspension that uses isolating mounts to reduce noise and vibration. StabiliTrak electronic stability control system is standard, as is a variable-effort power steering system, four-wheel disc brakes with four-channel antilock system, electronic brake force distribution and brake assist system.
Interactive features include in-dash navigation with a 40-gigabyte hard drive, Bluetooth, an auxiliary audio input and a USB port. An option package for rear-seat passengers includes a power rear-window sunshade and a DVD entertainment system.
Buick’s IntelliLink system connects portable devices with the car’s infotainment system. An option package that includes head-up display is very attractive. With this display in the lower portion of the windshield, the driver really never needs to take his eyes off the road.
Other safety features include Side Blind Zone Alert technology, which notifies the driver if vehicles in adjacent lanes are in the driver’s blind spot. A rearview camera system that features a display integrated into the navigation system screen is part of the $1,440 driver confidence package.
“The winning combination of advanced technology, no-compromise driving performance and luxurious style and passenger comfort stand to make LaCrosse with eAssist a must-have sedan,” says Tony DiSalle, U.S. vice president, Buick marketing.
