New Two-Mode Hybrid From GM Could Be Buick Crossover

2012buick.jpg Did you see the new Buick commercials that aired during this weekend's NBA title game? They implored viewers to "take a look at me now" as if Buick was some middle-aged housewife fresh out of plastic surgery.

GM's junior luxury division is going to need more than snappier commercials to get attention and according to a GM fan site a hybrid might be its next attempt to gain some recognition.

GM-volt.com says that the two-mode plug-in hybrid system developed for the Saturn Vue may make its way into a new Buick compact crossover. A CBS news report is thought to have revealed a glimpse of the upcoming sport utility and not surprisingly it looked like a downsized Enclave.

Idiots-wheres the cruze hybrid? The 2 mode MAlibu hybrid? GM still needs to get its priorities straight. Good looking CUV though.

I laughed when the "hip new commercial" played a song from the early 90's.
