The 2 of you are really finding a rhythm in the videos together. Active give and take and 2 adults having a fun discussion about a car. Nice to see and really happy for you. Great video guys. TY.
You really got me when you said, "it feels like a Buick". Now I'm definitely intrigued. Truly enjoy what you have done with this channel - thank you. ~ Chuck
Thanks for the vlog I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovariacn cncer. 3I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far no1t very successful(
It's amusing when someone thinks a price tag of 65K is impressive because of other prices being 100K+. This generation is oblivious to reality and is so easily manipulated and has been trained to believe that these prices are acceptable, when but four years ago this car would have been around 50K.
Its a generation convinced that a $1000 phone at $50 to $100 a month is normal and a requirement for life. The greatest marketing money grab in a long time.
Pontiac. THAT was the greatest car company until they got bought out then sold off in 2008. Broke my heart. My dream car is to get me another Grand Prix GTP. I had a new one but was young. It was TOO fast for me. But now that i am old, I want another one and restore it. But they made so many awesome cars, Firebird, Fiero etc etc.
The Grand Prix GTP may have been “kind of quick” by late 90’s early 2000’s standards, but GTP ran 0-60 in 6.7 seconds and ran mid 14’s quarter miles. My F150 work truck goes 0-60 in low 5 seconds, high 13 second 1/4 miles stock from the factory while being able to tow 13,000lbs.
@@br549200 Sorry I didnt say it right. Pontiac was always a division of General Motors. But the deal in 2010 for the Govt bailing them out was that had to liquify some assets or some such. So they dismantled Pontiac.
I had to look 10 times to make sure the other car wasn’t a comical AI rendering. Then we see it’s real and Buick is proud of it! The height of that grille is almost the height of the entire GN.
Because it is, just re-skinned for the US. Same goes for the last years of the LaCrosse. I think the Regal was even built in Germany and sent over ready to go.
People don't know it's a re-branded peice of 💩. Worked on one 5 years old, windows failed, timing system failed belt squeaks like a duck , by God these cars are now 🦆
We have a 21 Avenir. Love it. 6 cylinder. No issues. I went into the dealership for 25k service. While there, I looked at the 25 Avenir. Great looking vehicle. The only thing that turned me off was the 4 cylinder turbo. And getting about the same mpg. Ours tows our boat easily. About 3200 pounds. I think the 4 cylinder might not last under loads. Edit: the options pkg like super cruise was standard on ours. If I remember correctly, the only options on ours was towing, all weather mats, mud flaps and roof cross bars.
Remember when everyone lost their shit when the Jeep Cherokee showed up with the high mounted DRL where the headlights typically go and had the headlights mid grille? They got such backlash that they changed it during a styling refresh a few years later. Now fast forward a decade later and there are so many copycat designs including this one
YES!! Hoovie nailed it on the whole SUV/Crossover thing and his description. Now if only publications, certain manudacturers and other reviewers can take note and classify these vehicles properly.
It reminds me so much of my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe. I am not putting it down or making jokes, it just has all the same looks and feel. I have the Ultimate package on mine and it has all the same things exept for the long dash touch screen and I don't have heads up but I have adaptive CC and the radar unit all around to let me know a lizard is walking on my bumper. I really like this car. Thanks for letting me know that my 2017 is still keeping up with the jones's of the cars of today in 2025
That is, if their significant other doesn't beat the weather to death for not coming home with a car large enough to fit their two kids and one of their cellos. @@AH-bm4ts
Unfortunately the only thing keeping Buick alive at this point is their Chinese market. The only modern Buick worth considering is the 2018-2020 Regal GS and Tour X wagon. The GS was the last ever "performance" model Buick made, and only 1400 of them. I just picked up a 2018 for a daily, but also own an 87 T-Type. I appreciate your continued enthusiasm for the Buick brand, but really that enthusiasm is limited to prior models.

