Meet Buick's midsize crossover, my new Encue, slotting nicely between their small Encore and their large Enclave. Woody, my friend that writes
Woody's Car Site blog, suggested this chop and I thank him for the idea! The base photo was the brand new for-Europe-only Chevrolet Trailblazer. I modified the Encore's front clip to fit the wider and longer Trailblazer body and added a few
casey/artandcolour touches including Buick's famed "Tricolor" badge, the letterspaced B-u-i-c-k nameplate above the grille and the chrome "teeth" in the now-functional scoops below the headlights. Other detail changes include a taller rearmost side window, the glass paneled roof, and a few added chrome embelishments here and there.
Wonderful execution of what could be the American alternative to selling this model in the States. It might be around the same size as the all new Caddy SRX give and take a few inches, but I would rather have Encue any day. GMC could technically spin off a model but I'd like Buick to remain exclusive.
ReplyDeleteAs a long time fan I'm never disappointed. This one is much nicer than Buick's small one. Innovative yet it keeps Buick's history in mind. It brings up a question - how do YOU feel about change, about a challenge? Any intrigue at all? E-mail me.

thanks, Bob. I like having long time fans, lol, and I try to not disappoint anyone.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with this choice.. if anything, Buick should have received this (since Chevy already has the Equinox) and Chevy could have offered the Trax in place of Buick's Encore. Once Ford decides to offer the next EcoSport in the US, we're gonna get the Trax anyway!
