DriftBusta Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Looks like the tide is changing on EVs, and the government is not going to be able to shove them down the publics throat. Maybe they'll give everyone a 15,000 subsidy next. Why not?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know yet. we have rights unless the government declares an emergency. Maybe why they’re calling it a climate emergency now. so basically we only have rights until the government says nah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICG Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 A buy out is probably better than owning a Franchise that's an underperformer.... Tha handwriting is on the wall that The Big Three know EV's aren't ready for mass marketing..... No way would I hold the paper on a Buick dealership..... Hyundai, Subaru, Toyota . . . They own the Lions share of the market Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftBusta Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Bring back the Electra deuce and a quarter, and put a big ass motor in it, awd and all the modern amenities. That would probably sell. Old man has 3 brand new ones growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted December 24, 2023 Share Posted December 24, 2023 Its a good move for the dealerships. They can run endless commercials with young mixed race couples gushing about how awesome their new Buick is, but the reality is they know their base is older white rural Americans who want no part of owning an electric car. The new electric Buick concept car is not bad looking……Younger buyers in the market just aren’t going to run out and buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member BOHICA Posted December 24, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Buick is/has been dying.