I’ll just keep rocking my 2002 LeSabre. 😎 She’s just about to roll over to 65,000 miles! Gotta love finding a “Sunday driver, old lady” special. Got it in 2021 with just barely over 41,000 miles.
Thanks Hoovie for pointing out the difference between a SUV and a CUV. I am getting sick what the marketing people and a lot of journalists call SUV's in the last 20 years. Everything is nowaday a SUV to their terms.
The "wtf is that thing?!" thing, is a WCAC - water cooled air cooler, or charge cooler as they're more commonly known. A water based version of an intercooler.
I wonder how many of those Buicks will be scrapped when the supply of replacement displays come to an end? If it was 20 years old do you think there would be a replacement? How about 30 years old? Or 40 years old? This is designed in obsolescence on steroids. There will be folks out there wondering how to create a proper dash for them when that damn thing dies!
I get what you are saying, but can you get a new instrument cluster for even a 10 years old car? If there isnt anything weird with this screen it shouldn't be a problem. The engine will probably be in all of the Wizard not to buy lists, thats the real problem.
1:19 No, what's WILD is that people think $65,000 isn't that much. How much was Buick's most expensive car 20 years ago? How about just 10 years ago? It is ridiculous. My 2020 Ford Escape Titanium new was only $40,000 which is STILL TOO MUCH.
I put 18inch rims on my 2020 enclave Avenir so it rides better over expansion joints ect. It's been a great car considering it's not a 3/4 ton suburban. Grew up in the back seat of Riviera's and Park Aves and after seeing Doug Demuro point out the cheap carpet in a review which has since been taken down I was sold.
Tyler and April should start a series where they learn how to work on cars, start small, then build up, you could have an expert there to help and keep things goin, but you two should have some mechanical skill as well.
Always like Buicks...not sure I'd buy that though. My first ever Hoovie video was you reviewing a Buick Century...lol Glad you've recovered nicely, April...even with the help of a dead person. (Sorry..still freaks me out.) lol
My local GM dealer just got rid of their Buick Franchise after almost 60 years. Cannot say that I really blame them. I have owned a 96 Roadmaster Estate for almost 14 years now. It’s not a daily, but I’ll take it out on nice days.
I feel shiver down the spine of dealership guys (and dollar-count runs), while April knocks and shrikes with her war claws on the very new tail- and head-lights plastic, grill and the rest of the new Enclave body ... hehehe
Please take April skiing again. She should move to wearing '80's neon colors for her outdoor recreation. An all white outfit on the ski slope is camouflage. I suggest going to A Basin in Feb or March.
Sounds like Tyler has a little training to do! Tyler Bro. What the heck Tyler teach April how to change her own spare tire! No one should drive a vehicle without knowing how to do it period.
65k bargain. Ok, my most recent car purchase was $1025 for a sweet retired government police Impala with the 3800. I did most the wrenching and paint work on it to bring it up to spec. Have 3300 all in fully sorted out. Great driving vehicle.
Perfectly fine engine probably. I don't understand why all cars need a V8, 4 cylinders are totally fine. I guess 95% of cars in europe have 4 or less cylinders for decades and no issues with it. They are used for towing, in big family sedans and SUVs.
Can't believe they rate that to tow 5,000 pounds. More than you can tow with a jeep gladiator. I don't think I would tempt fate by towing at its max rating.
that's an air to water intercooler. interesting choice for them, but keeps the packaging small, for some reason they didn't think they had enough space under that hood... sure ok.
Bought my 2013 Buick Verano Turbo in 2019 - 60k miles, excellent condition, fully loaded, 250hp for $7000. Still going strong for the daily commute - I don't quite understand the spending of these enormous amounts of money for basic transportation. A Buick is not a Bugatti - it drops in value every day you own it.
Just test drove a 25 Enclave Avenir. Fantastic driving car. So smooth and a very nice place to be. Too bad it's hideous outside. Otherwise a super nice car for 65k.
I just bought a Buick!! I can’t believe it. Great deal. Tiny engine. So so mpg but it has a ton of options and tech. $19k and .9%. Oh. And it’ll burn ethanol. And they don’t rent them in fleets

WOW! That's EXACTLY what the world needs is another SUV crossover! Well done Buick, way to think outside of the box! LOL! 😂
It's not new. They have made this since like 08. It's just the new body style buick enclave 😊
That's what sells.
Scientists predict by the year 2035 two thirds of the visible universe will be occupied by the Avenir grille
Yes you are right - between this and a Lexus LX570 its a wonder there is any room left.
The casual Bugatti in the background… 💀
That weird looking thing is the intercooler! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Metallic purple.

