To answer the question, at a race track.
We were in NY/CT for the whole drive. Still not legal, but no ****s were given.

I saw a white one two days ago. Car looks awesome, and no joke is up at the top of my list now (for when my Malibu gives up the ghost). I am very impressed.
How would you compare it to the upcoming Malibu?

Malibu is a much bigger car, but features will be very similar with a top level Verano having higher quality leather. If you want to give up a little interior space (Verano's trunk is pretty big) Verano is a perfect car for people wanting true luxury withput going with a larger and more expensive car.

I kinda wish I was still at the Buick dealership to give one of these things a test drive...I never really got excited about Buick's lineup aside from the Regal GS...and now this car...they could potentially soak up a lot of the small car market with the Verano.

I think they priced the car very well, and the standard features with Verano makes it a great buy in this segment. Intellilink is actually very good, much better than I thought. No lagging like with MyFord.

You'd be surprised. The engineers got together with the makers of Oregon Trail to come up with a design that would in fact be able to ford the river just in case that scenario came up.

So, what you are saying, is that I cannot blame GM for when the car doesn't run well after attempting to ford a river and losing ALL of my oxen?
Does this cover getting influenza, or snake bites?

Absolutely, it's pretty spacious inside.

Yeah, but more cubes and more PAH = better than your Cobalt.

More torque keeps the car moving pretty well. This also has the 2nd generation 6spd autos, so the shifts are a lot nicer and crisper. A lot of the first gen ones could do a little gear-hunt sometimes, but this seems to be fixed now.
