Rare does not equal valuable...
😢🤣
Nowhere is this more evident than the "rare" red needled cars...
Lol

Don't hold you breath, you will suffocate.I'll jump on the bandwagon and also say this my last GM. Back to Honda & Toyota I go. TourX has been great (for the most part) but feeling deserted by GM and worried about part availability in the future.

As some smartass said of the Areton wagon, if you can't sell 500 Areton's a month, how is the wagon going to make things "BETTER"?Don't hold you breath, you will suffocate.
Volkswagen Arteon wagon spied for the first time looking dapper
Said before and I'll say again..the failure of the TourX wasn't due to lack of a market--it was due to piss poor marketing. GM/Buick never knew what the TourX was...much less how to market it.
Parts won't be a problem. Opel (now part of Peugot that makes the car) plans to continue making the car as it is still selling in Europe. GM will still sell it in China where it also sells in volume. So parts will continue to be made and shipped to the USA for quite some time as the car itself is not being discontinued, just discontinued in the USA.I'll jump on the bandwagon and also say this my last GM.

i feel like im the only one not freaking out about it sometimes. these parts will be available for quite some time. Also, all the Regals that i have written up for collision repairs have gotten parts and back on the road in a timely manner. I'm curious why some folks are being told they cant get the parts when i have yet to run into that issue with my customers Regals. I personally was rear ended in my GS and my rear fascia and all other parts came in lickity-split and had my car back in 3 weeks. Parts all arrived in 3-5 days. after that i was just waiting for the body shop to actually DO the work. Maybe im just the luckiest man alive and should play the lottery.Parts won't be a problem.

I've been waiting to see what Genesis' CPO program looks like (they are supposed to get a program that is distinct from Hyundai but I've been wondering what the details will be.) The Kia Cadenza is the best FWD Lesabre that Buick never built.I was just at the 2020 Chicago Auto Show this week. The Buick stand was nothing but vehicles that start with an "E". I asked about the Regal, the representative said the 2020 Regal was still available but Buick decided to feature the new Encore GX instead of bringing any Regal models. There was plenty of floor space available for a TourX, GS, and Sportback as the booth was the same size as last year but they have less to show. Pretty sad.
Here's the new Encore GX, excuse the off-topic:
While at the Cadillac display, I sat in the CT5 and CT4 sedans. The CT5 would probably be closest to the Regal sedan market, but the rear seat in the CT5 was a joke. Where the Regal Sportback has headroom and legroom behind a 6-foot driver, this CT5 was next to impossible to get in to, sit in, and get out of for another 6-foot adult. The CT6 is much, much better, but it's more money.
Nope, I think GM has made their decision in the North American market and it's Trucks, SUVs, and Crossovers. Meanwhile, Genesis and Kia have very nice, well-designed sedans if you're looking for the traditional "American" luxury sedan.
