The Rainier is available only in the short-wheelbase (113-inch) configuration--no seven-passenger stretch version will be offered. It comes loaded with such standards as leather seating, OnStar, heated front seats with memory, dual-zone climate control, and blue-on-silver-finished instrument faces. In addition to the more-than-adequate standard 275-horse Vortec 4200 DOHC I-6, the Rainier is available with the torquier 290-horsepower Vortec 5300 OHV V-8. It's the only short-wheelbase GM midsize SUV fitted with the V-8 so far and should make the Rainier a pleasant rig for towing midsize trailers up to 6700 pounds.Standard Bilstein gas shocks, self-leveling pneumatic rear suspension, and four-wheel vented discs hold up their end of the deal. Buyers get a choice of rear drive with traction control or on-demand all-wheel drive. Not since the '96 Roadmaster has Buick had a RWD V-8 towing vehicle in its stable.Buick tuned the Rainier's suspension for less harshness and more compliance; it's no Park Avenue in the ride department, but the engineers have managed to exorcise most of the truck jounce without compromising driver control. While turn-in could be even crisper with the standard 17-inch Michelins, the Rainier's rack-and-pinion steering is fairly precise and nicely weighted. The cabin is luxury-car quiet at speed, courtesy of extra sound-deadening materials as well as acoustic laminated side glass and windshield that other GM T360 models don't get.Buick customers (and dealers) will welcome the Rainier, if for no other reason than it's nice to see a V-8-powered model back in the lineup.

2015 Buick Verano gets styling tweak, loses 6-speed manual
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Well, all good things must come to an end. For 2015, the Buick Verano's experiment with a manual transmission will cease, as the American manufacturer has announced it will discontinue the 6MT in the turbocharged version of its compact sedan. According to Buick, the take rate on the Verano Turbo 6MT was (unsurprisingly) low, leading to its discontinuation.
That's not the only bit of news for the Verano, though. After a few years on the market, Buick has seen fit to refresh the popular sedan. The visual changes aren't huge, really, with subtle tweaks to the headlights and taillights. We'd bargain that the average passer-by wouldn't notice a difference between the two.
The main aesthetic change is a new appearance package, available on the mid-range Convenience and Leather option groups. Unimaginatively called just that - Appearance Package - it offers up a new paint color, Desert Dusk Metallic, as well as a grille treatment and a rear spoiler. The new package is, however, limited to naturally aspirated models.
GM announces 6 recalls covering nearly 720k cars
Wed, 23 Jul 2014General Motors has announced yet another sprawling recall campaign, with six separate elements covering 717,950 vehicles on US roads. At this point in 2014, it's starting to seem like there are more days with a GM recall than without. Perhaps most troubling about this latest volley, though, is that every vehicle is from the past few years, indicating that GM's quality woes may not be limited to pre-bankruptcy vehicles.
The largest element of this latest campaign covers 414,333 units, and includes the 2011 to 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 2010 to 2012 Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain and Cadillac SRX and the 2011 to 2012 Buick Regal and LaCrosse. Only vehicles with powered, height-adjustable seats are covered. In these particular cars and crossovers, the bolt that secures the height adjuster actuator may loosen of its own accord and in some cases fall out completely. If this happens, the seats will be able to move both up and down. GM claims the vehicles are safe to drive, provided drivers don't vertically adjust their seats. This particular issue has caused one crash and three injuries.
