Buick Side Steps Lexus and Acura to take Aim at Lincoln


(Surrey, UK)Performance on par with a Lincoln MKS seems to be benchmark for Buick engineers when dialing in the new Buick Sedan. Buick even seems to be flaunting its bench mark as they openly drive around with mules as pictures from autoblog proof. While the information coming out of the manufacturer's camp (Buick) is muted, is easy to see why the MKS would be the preferred benchmark vs. Lexus or Acura.
Its clearly evident from the Buick Enclave that Buick has overtaken Lexus as far as execution and styling goes in its new product offerings. Clearly, GM considers its Detroit based rival as the new game in town and has side stepped Japan for this product. Given that the CTS was benchmarked against German offerings, its would be great to see how GM internal analysis reached to the conclusion that Lincoln is the product to beat in this segment.
