Re: [MBZ] Top 10 best looking cars BUICK
You probably don't leave it parked, unattended very often. If you did, I'm sure you'd find a note from me. ;-) Sounds like a great car, never part with it, unless that is. lol Ed 300E On 21 September 2010 00:47, Hursley hurs...@verizon.net wrote: BTW, I am still the original owner of a '90 126 560 SEL with euro lights.

On a similar vein -- Anyone else think that the new Buicks look pretty good but the advertising is odd? I keep seeing these ads where they make some reference to it beign German. Makes no more sense now than it did 30 years ago. Why compare it to something it is not. Shows a lack of pride in American product.

Well GM is now owned by the US government, so you can draw your own conclusions about where the idea that European would be better than American came from.