More like 10 years ago. 4 years ago, it would have been a 60-62k car
Its a generation convinced that a $1000 phone at $50 to $100 a month is normal and a requirement for life. The greatest marketing money grab in a long time.
Yeah that’s crazy I think a base model X5 is like 65k which is a top 10 most reliable luxury vehicle 😊

Hats off to the dealerships that provide vehicles for your test drives. I enjoy seeing what new cars are coming out.
One of these days we will talk about the blue mustang in the room.
Seen it.
Well he never talked about the 720S he had, so maybe not.
I think he's had a lot of cats we've never seen.
The buick regal looks suspiciously like a vauxhall insignia in the uk
Because it is, just re-skinned for the US. Same goes for the last years of the LaCrosse. I think the Regal was even built in Germany and sent over ready to go.
Wait until you learn they tried to market the first generation Vauxhall Mokka as a luxury car in the USA...

Tyler: "It doesn't matter how big it is." April: "BUT IT DOES!" @4:15
Did Tyler not know what an air to water intercooler was when he saw it?
April is channeling her inner Vanna White.
April's reaction to the realization that she was now an EV snob was just adorable. Ya'll make such a cute couple.

Be sure you have the intake valves cleaned of carbon build up regularly on that GDI engine. And change the oil every 3-4k miles.
@seanhoward8025 Thanks for the tip. I do the oil every 6 months. About 2500-3200 miles. I use mobile 1.

I"m just curious, does April have any pants that are not Yoga pants?
I'm curious, do you want to see her in anything else? 😂
No, I think her exclusively wearing Yoga pants is a law. Don't quote me, but I'm sure that's the case.
Gosh, I hope not 😊
Lots of women only wear these. Who cares?
I’m just curious, are you single ? If you have a wife or even a gf you would know that’s literally all woman wear anymore
Thats the charged air cooler under the plastic cover. It's actually very similar to the Ingenium JLR engines.

As a die hard grand national guy and an owner of two of them. I still love to see them in the videos April time to get a GNX !
I would buy that Grand National over that SUV ANYDAY!
And you'll likely die if that SUV runs into you in the grand national 😢😅
In 10 years that Grand National will be worth more than the Avenir
That is, if their significant other doesn't beat the weather to death for not coming home with a car large enough to fit their two kids and one of their cellos. @@AH-bm4ts
@@AH-bm4ts At least you would die driving something decent.
Technically, Buick still sells four cars - Verano, Velite, Regal, and LaCrosse, they're just only available in China
Yup
This is a tv add Y’all !
"I thought it was reading my mind"- tremendous insight by April!
All I can notice are the matching coloured yoga pants…Whooo!
The last Buick Regals, sportback and TourX, based on the Opal cars were rally cool, under rated cars.
Looks like a mini Van to me. Probably bigger than the original ones.
April should get paid royalties by Buick, her wearing their gear, really ups their game.
That Enclave is sick!! This truck is absolutley sexy

Another 2.4L direct injected turbocharger engine that won't last much beyond 100,000 miles. And let's not mention the service repair costs

Thank you April
I would actually drive one of those. I had a lesabre in highschool and it was so nice.
I like this modern Enclave, it's got a nice design
99% of people cannot tell which model is which, if you line all 4 Buick crossovers in a row
While I wouldn’t won’t to tow anything with that, the trailer hitch will come in handy for a bicycle rack or utility rack.

It's called an intercooler
How long have you been doing this???
Spare tire is under the hidden storage compartment, you just missed it. There is also diagram when you flip the floor divider.
Please take April skiing again. She should move to wearing '80's neon colors for her outdoor recreation. An all white outfit on the ski slope is camouflage. I suggest going to A Basin in Feb or March.
