The Rainier is available only in the short-wheelbase (113-inch) configuration--no seven-passenger stretch version will be offered. It comes loaded with such standards as leather seating, OnStar, heated front seats with memory, dual-zone climate control, and blue-on-silver-finished instrument faces. In addition to the more-than-adequate standard 275-horse Vortec 4200 DOHC I-6, the Rainier is available with the torquier 290-horsepower Vortec 5300 OHV V-8. It's the only short-wheelbase GM midsize SUV fitted with the V-8 so far and should make the Rainier a pleasant rig for towing midsize trailers up to 6700 pounds.Standard Bilstein gas shocks, self-leveling pneumatic rear suspension, and four-wheel vented discs hold up their end of the deal. Buyers get a choice of rear drive with traction control or on-demand all-wheel drive. Not since the '96 Roadmaster has Buick had a RWD V-8 towing vehicle in its stable.Buick tuned the Rainier's suspension for less harshness and more compliance; it's no Park Avenue in the ride department, but the engineers have managed to exorcise most of the truck jounce without compromising driver control. While turn-in could be even crisper with the standard 17-inch Michelins, the Rainier's rack-and-pinion steering is fairly precise and nicely weighted. The cabin is luxury-car quiet at speed, courtesy of extra sound-deadening materials as well as acoustic laminated side glass and windshield that other GM T360 models don't get.Buick customers (and dealers) will welcome the Rainier, if for no other reason than it's nice to see a V-8-powered model back in the lineup.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

1969 Chevrolet Chevelle vs 1987 Buick GNX in Generation Gap showdown
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Generation Gap generally tries to adhere to a theme for each episode, and for the final video from the Lingenfelter collection, the series might have its best idea yet - limited-production muscle cars from General Motors.
On one side you get a 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle COPO, and it's an absolute sleeper. Other than the SS wheels, this classic coupe looks practically bone stock, at least until the engine fires up. Under the hood is a 427-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) V8 making a claimed 425 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This was the sole year for the COPO package on the Chevelle, and Chevy only made about 323 of them.
The Chevelle's challenger is almost as rare and arguably just as cool. The 1987 Buick Grand National GNX looks just as mean today as when new. It eschews a traditional muscular V8 in favor of a 3.8-liter turbo V6 making a claimed 276 hp and 360 lb-ft, although that number is supposedly a bit underrated. Also, just 547 examples of the GNX version were ever built making it quite a collector's item too.
2014 Buick LaCrosse to sticker at $34,060*
Tue, 18 Jun 2013Buick first showed the facelifted 2014 LaCrosse at this year's New York Auto Show, and General Motors' luxury-ish arm has now confirmed that pricing for the updated sedan will start at $34,060 (*including $925 for destination), a increase of $1,505 over the 2013 model.
Buyers will be treated to an updated appearance, both inside and out. On the outside, tweaks were made to the LaCrosse's front and rear fascias, and new wheels are on offer (though the ones seen on the car pictured above seem to have been simply pulled from the 2011 Regal Turbo). Inside, there's a much cleaner center stack layout, complete with a standard eight-inch reconfigurable touchscreen IntelliLink interface. Buick is also offering a new Ultra Luxury interior package ($2,495), featuring Tamo Ash wood throughout the cabin, black synthetic suede on the headliner and leather seats in a new sangria color. Standalone options include different wheels, Bose audio, rear seat entertainment, navigation and a sunroof.
The 2014 LaCrosse's base powertrain is the trusty 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with eAssist, which is capable of achieving up to 36 miles per gallon on the highway. But for folks wanting more power, a 304-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 is available as a no-cost option, available with either front- or all-wheel drive.
