Luxury for Less

Buick is reclaiming its former splendor with a bevy of business vehicles that equal the Lexus lineup in quality and dependability, according to J.D. Power and Associates. Among them is a new crossover SUV: the Enclave CX/CXL. Buick's highest-priced vehicle, it's still priced below premium competitors' stickers. Loaded with standard equipment, touches of polished wood grain and leather seats that are practically artistic, the seven-passenger vehicle includes 115-cubic-foot cargo capacity, a remote-powered liftgate, a V-6 engine, an exceptionally quiet cabin, roof rails and OnStar. Other models in this category include the Acura MDX, Audi Q7 and Cadillac SRX.
